Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.“

‭‭

What’s God’s vision for your life in that place or position you’re in?

God gave Nehemiah a burden, he identified God’s vision and he ran with it.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

”For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.“

As believers, God gives us spiritual gifts that we are to use to demonstrate His power and bring glory to His name. We see this manifest in Daniel & Joseph’s lives.

Psalms‬ ‭75‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”This I know: the favor that brings promotion and power doesn’t come from anywhere on earth, for no one exalts a person but God, the true judge of all..”

We all want to be promoted. But what kind of promotion should we be striving for and why?

Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭36‬ ‭NLT‬‬

”Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.“

Patience and Perseverance are virtues that are no longer celebrated or coveted in our current generation but we need them to fulfil God’s vision for our lives!

In Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭16‬, Jesus said to his disciples : “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.“ Joseph learnt this lesson the hard way because of his naivety!

Daniel‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

”But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.“

‭‭

When you have a lot of work to do or when you’re under pressure, what do you do? Learn from Daniel and Martin Luther what to do in such situations!

Daniel‬ ‭6‬:‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. “For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.“

‭‭

God positioned Daniel in the king’s court to be a minister to the kings of Babylon and reveal God to them. Who is God sending you to minister to?

Daniel‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”Then these men said, “We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”“

‭‭

Daniel was a man who genuinely loved God and did everything to honour and please Him and he didn’t hide it! Everyone around him knew about his faith in God and what he stood for. What do the people around us know about us?

Daniel‬ ‭2‬:‭49‬ ‭NLT‬‬

”At Daniel’s request, the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be in charge of all the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the king’s court.“

Daniel did not selfishly look out for just his own success in Babylon. He supported his friends, and it paid-off for all of them in the end!

Daniel‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.“

‭‭

As believers in the marketplace, our integrity will always be tested. The question is: will we hold up like Daniel and no fault will be found in us or will we fall apart like a pack of cards?
