The Alpha of the Window of our Souls

UV 3176/10000 The Alpha of the Window of our Souls
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel 6 v 3
Daniel was pre-eminent among the officials of the empire as the Holy Sprit, the spirit of God, the spirit of excellence was in him. He was endowed with spiritual wisdom and skills to see visions and to interpret dreams of kings. He was a man of high moral character, integrity, diligent, non corrupt and not negligent. He remained humble for he knew it was the anointing of the Spirit of God that imparted wisdom to him to take bold decisions, not to fear what the king could do to him but to revere only the Lord. Daniel prayed at set times opening the window of his room looking towards Jerusalem. Likewise, our window of prayer or communication with the Lord is the source of our power and victory. It is through this window , the Lord will pour His grace and blessings upon us.
The presence of the Lord with us will distinguish us from all mankind as it did Joseph from all his family, Moses from all Egyptians and all Jews. The Holy Spirit will invest us with His wisdom and understanding. We need to keep asking for more and more wisdom. We need to gain knowledge of this world and our professions by being diligent and industrious. Our faith will give us the courage not to fear what our bosses can do to us or what earthly rulers can do. Daniel prioritised, visualised and “prayerised” everything that he did. We need to visualise the kind of character we need to develop, the kind of skills and attitudes we should have, the kind of city, country and world we want. After visualising, we need to pray asking for grace and wisdom. We need to prioritise the things of God- the word, the Spirit of God, spiritual choices we make , in our lives over the things of this world.
The Lord will prefer us over the presidents, Prime Ministers and leaders of this world. He sets us as rulers of the spiritual world, the kingdom of God on earth. He invests us with spiritual power, authority and resources to live as co-ruler with Him. The window of our souls should always be open to the Lord. Governments talk of single window clearance for new proposals and plans. Our single window is Jesus. Any issue, problem, burden, plan or decision, we should submit it through this window.
