DANIEL 2:6
 

However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.” [Daniel 2:6 NKJV]
 

But if you tell me my dream and its meaning, I will reward you. I will give you gifts and great honor. So tell me the dream, and tell me what it means.” [ICB]

If there are punishments for lack of knowledge, surely there are also benefits for show of knowledge. Gifts, Rewards and Great Honors or Awards, await those who show knowledge that has eternal value.
 

Why should you have lack of knowledge when you are under the Firmament that shows Knowledge. Even though the night is full of darkness, the night also shows knowledge. Darkness is better than lack of knowledge, and the Night loves darkness but shows knowledge even in darkness, which is why there are revelations, visions and dreams, of the Nights even in darkness. As it is written,
 

[Psalm 19:2 AMPC] — Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.

The same king that would destroy so many people for their lack of knowledge, was also going to give gifts, rewards and great honor to people for show of knowledge. Four things to extract from this:
 

*1* Knowledge saves or delivers from destruction: At that point, the only thing that could save or deliver those Chaldeans from the destruction decreed by Nebuchadnezzar the king was the Knowledge required of them, which included Showing Knowledge of the King's secret dream and showing knowledge of the secret meaning of the king's dream. If My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge, surely they shall be delivered or saved by show of knowledge. As it is written,
 

[Proverbs 11:9] — "An hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered."
 

The Just shall live by Faith, but the Just shall be delivered by Knowledge. It's the "Knowledge of the Truth" that sets you free. And the Lord who saved people wants them to come to that Knowledge of the Truth: here it is:
 

[1 Timothy 2:3-4] — "This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

*2* Knowledge earns gifts and precious things: If you have to choose between the Knowledge of God and Billions of Dollars (Gold and Silver), choose Knowledge or Instruction in the sight of God. As it is written,
 

[Proverbs 8:10-11] — "Receive My instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it."
 

[Proverbs 20:15] — "There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel."
 

But how is Knowledge of God more important than money or riches? Because it's through Knowledge that a house is filled with treasures, gifts and precious things, in Spiritual or in heaven where no earthly riches can stand. As it is written,
 

[Proverbs 24:3-5] — "By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure. A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength."

*3* Showing/Revealing Knowledge shall be rewarded: Those who are discovering, revealing, showing knowledge shall be rewarded because they are founders. There are revelations or knowledge, which if God Himself revealed them to you and you revealed them to a King as the first to show them forth; you become promoted to higher ranks or given spiritual authority because of two reasons:
 

*A* One, who Revealed that Knowledge to you (God Himself), and;
 

*B* Two, who you Revealed that Knowledge to (King, Priest or Authority).
 

I give three examples of men who got promoted by such: Joseph, Daniel, and Peter. Pharaoh said to Joseph, inasmuch as God Revealed this to you, there is no man wiser than you in the entire Egypt – Wisdom was rated by Knowledge and the Source from where that Knowledge was acquire. Same with Peter, for the Lord Jesus Christ said to him, "Blessed are you Simon, for it was not flesh and blood that Revealed this Knowledge to you but My Father (God) in heaven…" and therefore Simon was given the name "Peter" as reward and was given keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.

*4* Knowledge brings honor to those who show forth knowledge:
 

There shall be "Acknowledge" to those who showed "Knowledge:" there's no knowledge without acknowledge, which is honor. These things are real.
 

Wise men are not those heaping up riches or properties before they die; rather wise men heap up knowledge before they die. As it is written,
 

[Proverbs 10:14-15] — "Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty."
