Speaker 1: Greetings and blessings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: He could not figure out what it was about.
Speaker 1: His wise men and chantas and everyone in the kingdom could not interpret.
Speaker 1: But finally they found this one guy called Daniel who could figure it out.
Speaker 1: And Daniel was able to figure it out because God's Spirit was in him.
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.
Speaker 1: And so the verses I'm reading are Daniel, chapter 5, verse 13, up to verse 16.
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?
Speaker 1: I have heard that the Spirit of the Gods is in you and that you have insight.
Speaker 1: Listen to this you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.
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.
Speaker 1: Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems.
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.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if it was you and you are given such an offer?
Speaker 1: But let me say three things that Spirit led excellence did for Daniel.
Speaker 1: And these three things, if you allow the Holy Spirit to function in your life, god's Spirit will do for you.
Speaker 1: Number one Spirit led excellence brings Daniel before the King In verse 13,.
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?
Speaker 1: Spirit led excellence, bring Daniel before the king.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: But number 2, spirit led excellence will help you unlock mysteries.
Speaker 1: This is what happened for Daniel.
Speaker 1: He was able to unlock mysteries and visions that others could not do.
Speaker 1: The spirit of excellence is the spirit of revelation, and so he will help you unlock mysteries.
Speaker 1: And today you know life is complicated.
Speaker 1: It is very coded.
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.
Speaker 1: Daniel was helped to unlock the mysteries by the Spirit of God.
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.
Speaker 1: But finally, spirit led excellence qualifies Daniel for leadership.
Speaker 1: God's spirit makes you a leader.
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.
Speaker 1: Daniel offers excellent leadership because of God's spirit.
Speaker 1: So what have I said today?
Speaker 1: The Spirit led excellence will bring you before kings.
Speaker 1: Spirit led excellence will help you unlock mysteries and Spirit led excellence will qualify you for leadership.
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.
Speaker 1: Simply because of the Holy Spirit, I want to say you have a future, you can rise, you can succeed.
Speaker 1: A rise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Speaker 1: You are blessed in Jesus name.
