17 As
for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all
learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and
dreams.18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should
bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before
Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king communed with them; and among them all
was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore
stood they before the king. 20 And in all matters of wisdom and
understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times
better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his
realm.21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel 1:17-21
When
God wants to exalt a man, he will bestow upon him the gift of
knowledge, learning, wisdom and understanding. Suffice it to say that
this kind of learning is not only in academics, but may relate to human
relations, business, diplomacy, leadership and all areas of human
endevour.
However, whatever gifts God has bestowed upon us, we have
an obligation to take action to improve ourselves in line with these
areas. That is why the scripture says;
'Study to show yourself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth'.
2 Tim 2: 15
Do you want to be
excellent in what you do? Do you want to be set apart for distinction
and not lumped together with the rest (just like the Hebrew children we
read about?) Then you have to keep on studying, keep on learning, keep
on acquiring knowledge. But there is a caveat! Learn from the right
source(s). Measure everything you learn with the scale of the word of
God, less you be deceived by the vain philosophy of men!
To your success,
Dr Okonoda.
