Dan.1:8 “But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king… 17 …And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams.”

About Character I
Ps.105:19 “Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.”
In yesterday’s devotional, we read Daniel 1:1-21. Today, we will go deeper in this study by asking seven questions. Your study of this portion of scripture will open up truths about courage to you.
Shortfall
Rom.3:22 “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
Businesses go through seasons and that is totally understandable. However, it is one thing not to have the money to pay salaries and it is another thing to withhold the salaries of your employees.
Special Ability VI
Acts 2:42 “… They took part in the fellowship, and sharing in fellowship meals and in praying together…” [TEV, with emphasis]
If you want God’s blessings in your life, you must be committed to loving other Christians deeply. Acts 2:42 “they were like family to each other” [CEV, with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability III
1 Cor.12:10 “He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern… Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret...”
To have a church, a family and to be a people that have God’s blessing that keeps intensifying in our lives, not only must we pray for power and use everybody’s language, we must Use Everybody’s Talent. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability I
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The number one way to get God’s power is prayer. Acts 1:14 “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer…” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Mount Zion
Ex.15: 13 “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home… 18 The Lord will reign forever and ever!”
In Psalm 77:4-14 [please read], we see how the story of the Psalmist changed drastically from despair to faith in one chapter. I pray that in this current chapter of your life, your story will change drastically. The key to the drastic change that the Psalmist experienced was focus; he changed his focus to God.

Hunger Rate
Ps.63:1 “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water” [NKJV]
The third thing that increases the rate of energy transfer is hunger. The rate of change of temperature in electricity is called the potential difference. Energy flows from high potential to low potential – potential difference. In other words, all power belongs to God and He is able to make it available to us. But the amount that flows to me is determined by how hungry I am. Read the rest of this entry
God’s Principles
1 Cor.3:6 “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” [KJV]
The Right Seed + the Right Soil + the Right Conditions = Abundant Harvest. I am teaching you a principle, a principle that has worked in my life. Again, let me emphasize that it is God that brings the increase so do not get what I am about to say next wrong. I can almost work this formula at will. When people do not know the ways of God, they will think the increase is by chance. When you know the ways of God you can reproduce it.
