Be a Problem Solver

Sunday 29 March
READ: Dan. 2:10-20
MORE LESSON: Matt. 5: 13-16

As a child of God, you are a carrier of the glory of God and so a problem solver, a solution giver. You should begin to see yourself as the answer to the problems of the people and the world around you. Cease to see yourself as a problem or the harbinger of problems, but rather as the solution that the world is waiting for.

Daniel went to the Babylonian kingdom as a slave but because of the light and the wisdom of God in his life, he began to solve the problems that the astrologers and wise men of the land couldn't solve. He came as a slave but he didn't bring problems to the kingdom, he brought solutions. No wonder he climbed to the very top position of influence in the same land where he came in as a captive. In Daniel Chapter 2, the king had a dream that troubled him which he forgot and needed someone that would tell him both the dream and its interpretation. That was a problem no one had a solution to. To make matters worse, he commanded that the wise men should be killed if they couldn't tell him his dream and its interpretation, as if they were responsible for his forgetting the dream. When this came to the attention of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, they knew that they carried on their inside God who has the solution to every problem. Therefore, that fact makes them the solution to the problems in the land.

Be a problem solver in your career and place of work. Glory carriers are problems solvers not trouble makers. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men: Matt 5: 13. When as the carrier of the glory of God you become a problem and have no value to add, you will lose relevance with men. You are the light of the world and your light will shine, in Jesus’ Name.

There is so much poverty, sickness, marital problems and unemployment in your community but do not join the people who complain and see themselves as being at the mercy of these problems. Believe God that you can be the solution to these problems, not just for yourself but also for everyone around you. Decide that by the reason of God's glory in your life, you will not contribute to the problems in the world but you will be the solution. Pray that God will make you the solution and not the problem in your family, church, community and nation. Shine the light!

Prayer/Action
* Pray that your light will shine everywhere you go.
* Pray that you will be a solution and not a problem wherever you are located.
* Ask God to give you all the needed resources (spiritual and physical) to be a blessing everywhere you go.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, as this month runs out, every dark stain on the horizon of my glory, I decree them cleansed out, in Jesus’ name.
