Be Excellent.

“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.” Daniel 6:3(KJV)

I will like to challenge you today to make up your mind to be exceptional. Rockerfeller said, “Excellence is doing common things uncommonly.” Do what you do in a way that no one has ever done it before.

You can never go beyond where you are right now until you desire it in your heart, because we rise to the level of our expectation of ourselves. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” The word ‘think’ also means ‘to expect’. So what you expect of yourself is what you will become. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:18, “…thine expectation shall not be cut off.” Think excellent thoughts concerning what you do because that is what you will certainly produce.

Work at excellence and refuse mediocrity. Remember Christianity is not a hide out for mediocres, our Father God is an excellent God. This is obvious from the things He created. Everything He has created and everything He does is in order, because excellence is a product of order. Order is the accurate arrangement of things in its place.

You will not have order in your life until you have priorities. What are your priorities? Your priorities are the things you value and what's most important to you. What are the things that you can invest your life in today that tomorrow you would not regret that you invested your time in. Schedule your life around those priorities. When you build your life around such priorities you will have order, and when you have order, you will have excellence.

Planning will also help to amplify your excellence. Therefore I encourage you to have a plan for your life. Have a plan for your day and whatever you do. It has been said that to fail to plan is to plan to fail. Remember that the future belongs to those who prepare for it. Are you preparing for your future? I encourage you to prepare for a greater future ahead of you by investing in yourself and before long your will inspire the world. God bless you.
