FOCUS: ANOINTING FOR EXCELLENCE AND EXPLOITS

TEXTS: Daniel 6:3; Psalms 23:5, 45:7;  92:10; Isaiah 11:1-2

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

Excellence’ in Biblical definition by its original Greek vision is ‘arete’ or in
English ‘virtue’, which denotes ‘whatever procures pre-eminent estimation
for a person or thing’. ‘Arete’ describes the excellence of God. It is developed through a process of meditation because it proceeds from the heart.

Excellence in life and ministry is non-negotiable for this is the will of God for His saints. The spirit of excellence is a spirit that gives you an edge over and above the others. The spirit of excellence upon Daniel made him preferred above the others because he had solution to the problem of the King.

A man that carries the spirit of excellence will surely have solution to the problem of the people and will dine with the kings, not mean men.

You need the Spirit of excellence in every area of your life because you are created with a purpose for ministry and mission so, you must excel both in life and ministry.

When God baptizes you with the spirit of excellence, you will become a blessing to people, everywhere you go, you will carry solution to meet the need of people. As God blessed Daniel with the spirit of excellence, let us ask the Lord in like manner to endow us with the spirit of excellence.

Paul encouraged the believers at Corinth to seek to excel in their operation of spiritual gifts, so that they may build the Church. This can only be done through the impartation of anointing.

Anointing is divine endowment upon an ordinary man that brings about supernatural performances. When the anointing of the Holy Spirit comes upon a man, it turns his weakness to divine strength and causes him to be master of situation and circumstances. God initially planned from the beginning that man should have dominion but as a result of his fall, he lost that grace and this can only be regained in Christ by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

You are created to have dominion in life both spiritually and physically. Whenever a situation or circumstance prevails against you, it implies you are being dominated and you must therefore ask for the help of God and anointing of the Holy Spirit for your liberation.

You are created a champion in destiny, you are not a failure. You must have the understanding that God has make a provision for all you need to have and all round dominion in your life, therefore, arise and enjoy the goodness of God by His anointing.
