You are known because the Spirit of God is upon you...!

Daniel 5:11-12 NKJV

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.”

Shalom!  Day #237. Do you know that people are able to see the difference in us who believe in Jesus as well as the non believers? Let's pray. Father,  we want people to see the difference in us so that they may know we as the believers of Christ are different than the world. Let Your glory shine through us. Let our attitude speaks of Your teachings. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

What does people see in you? Are they able to see the Living God in us or we are living a life that doesn't bear witness of the Lord? People are watching the way we live, the way we do things,  our attitude and so on as a believer and as a servants of God. We as a believer of Christ, are to bear witness of Christ in everything we do in every way we live. But sad to say, nowadays people one attitude in church and different attitude outside the church. In church they lift their hands and worship, outside the church they lift their hands in clubs and discotechs. With our own mouth we profess  to know Jesus Christ, with that same mouth we deny Him by the way we speak, live.

Here in this passage,  Daniel is well known not because of his might and power but because THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS UPON HIM! It's not because of our talents or the way we serve God that's labeled us as a follower of Christ, but it's the Spirit of God that's in us. People acknowledges it. Bearing the fruits of the Spirit that's visible to the eyes of people. When the Spirit of God is upon, you don't need people to lift you up, but God Himself will lift you up. Your legacy lives because God's Spirit is in you. His Spirit brings increase and not decrease. Are we bearing the fruits of His Spirit in our lives and through our lives? Live not as bearing the name of the religion, " oh I'm a Christian" but live truly as a follower of Christ! Amen! Is the Spirit of God alive in you? If yes, then live it fully for Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
