KEYS TO SUCCESS (Academics).

1. Do not defile yourself.

✓ Refused to defiled yourself for any reason.

✓ Defile means to become impure.

✓ To defile something is an act of great disrespect toward God or others.

✓ Sin can defile a person in school and others.

✓ Anytime you find yourself stealing, smoking and drinking alcohol, fornicating, doing chokes and others. It means you're defiling yourself.

 2. Know Your God Very Well.

✓ Daniel truly know his God that is why he purpose it in his heart not to defile himself with the food that was dedicated to idols.

✓ He further added that those who know their God shall do exploit. Daniel 11:32.

✓ Divine success are for those who know their God.

3.  Pray and listen to God anytime you encounter challenges (Academics).

✓ Daniel prayed 3times a day (Dan. 6:10-28).

✓ Daniel prayed after receiving bad news.  When King Nebuchadnezzar issued an order to execute all of his royal advisers, Daniel and his friends prayed and received wisdom. 

✓ When King Darius signed an order that nobody could request anything from any god other than him, Daniel prayed.

4. Choose Your Word Carefully.

✓ After King Nebuchadnezzar issued a country-wide execution, Daniel “chose his words carefully” and requested more time from Arioch, the lead executioner. 

✓ He received wisdom after praying, and explained to the king that God could not only interpret his dream, but describe the dream to him.  As he described the dream and its interpretation, his words deeply impacted the king because they were true and accurate. 

✓ It impressed the king so much that Daniel and his friends were promoted to one of the highest places in government.

5. Always Speak The Truth Without Fear.

✓ Daniel live with a confidence to tell the truth in love without fear of the consequences.

✓ Daniel understand by books so you have no excuse by saying; "the lecturer doesn't come to class".
