00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:04.791
<v Speaker 1>Greetings and blessings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ.

00:00:04.791 --> 00:00:19.414
<v Speaker 1>I have an amazing word for us today, titled Spirit-led Excellents, and this word comes from Daniel, chapter 5, verse 13, up to verse 16.

00:00:19.414 --> 00:00:33.802
<v Speaker 1>And the context of it is that King Belshazzar, who was in charge of Babylon, when they were having a party, saw a hand right or a finger right, some things on the wall, and he was shaken.

00:00:33.802 --> 00:00:36.189
<v Speaker 1>He could not figure out what it was about.

00:00:36.189 --> 00:00:42.070
<v Speaker 1>His wise men and chantas and everyone in the kingdom could not interpret.

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:48.271
<v Speaker 1>But finally they found this one guy called Daniel who could figure it out.

00:00:48.271 --> 00:00:54.951
<v Speaker 1>And Daniel was able to figure it out because God's Spirit was in him.

00:00:54.951 --> 00:01:06.174
<v Speaker 1>And no wonder the King says in verse 14, I have heard that the Spirit of the Gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.

00:01:06.174 --> 00:01:11.590
<v Speaker 1>And so the verses I'm reading are Daniel, chapter 5, verse 13, up to verse 16.

00:01:11.590 --> 00:01:20.411
<v Speaker 1>So Daniel was brought before the King and the King said to him Are you, daniel, one of the exiles my father, the King, brought from Judah?

00:01:20.411 --> 00:01:26.992
<v Speaker 1>I have heard that the Spirit of the Gods is in you and that you have insight.

00:01:26.992 --> 00:01:32.251
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.

00:01:32.251 --> 00:01:41.725
<v Speaker 1>The wise men and the unenchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain.

00:01:41.725 --> 00:01:48.231
<v Speaker 1>Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems.

00:01:48.231 --> 00:02:02.152
<v Speaker 1>If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you'll be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck and you'll be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

00:02:02.152 --> 00:02:06.109
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine if it was you and you are given such an offer?

00:02:06.820 --> 00:02:12.252
<v Speaker 1>But let me say three things that Spirit led excellence did for Daniel.

00:02:12.252 --> 00:02:19.006
<v Speaker 1>And these three things, if you allow the Holy Spirit to function in your life, god's Spirit will do for you.

00:02:19.006 --> 00:02:28.044
<v Speaker 1>Number one Spirit led excellence brings Daniel before the King In verse 13,.

00:02:28.044 --> 00:02:36.989
<v Speaker 1>So Daniel was brought before the King and the King said to him Are you, daniel, one of the exiles my father the King brought from Judah?

00:02:36.989 --> 00:02:41.354
<v Speaker 1>Spirit led excellence, bring Daniel before the king.

00:02:41.354 --> 00:02:50.385
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter how hidden you might feel, like you are, but if you allow the Holy Spirit in your life, finally, kings, you'll be brought before kings.

00:02:51.211 --> 00:03:00.985
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah, chapter 60, verse 3, says kings will come to the rising of your dune and nations, they will come to your light.

00:03:00.985 --> 00:03:09.217
<v Speaker 1>But number 2, spirit led excellence will help you unlock mysteries.

00:03:09.217 --> 00:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>This is what happened for Daniel.

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:16.945
<v Speaker 1>He was able to unlock mysteries and visions that others could not do.

00:03:16.945 --> 00:03:24.996
<v Speaker 1>The spirit of excellence is the spirit of revelation, and so he will help you unlock mysteries.

00:03:24.996 --> 00:03:27.497
<v Speaker 1>And today you know life is complicated.

00:03:27.497 --> 00:03:28.717
<v Speaker 1>It is very coded.

00:03:28.717 --> 00:03:38.665
<v Speaker 1>You meet friends who are hiding things, who might lead in the wrong direction, even the business sector, and you need revelation on your daily life.

00:03:38.665 --> 00:03:44.354
<v Speaker 1>Daniel was helped to unlock the mysteries by the Spirit of God.

00:03:45.155 --> 00:03:54.586
<v Speaker 1>1 Corinthians, 2, verse 9 and 10 says what no eye has seen, no ear heard, no, the heart of man conceived, god has revealed to those who love him.

00:03:54.586 --> 00:04:00.075
<v Speaker 1>But finally, spirit led excellence qualifies Daniel for leadership.

00:04:00.075 --> 00:04:03.498
<v Speaker 1>God's spirit makes you a leader.

00:04:03.498 --> 00:04:10.526
<v Speaker 1>You know, zechariah 4, verse 6 says it's not by power nor by might that you make it, but by God's spirit.

00:04:10.526 --> 00:04:16.014
<v Speaker 1>Daniel offers excellent leadership because of God's spirit.

00:04:16.014 --> 00:04:17.735
<v Speaker 1>So what have I said today?

00:04:17.735 --> 00:04:22.838
<v Speaker 1>The Spirit led excellence will bring you before kings.

00:04:22.838 --> 00:04:33.226
<v Speaker 1>Spirit led excellence will help you unlock mysteries and Spirit led excellence will qualify you for leadership.

00:04:33.226 --> 00:04:48.007
<v Speaker 1>And I pray today you'll submit to the Holy Spirit and cause you to rise like Daniel rose in a foreign land, you know, in the diaspora, and he became third in rank in Babylon.

00:04:48.007 --> 00:04:53.951
<v Speaker 1>Simply because of the Holy Spirit, I want to say you have a future, you can rise, you can succeed.

00:04:53.951 --> 00:04:59.495
<v Speaker 1>A rise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

00:04:59.495 --> 00:05:02.776
<v Speaker 1>You are blessed in Jesus name.
