Memory Verse: And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
Excellence is not limited to a gender because God has made us capable of excelling. God has equipped us to excel; our talents, the Word of God in our hearts, and even the different parts of our bodies are given to us to excel. Your hands, your ability to think, reason and design are offered to you by God to excel, and all these are activated and expressed by the Holy Spirit, God's seal of excellence in our lives. Therefore, anyone who has accepted Jesus as his/her Lord and Saviour is equipped by the Holy Spirit to live a holy and excellent life.
God is excellent, and we are exceptional because we are His children, and He lives in us. God's excellent Spirit has been given to us so that we can excel in all we do. Therefore, anyone who wants to be excellent must have the Spirit of God in him and work to cultivate an intimate relationship with Him.
Also, every child of God is excellent in their own way. that someone is excelling in his way does not stop you from excelling in your track. We are all God's ideas manifested in different forms; women are God's ideas manifested in female form, and men are God's ideas manifested in male form. We are, therefore, all God's idea, created and designed for different purposes. It is thus impossible to excel outside of the will of God for your life. You might be comfortable and doing well, but if you are not walking in God's will and purpose for your life, you are not excelling. It is necessary to find your purpose. Why has God placed you on this earth? Why were you born into the family you belong to? What does God want you to do for Him in your immediate environment? All these and many more are questions you must lift to God in prayer and patiently wait for a reply.
Finally, you must never fear the task ahead of you if you want to excel. Excellent men and women are not cowards or quitters. You must learn to draw strength for the task ahead, and the best source of strength is the One who sent you on errand—God. Paul says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). There is more than enough grace to carry you through your journey; all you have to do is ask.
Prayer/Action
* Thank God for causing you to excel in life by His Spirit.
* Pray that the grace to excel and to be excellent will be activated in your life.
