Daniel 5:12The believer must be a person that excels in every area of life. Our standards of doing things must go beyond the standards of the world. Daniel was a young man who lived in the city of Babylon, and the Bible says about him in Daniel 5:12 that it was evident to all, that he had an Excellent Spirit. His attitude, his way of doing things, his demeanour was obvious to all and thus excelled far beyond anyone else in the kingdom, gaining the attention of the King and Queen. The word excel means: To throw beyond the usual mark, to surpass, to outdo, to do extremely well, to exceed etc.
I believe it is God’s will that the believer be a person that excels in whatever he or she puts their hands to do. I want to challenge you that this year you will excel in whatever you do, especially when it comes to the things of God, for the Bible says in Mathew 6:23 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the things you need shall be added unto you”. Excel in your church attendance, in your praise and worship, in your giving, in your study and knowledge of God’s word, excel in your faith, in the fruit of the Spirit, in your passion and desire for spiritual things etc. Those that are privileged to be serving God and the church in a certain ministry, strive to excel and to do the best you can for God, understanding that whatever we are called to do deserves our best attention, for it is to the glory of Jesus that we do it in the first place and He deserves the best of our time, talent, energy, attention etc.
Also may you this year excel in your daily life as a husband, wife and child. May you excel in your employment, that it may be notable that you have an excellent spirit and that whatever task you are given to do, it is done with a touch of excellence.
As we are in the beginning stages of the year 2012, it is wise to take an inventory of where we are spiritually and physically, we must come to the conclusion that this year we are going to do much better in every area of our lives than we did last year. We are going to excel and outdo ourselves for the Glory of God.
As a church let’s be encouraged to be a church of excellence that whatever we do, we may excel in it for the glory of God. That it may be evident to all those that will attend our church, that we pride ourselves in our service to Jesus and to people. Amen.
