“I dare you.”
A phrase used to challenge, goad, or provoke someone into doing something risky, scary, or embarrassing, often implying that the speaker believes the other person is too afraid to do it.
It is commonly used playfully, as in “truth or dare,” but can also be used aggressively to express defiance or to warn someone against a potential action.
People have been daring people since biblical times.
“All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.” (Daniel 6:7)
They knew Daniel, and this was a dare for him. They dared him to pray to the God of the Bible!
What would you do in a situation like this?
This was what Daniel did:
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” (Daniel 6:10)
In simple text, he continued living a holy life, pleasing the Lord and not men! What about you? Are you willing to please God instead of men?
There is a dare going on for 21 Days (we started on May 3rd), are you up for it?
I dare you to separate 21 Days for your spiritual development. This is the dare: you will cut off all secular information; news, movies, conversation, places, and things that do not add to your spiritual development. I dare you to pray more, read the Bible more, attend church more, every day if you need to. The doors of The Universal Church are open every day. Call for a location near you at 1-888-332-4141.
May is the month of revival, are you in?
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
