20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Words of the Ministry:
We have looked at several aspects of Daniels life, we saw how he chose a life of sacrifice even from his childhood, we traced that to his upbringing stating the importance of parental guidance, we also saw in Daniel his exceptional wisdom that stood him out among his peers, we saw his boldness and commitment to God. His prayer life and consistency to the worship of Jehovah even when he had become well placed in a foreign land, that did not reduce his love for God, Daniel was a man after God’s heart, he was ready to die in the den of lions than to miss his regular prayers, indeed Daniel is a challenge to today’s church.
Today as we read Daniel chapter 7 and 8, we see another benefit Daniel enjoyed as he walked with God, the bible said God showed him visions and dreams of things which were about to come, some to happen in his days and others in future. Not only could Daniel interpret and recall the dreams of others concerning the happenings of their time, he also had insight into the future concerning the happenings of future generations. What a blessing and privilege to live in close intimacy with God, the bible says in Amos 3:7 “7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets”, we saw that in the life of persons like Abraham, Elisha and Moses.
Saints, doesn’t it bother you that despite having the Holy Spirit which the bible says reveals secret things to us even the secret things of God (1 Cor 2.10-11), many things happen around you without you knowing? When last did God reveal things to you concerning your family, business, country, government or even yourself. The bible teaches, it’s the privilege of those that fear God to know secrets not known by many. Many scientific inventions and technological advancements are products of secrets as nothing is new under the sun, a man gets the secret and makes it known. I like us to make it a matter to ask God to reveal secrets that would guide our decisions in the coming days as it is a privilege of God’s children to know this thing. Daniel wasn’t the only Jew at Babylon but while others bothered themselves about the kingdom happenings and politics, he spent his time with God in the secret place and eventually came out with secrets that placed him ahead of others. Shall we spend some time asking God to reveal his secrets plans to us, amen. Join us this Saturday and Sunday for Peniel by 4pm. Come with family and friends.
