SPIRIT OF
UNDERSTANDING
Daniel
5:1-11
Devotional:- “There is a
man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of
your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods,
were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father-your father the
king-made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers” (V. 11) NKJV
The human level of
exploits in life depends largely on their level of understanding. The depth of
your understanding determines the size of your light in life. Understanding is
what makes people outstanding. If you can't dig deep, you can’t grow tall. It
is as you can take root downward, that you can bear fruits upward. Failure is
mostly a result of a lack of understanding (Hosea 4:6). People of understanding
are of peaceful progress. Since they can dig deep to know the right thing in
life they can keep flying.
So many men of God,
both in the Old and the New Testaments operate at the excellent level of
understanding. They were able to comprehend what natural men would not know.
That is why they did what natural men could not do. It was said about Daniel
that he understands all kinds of matters. But if you look carefully, you will
observe that it was because he had the Holy Spirit (Daniel 5:11). He dwells
only in a few that God wanted to use in those days. But in our days, God has
poured His Spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28-29).
You and I can enjoy
the operation of the Holy Spirit for greater understanding. Nothing is ever to
bring us into confusion. Nothing should be difficult for us. Everyone in your
office may not know nor understand a matter but you should understand for your
outstanding life. To enjoy the best of the Spirit of understanding by the Holy
Spirit, you must always fellowship with God in worship and His word. Take time
to always be in His presence. His word gives understanding to the simple
(Psalms 119:130). When you are a good student of the bible and always meditate
on it, you will flow in the spirit of understanding. This is because the word
and spirit are one (John 6:63) They stir up one another. From now on you will
understand your way to rise. I know that you are set for an outstanding wisdom
above your equal in Jesus name.
PRAYER: LORD,
LET THE WORLD KNOW ME FOR DEEP UNDERSTANDING.
“A PERSON
WITH THE LIFE OF GOD IS A PERSON WITH DEEP UNDERSTANDING”
