The Most Excellent Way


(1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV) But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.


Excellence begins with the love of God. There are so many attributes to God but there is nothing to be compared with His love. Nothing defines God better than His love nature.

There are so many miracles of God that mankind has witnessed in different generations. However, there is a force behind all these miracles. This force is called 'Agape' in the Greek language.

Agape is known as the unconditional kind of love. It is love in its purest form. It is what motivates God to do miracles. It is a force that has never known failure. It makes things to work.

People that live by the system of this world cannot operate by this kind of love. It is a selfless love that separates the believers in Christ Jesus from the rest of the world.

Apostle Paul by the Spirit of God referred to the lifestyle built around the Agape love of God as an excellent way. It is the only way to excel in life.

Let the love of God flow out of you. This is how to close the door on the enemy and create the pathway of excellence.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 13






MY DAILY CONFESSION

I have the spirit of excellence. I am inspired by God for excellence in all my ways. I am blessed by God to excel above every limitation in this life. The empowerment to succeed, excel and prosper works in my life at all times.

I am in the image and likeness of an excellent God. I have what it takes to excel in life. I am committed to developing a strong image of excellence through the process of meditation.

I am resistant to mediocrity. I live a life that is above and beyond the average. My spirit is trained to resist mediocrity and my mind is conditioned for excellence.

I am in partnership with the Holy Spirit. I am strengthened by God to excel in life. There is a Spirit in me and the inspiration of the Almighty gives me understanding. I have the spirit of wisdom and revelation on me. I have the truth of God's Word revealed to me so that I can excel in life.

The blood of Jesus guarantees my excellence in life. In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ my future was secured. Every obstacle and hindrance has been taken out of the way.

I have a divine purpose from God that brings me out of obscurity into prominence. I walk in my purpose in the spirit of excellence. I am anointed to excel at what God has called me to do in life.

Thats a pretty unfounded statement to be made. And history will prove that to be not only untrue, but almost reversed.

Christians don't know what love is. If they knew what love was, they would not have to resort to using fear, terror and guilt to convert people into their belief system and keep them in it.

o ok...people who call themselves christians are not necessarily the same as true believers in or followers of Christ. most, if not all true believers do not even know the full extent of God's love. we're constantly growing in that respect. but all that does not mean that that statement is not true. true believers live by the extent of the Love of God which they understand. and one of the simplest basic revelations is that it is contrary to the way of the world. but what you have as an explanation is a pretty flimsy one, No?

People who are Xtians are typically not followers of Christ because Christianity has almost nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus. If it did, it would not have needed to be spread by forced political domination, genocide, terror and lies. If people actually listened to the words of that great man, they would see that the Love of God is not monopolized to any one religion, and dwells in the hearts of every human being!
