SELF_WILL DANGER.

Center verse: Daniel 11:3(KJV)                                                                  "And a mighty king shall stand up,that shall rule with dominion, and do according to his will" .Text; Daniel 11:1-4. The story was given by a roadside beggar that one day,requested for an arms from Alexander the great as he passed by. The man was a destitute and had no right upon the ruler to asked for an arms. Regardless that,the Emperor offered him several gold coins. A person in attendance at a royal court was surprised at his generosity and reported,sir,why are you giving him gold since copper coins would have been adequately meet his need. Alexander responded in Royal manner, truly, copper coins would fit the beggar's need, but gold coins is suitable for Alexander giving. Our reference in Daniel explains with unbelievable accuracy, the fate of Grecian Empire: how upon the death of Alexander his Empire would be shared into four, the disagreement between two of these divisions, Syria and Egypt, and the result which this wars would have upon the nation of Israel. Alexander the great was the "Mighty King" spoken about in our text who,after conquering the Persian Empire, died at the age of 32 abruptly. His Empire was terminated there since he had no children to take after him for they were murdered but instead was divided up against his warriors. Four smaller kingdoms consisting of Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece and Syria emerged from the broken Alexander's Empire. "Self_will as was written by saint Bernard,is that will which does not accord with the will of God nor that of other men, but which is narrowly our own. It revealed itself when we are concerned neither in the Glory of God nor in service of our fellows, but narrowly in ourselves. In this attitude we do not seek to please God nor assist our brothers,but primarily to satisfy our personal need.  If you are not to incure the wrath of God,crucify your self_ will permanently to the cross the saviour Jesus Christ. Remember, total freedom situates in presenting our will to God for his use. Further Bible verses: Daniel 8:4,5,7:6.
