Title: Condition your Spirit for Excellence
Condition your Spirit for Excellence
It is important to listen to God’s voice for wisdom, knowledge and establish good relationships with others. Love for others, chastity, hardworking, pursuing justice and controlling of your tongue among others will position you for greatness.
Wise people give heed to the commands and meditate on the word of God. The foolish ignore Gods will and only realize it late in life. Use your time wisely and profitably, the bible says, “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;” (Proverbs 3:13). Condition you spirit for excellence.
The bible says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but unfortunately fools despise wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7). Invest your time and life in the word of God. The omniscient God (all knowing) will surely position you for excellence. Proverbs 1:5 says, “A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,”. The world and the universe were created by the word, John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Do not hesitate to ask for anything from your Father in Jesus Christ Name.
Proverbs 8:23-30 says “23 I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world. 27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep, 29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,” Worship is the first step wisdom (Proverbs 2:20). The fear of the Lord and intimacy with His presence brings pure wisdom and greater revelation (Jeremiah 33:3) and (Jeremiah 32:27). Seek to know wisdom, instruction and understanding. A man who has authority and is not under authority is dangerous (Proverbs 1:2-3).
Submission is not for the weak. Let good sense prevail, the most uncommon thing in the world is common sense. Common sense is not common (Proverbs 9). God want to give us His wisdom so that we can use it as guide for all life. This is the wisdom that created the heavens and the earth. It was there in the beginning. Avoid counsel of the ungodly and do not walk in the paths of sinners. Be humble and do not sit on the seat of the scornful (Proverbs 1). Meekness is strength under authority. Seek wisdom and understanding in all matters (Proverbs 4:7). Acknowledge God and he shall direct you in all thy paths. Ask God for directions and learn who you Heaven Father is, learn his attributes, his character and his heart and love towards you (Proverbs 3:6). Watch your steps. Even if you fail some things, know that every step that you take will mold character; therefore, step well (Proverbs 3:6).
Pride, murder, lying, deceit, mischief, betrayal will destroy your future, please do not blacklist your name with God and people. A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold (Proverbs 22:1). Avoid bad women they will destroy you and your future which God have entrusted you with (Proverbs 7). Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger (James 1:19). He who restrains his lips is wise, in the multitude of words sin is not lacking (Proverbs 10:19). Walk with integrity because He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known (Proverbs 10:9). The wise in heart will receive commands, but a prating fool will fall (Proverbs 10:8).
Do not forget this teaching and proverbs. Keep them in your heart for they will prolong your life for many years and will bring peace prosperity in your ways. Let love and faithfulness never leave, bind the in your neck. You will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man (Proverbs 3:1-4)
