*YOU ARE A SOLUTION BEARER*
*BIBLE READING: GENESIS 41:13-40*
*“The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” Daniel 5:10-12(NKJV).*
In the beginning, the Lord created the heavens and the earth, and everything the Lord created was good and in harmony until Adam’s rebellion and things fell apart. Creation and creatures fell from glory, and darkness and disorder became the order of the day. Our basic scripture typifies a Kingdom in chaos and in dire need of solutions to a challenge which defied human knowledge. As a result, the king and cabinet members having exhausted all possible solutions but to no avail, were helpless and resorted to fate until a solution bearer was recommended in the cabinet by the queen- *“The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. Daniel 5:10(NKJV).*
Currently, the world is beleaguered by a pandemic that has affected every sphere of society defying established solutions. Just as it was in 2Kings 6 where the Axe that was borrowed drowned and Elisha, the prophet and solution provider was called upon and the Axe head floated supernaturally; the Lord placed gifts in men as solution bearers in every sphere of society. We are meant to discover, refine and deploy such gifts as solutions before kings- *“A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men. Proverbs 18:16(NKJV).*
As a kingdom representative with treasures in your earthen vessel; what have you done with your treasures? Those treasures are solutions to the problems mankind is faced with. It was in a time of despair that the unbeliever, queen mother recited Daniel's resume which we read in Daniel 5:10-12. When remedies to problems are sought, the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is an added advantage that should place you in a realm above others as someone having the panacea. The Holy Spirit helps us to access solutions from the heart of God. When we hone our gifts like Daniel, we can point people to our faith in God as the source of the solutions we provide.
Is your curriculum vitae anything like Daniel's above? (Selah). His refined gifts had been proven so they spoke for him even in his absence. Joseph manifested his gifts when he not only interpreted Pharoah’s dreams but received wisdom for execution (Genesis 41:33-35). Everyday such meetings are held in different quarters; what will be said about you who is filled with the same Holy Spirit? Are you someone with competence or a mediocre? The choice is yours not God’s, remember creation is eagerly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God and not their excuses. Pay the price in the place of discipline, prayer, trainings, gain knowledge and engage the Holy Spirit to birth solutions to problems.
*PRAYER
Father, I thank you for the gifts, treasures and true riches you have deposited in my earthen vessel. I receive Grace to harness and deploy them to solve problems and bring glory to You in Jesus Name, amen.
*CONFESSION
I have the mind of Christ, He has been made my Wisdom, therefore, I am a consultant to my generation.
