*Theme: Daniel And His Friends Had An Excellent Spirit*
*Text: Daniel 1:17-20*
_17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge, aptitude for learning, and wisdom. Daniel also could understand all kinds of visions and dreams._
_18 Then at the end of the training period that the king had established, the chief officer brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar._
_19 When the king spoke to them, none of them compared to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, or Azariah as they stood before the king._
_20 In every matter of wisdom or understanding that the king discussed with them, he found them ten times superior to all the astrologers and enchanters in his entire palace._
*Daniel And His Three Friends Had The Holy Spirit*
God has no limit dealing with His children. He can do anything to His children to protect His NAME. He would not allow His subjects to disrespect His NAME.
Therefore He gave special grace to His children, Daniel and his three friends. They were endowed with understanding and wisdom. Daniel could understand all kinds of visions and dreams. An excellent Spirit was in him and his three friends
"God gave" refers to the proclamation by the Holy Spirit that the three years of their training in all the sciences and arts of Babylonian learning did them no good whatsoever. It was the Lord who gave them what they needed.
God is still working to increase the knowledge of His children. Availability is always our problem. Because we compromise to occupy high offices. We compromise to get promoted. We compromise to get positions. We shed blood to get what we want.
It makes God's hands tight. God's ears become deaf to hear our cry and His eyes become blind to see our affliction. His hands suddenly become shortened to save. In that our tongues cannot praise God anymore because it has become corrupt.
No more holy hands, because they are corrupt. Due to our corrupt nature, our position as ambassadors is threatened. In principle we can't represent God anymore.
Daniel continued in office until the year of king Cyrus. He actually lived two or more years longer.
He witnessed the commencement and the ending of the seventy-year captivity. And not for once Daniel compromised in the land. He refused the culture of the people. The culture of the Babylonians was corrupt. They were idol worshippers.
Daniel refused to play along, the saying that "when you go to Rome do what the Romans do."
Daniel could not do what "... the Romans do" because his own culture was against it.
What is the culture of your new environment? Is it stealing, adultery, idol worship, fornication, lying, gossip, witchcraft, homosexuality, lesbianism, fighting, etc.
Your own culture is opposite to their own so stick to your own. Don't compromise in the name of getting passport, visa, papers, job, education, promotion, position, etc.
Your culture will lead you to Heaven and their culture will lead them to the Lake of Fire. Which one do you prefer?
