Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
Daniel 10 v 12

From the first day that Daniel committed his life to the Lord, his prayers were heard by the Lord. He had set his heart to understand and to repent on behalf of his people, Israel before God. The Lord sent his messengers, the angel to Daniel to strengthen him and to give him help to interpret the signs and times. It was revealed to Daniel that a prince of Greece, Alexander the Great would rise to conquer Persia and a large part of the then known world. These revelations were given to Daniel centuries before Alexander the Great was born. Alexander and the Greek empire represented the kingdom of bronze in the magnificent statue of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Alexander, Nebuchadnezzar and their like were natural leaders who revelled in physical power but we are called to be supernatural leaders like Daniel, Moses and Jesus. We become conducting rods for God’s miraculous power to flow through us. Both Alexander and Jesus died at the same age: thirty three but Alexander’s glory and greatness faded with time while Jesus’ greatness, territory and glory are expanding.
We as watchmen of the Lord need to humble ourselves and set our hearts to understand and discern God’s will for our lives in the times we live in. Our humility is not the modesty we put on show before other people but it is the attitude of humility before God. It is knowing that though we are the worst of sinners, God can use us. We make ourselves attractive to the Lord when we are steadfast in seeking His will, word and wisdom. He will move heaven and earth on our behalf as He did for Daniel. He will hear our petitions and bless us. An answer to our prayers is like a kiss from the Lord on our lips. It is an affirmation that the Lord esteems us as He esteemed Daniel. Prayer is like a stairway to heaven while praise and worship is an elevator. The Lord will reveal many things to us as He did to Daniel. We will excel in divine knowledge of the extent of love of the Lord for us, of the extent of His mercy and goodness as well as the awesomeness of His power.

God will send His angelic messengers to us. He will touch us and strengthen us. He will speak a word to remove all fear and to encourage us. He will make known the outline of the future. Even while we are praying, He will answer us. Alexander the Great proved the vanity of conquests, the vanity of power, the vanity of fame and greatness, the vanity of wealth and territory. Jesus is the cornerstone that is not cut with human hands on account of His immaculate birth. He is the cornerstone that makes each of us greater than an Alexander for we are more than conquerors. This cornerstone shall fill all nations. Unlike the third horn that stood for Alexander and could be cut off, we will increase in power, grace and influence as we continue to fellowship with the Spirit, dwell on His Word and seek to understand and to do His will.
