Memorise: Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night
vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel 2:19
Read: Daniel 2:1-19 (KJV)
1 And
in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed
dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2 Then the king
commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and
the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before
the king.
3 And the king said
unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Then spake the
Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the
dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
5 The king answered and
said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known
unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces,
and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6 But if ye shew the
dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards
and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
7 They answered again
and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the
interpretation of it.
8 The king answered and
said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing
is gone from me.
9 But if ye will not
make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have
prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed:
therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the
interpretation thereof.
10 The Chaldeans
answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can
shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked
such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 And it is a rare
thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before
the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 For this cause the
king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of
Babylon.
13 And the decree went
forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows
to be slain.
14 Then Daniel answered
with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was
gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 He answered and said
to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then
Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Then Daniel went in,
and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the
king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to
his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions:
18 That they would
desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his
fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret
revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Message:-
In
today’s Bible reading, King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream he couldn’t remember let
alone interpret. So, he sought help from the wise men in his kingdom and set a
death penalty for any who failed among them (Daniel 2:1-19)

When
Daniel heard about the decree of the king, he wondered why he was so hasty to
destroy the ‘think-tank’ of the land. Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy…” All the hasty plans of the devil concerning
you and yours shall be destroyed today by divine intervention in the mighty
name of Jesus.
Daniel
and his companions were faced with an insurmountable challenge humanly speaking
but Daniel got a vision that resolved the predicament (Daniel 2:19). All we
need to avert a looming disaster is a vision from God. Prevention is so much
better than cure.

How
do we become visionary children of God?
“That they would desire mercies of God
of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish
with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.”
Daniel 2:18
If we
must get the vision like Daniel and his friends, we must pay the price of
waiting upon the Lord according to His promise.

The king depended on the magicians,and the astrologers to tell him his dream and the interpretations which they couldn't, they even confessed to him that only God could do that,imagine they recognize God as the all powerful and all knowing hallelujah and at the end of the day God revealed it to his servant Daniel in a night vision.
