I believe we have all been doing greatly.
The Spirit of God will launch you into doing bigger and greater things for the Kingdom. Hallelujah!
Turn to the book of Daniel, Chapter 5 verse 12
Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and He will shew the interpretation.
Excellence is doing the right thing the first time.
If you get involved in anything it comes out perfectly well because of the Spirit excellence in you.
Look at Daniel from the scripture above, he had an excellent spirit. All he did came out excellently.
Daniel 6 verse 3 says,
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
How do you do your work? Do you put in the ability and wisdom of the Spirit or you want to just get it done and do it they way others have done it.
Don't always do things the way others have done it, you have creative abilities in you, do new things, it will make and keep you outstanding.
God didn’t put those abilities in you to be left dormant.
Turn to 2 Chronicles 2 verse 7
Here Solomon wanted to build God’s house and needed someone for the work.
He said,
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
Move to verse 13 and 14
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
Hallelujah. All these abilities in one man? Glory to God!
Let's look at Solomon.
Turn to 1 Kings 4 from verse 29 to 34
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
For He was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
And He spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
And He spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: He spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
With these abilities, there is no reason for you not to excel, no reason not to produce excellence in all that you do.
These men didn't have the Holy Ghost but you do. Do you know you can produce much more than they did in their life time? You can! The Holy Spirit came with the Spirit of excellence when He came to live in you.
Don't search for excellence in books, or videos from those who do not have the Holy Ghost. Excellence through the world's ways or methods is short-lived. Only the Holy Spirit can help you produce that excellence that can stand any where.
He gives you the ability to see what others don't. You just know where to get it from and it may not be a new source, they have been using it all the time, now because it's you, it works. Hallelujah!
Be the best at what you do.
In your office, come early. Don’t be a late comer. If the place is dirty, tidy it up. Get the whole place prepared for work. You are setting up yourself for promotion that way. These things give you authority in that place. Hallelujah!
Live like one who is born again. Live like a Christian! You have the Holy Ghost. He is your inside teacher, your inside informant. He will teach you all things. He will prepare you ahead, for victory. He knows what’s coming, so He'll get you ready.
Take advantage of His presence and those abilities to do things right the first time, that He has put in you.
Don't live in this world as a mediocre. You came to bless the world with the wonderful abilities in you. This is how to be a success, you make a place better than you met it.
You came to make the world better than you met it. So anywhere you find yourself, make that place better than you met it. It would keep spreading until it gets to the whole earth. You can see now, your value to this world.
The Bible says, you are the salt of the earth, meaning without you, the earth has no flavour, the earth cannot be sweet without you.
So you keep this world bubbling and exciting.
If you are not involved in anything, start something so you can bless others with it. God has blessed the works of your hands. Go ahead and produce something excellent and unique. Let the world know that you came.
This also should be seen in your work in the Kingdom, your work in the house of God. Whatever area you are functioning in God’s house, produce excellence in it. Keep your results outstanding.
When you come for meetings, come early. If the chairs are not arranged, arrange them and get prepared for the meeting. Praise God!
These things put and keep you on top. Glory to God!
Go ahead now, make declarations concerning yourself, your work both in the Kingdom and your place of work, make declarations concerning all that pertains to you. The Spirit of excellence is at work in you. Hallelujah!
Lift up those hands and worship God.
