“Star Performance”
Monday, October 7, 2024Key Verse
“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.” Daniel 1:20
Text — Daniel 1:15-20
Message
Christabel became the best student in the final examination in high school. She had A in all her subjects. She received lots of prizes at the graduation ceremony. Hers was a star performance. Star performance in your studies requires serious efforts and concentration. According to our key verse a man’s wisdom makes his face shine. If you are wise, your face will shine and you will not be afraid of anyone. There are examples of people in the Bible who had star performances in their chosen field, people like: Joseph, Samuel, David, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Esther and the Apostles.
You can become like these people and begin to excel if you come to the God of all knowledge and ask for wisdom that will take you to the top. This can only be possible if you surrender your life to Him and repent from all sins, then pray to God to lead you to the top.
