Daniel 1 v 1
I want you to understand that this book of history is the history of Daniel who
was captured as a slave. It is a scenario of what has happened in our very own
lives. In this book Nebukadnezza would be represented as an enemy of your
soul and the enemy of the children of God. He took the treasures of God and
stored them amongst his idols. It took the possessions of the children of God,
he took everything that had value from them and held them in bondage. The
first thing he did was to change their name, which was symbolic as a man is
devalued when someone takes away his name and give him another name of his
choice.
Daniel 1v3 the children of God are the Kingʼs seed when the devil is out, you are
his target, he looks for you to hold you captive, he will use anything. He skilfully
use the things that pleases your emotions and your appetite to hold you in
bondage. Food, money, lust the bright shiny things of the world. He doesnʼt
want anyone of less value, he looks for stars and enslave them. Because he is
after your soul, family, destiny he is after you. God is here to return and restore
everything to you that has been stolen John 10v10. Nebukadneza told his
servant to look for the best young lads, that looked good, so these were
handsome youths. They were well travelled, exposed and were knowledgeable
in the areas of Science, literature, Mathematics the principalʼs honour roll best
youths.
He looked for eight specific qualifications.
Princes and Princesses
People of Value
Quality
Youths (well favoured)
Handsome/Beautiful
Without Blemish
Skilfull in Knowledge and Wisdom
Refined and Polished
Whenever the enemy comes he gives you names, that contradict with the
Father. Depression, stupid, canʼt make it, look at you, who are you?
Discouragement, distress, his strategies does not change he is the old serpent.
He will continue to preach to you that you canʼt make it.
But you can, he will give you names.
These youth were taken from their homes and brought to a foreign land and
enslaved, it was a sign that they were under subjection under his authority.
History records two main period of Science the Greek period from 600 BC to
200 AD and the modern period from 1450 AD to current days.
They took them and taught them astrology, science, anatomy and the fine arts.
The devil tried to change their mind from the mind of God to the mind of the
world.
God has set us up for success to be knowledgeable and understanding to know
the times and act on it. In this new era the design of God will be displayed, men
and women will be challenged.
2020 is a preparation period from now onward will be dangerous.
Nebukhadnezza looked for skilful and knowledgable youths.
Daniel understood the times by reading books he read, Christian spiritual
books, the news and the Bible. Expose yourself to wisdom and knowledge and
ask God for wisdom to withstand the times.
