INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, February 13, 2026 Topic: THE POWER OF DISCOVERY (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it" - Genesis‬ ‭28:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Daniel‬ ‭9:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 2. ‭‭In the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. INSPIRATION: Everything that is of value is  concealed. It takes a diligent search to uncover them. From crude oil to mineral resources, etc, are all hidden from the surface. It takes exploration to discover them, especially, in commercial quantities. There're hidden treasures in God, same way there're hidden treasures in life and your field that you must discover. Proverbs 25: 2 tells us, "‭‭It  is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter." Your glory or honour won't come until you search out matters. Don't lead your life by accident. Be deliberately intentional about discovering your purposes and reasons for the events of your life. If you take everything at the surface level, you'd not know when you'd be slain at the depth. Life is deeper than meets the eyes. There're so many things you'll never know unless they're revealed by the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 2: 9 - 10). Get personal with the Holy Spirit. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: "...but God has revealed them by His Spirit" (1 Cor. 2: 10). You want to gain knowledge of deep things? Read this verse again in full and stay on it. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to access and maximise the things that are freely revealed. Teach me to value and prioritise the search for depths beyond the realms of ordinary dimensions, in Jesus name.
