2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE:

There is a link between dominion and excellence. This is the reason we shall be discussing the spirit of excellence today so that our dominion may not only become a reality but that it may also be everlasting.

What is excellence? To understand what excellence is all about, we must appreciate the good. However, excellence is far better than very good not to talk of good, fairly good and fair.

As a matter of fact, the good level may not be good enough at another level. However, when we talk of excellence, it is hardly misunderstood.

What happens when the Spirit excellence envelopes an individual? To start with, the one with the Spirit of excellence knows no impossibility.

When the writing that spelt the judgment of Belshazzar could not be interpreted, the queen-mother advised that Daniel should be consulted.

Why? The Bible says: Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. – (Daniel 5:12)

Daniel was able to do the impossible because an excellent spirit was upon him. The Spirit of excellence makes the possessor see the invisible.

Joseph also possessed an excellent spirit and so, he saw the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine a long time before they happened (Genesis 41).

A person with an excellent spirit will understand what others around him may not understand as found in Daniel 7. Daniel was made to understand what the entire realm did not because he possessed the Spirit of excellence.

A man with the Spirit of excellence succeeds where others fail. Beloved, you need the Spirit of excellence to succeed in life and it can only be found in Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the excellent Spirit and His presence upon us gives us power to do exploits (Acts 1:8). Give your life wholly to Jesus Christ so He can fill you with the Spirit of excellence.

Father, please fill me afresh with Your Spirit of excellence, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 JANUARY 2022 HYMN:

JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL

1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
hear me, blest Savior, when I call;
hear me, and from thy dwelling place
pour down the riches of thy grace.

CHORUS
Refrain: Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more.

2. Jesus, too late I thee have sought;
how can I love thee as I ought?
And how extol thy matchless fame,
the glorious beauty of thy name?

3. Jesus, what didst thou find in me
that thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that thou hast brought,
so far exceeding hope or thought!

4. Jesus, of thee shall be my song;
to thee my heart and soul belong;
all that I have or am is thine,
and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.
