Daniel rejected the king's offer to eat of his delicacies (Daniel 1:8).
Joseph rejected the offer of Potifa's wife to sleep with her (Gen 39:7-14).
Shedrack, Meshak and Abednego refused to bow before the king (Daniel 3:16-20).
Jesus Christ refused to succumb to the threats of the Jewish religious leaders(Luke 22:66-71). And to the Roman Rulers, He didn't yield to them (Luke 23:3 &11).
So also the apostles, they were not afraid to answer their accusers (Acts 4:19-20).
We have many accounts of the martyrs in church history who accepted death rather than denying Christ.
Here we're today, many are obeying the world system to the shame, reproach and disgrace of faith in God Almighty and His Son Jesus (Word) and the His Spirit's Power.
Thank God Almighty for His Mighty Spirit's move to purify the church for His Son's glorious return to judge the righteous and wicked.
