Every human want to be outstanding in life. Someone
prayed a prayer recently that, “Where others are standing, you will stand out,
where there are many people standing out, you will be outstanding, and when
there are many outstanding people, you will become the standard.” Overall, it
is all about being the best in life. Isn’t that God’s plan for us as well? Matt
5:14 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid.”
However, no man can be outstanding without having
excellent understanding. And most times, to have that understanding needed to
be outstanding, you have to be obedient, because instructions precede
promotion. Deut 28:1 says, “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken
diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee
on high above all nations of the earth.”
When talking about men who lived outstanding lives
while here on earth, we would make mention of Daniel. Dan 1:17b says, “Daniel
had understanding in all visions and dreams.” It was so much that when he
finished interpreting Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the king worshiped him. Bible
says Daniel was ten times better than all the other astrologers and magicians. Wonder
where he got the understanding from? God gave him. Dan 2:22 says, “He revealeth
the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light
dwelleth with him.”
The difference between an average and an excellent student,
is what they know. Until you know better, you cannot be known better, which is
why I urge you to go to Jehovah and ask for this kind of understanding that
stands out. Dan 1:17 says God gave Daniel the understanding he possessed, and
Jesus said, “Ask, and you shall receive.” May you from henceforth be referred
to as “Man/Woman of angelic understanding.”
Keep shining!
