If you believe in the gospel, you have the Holy Spirit living within you. And if you have the Holy Spirit in you, it means that you can express all the gifts of the Spirit. In this teaching, we are taught to earnestly desire these gifts, pray about being expressive of them and honouring the brethren enough to receive from them, as these gifts are for the edification of the church. We are to be ready to supply the needs of our brothers and sisters at all times.

There are 2 extremes of people: • People who believe everything in the world is natural • People who think everything in the world is supernatural. Both extremes aren't entirely correct because the supernatural can superimpose the natural beyond what the natural mind can explain. In this teaching, we are taught about the grace of God and how it can cause things to work in the direction of God's plan for your life. These graces can be made available to one by the spirit and can also be communicated by touch. For these supernatural graces to be seen you need to honour, stir up the hunger, prepare and believe.

Your hunger and receptiveness in any spiritual meeting is important. Even Cornelius who was an unbeliever was hungry for the word and an Angel was sent to send Peter to him. In preparation for a camp meeting, you have to come prepared with your expectations and ready to soak up all God has in store for you like a sponge. This Teaching gives us steps on how to prepare for camp meeting.

Ministry gifts are God’s gift to the church. They labour day and night to see that everything lacking in your life is supplied. This is why you must prepare adequately for special spiritual meetings organized for you. Honouring your ministry gift is one of the most important ways to prepare. Esteem them highly, appreciate them, and do not get too familiar with them, so you can receive all you need from them.

To live your life in the wisdom of God is the wisdom of the Old Testament. The book of Daniel gives accurate prophecies in line with history. It shows that wickedness would exist as there'll be a succession of evil kingdoms but this doesn't mean that God isn't good; regardless, God's kingdom will be established.

One of the themes of the Bible is the exile of man and God's ability to save them. The book of Daniel also shows this theme and gives the picture of a second Exodus. In this prophecy, we see God's plan to bring salvation to His people through the Messiah.

Neither exile, nor the law, nor judges, could save the children of IIsraelfrom their sin problem. Only salvation through Jesus Christ could solve the problem of sin entirely.

The Bible is a divine book but also a literary material. Each genre isn't read the same way. The apocalyptic literature should be read as visions and not necessarily as the real things happening. The book of Daniel maintains its common theme, that in spite of present troubles, God is in control and He would have us thrive and flourish. Though evil kingdoms will arise, we have hope that the divine kingdom will reign forever

Even in exile, Daniel showed integrity. He stood out as one with an excellent spirit because he honoured God. He stood firm even when others tried to find a charge against him with his God and gave God a chance to be glorified with his life.

In a situation where everyone is in opposition to your faith, do you compromise or do you take a stand? In a culture that pushes you to silence, can you speak up regardless? When standing for God, it won't always be easy; you might lose your possessions, job, family and even your life but trust in God's ability to save you and even if He doesn't, don't compromise.
