Decide to live by uncompromising faith that makes no room for the flesh. 4. Live a life of honor before God. Be totally honest with Him always. Don’t get into condemnation, but don’t dodge His questions, make excuses and try to cover stuff up. If I’d been honest with God and hadn’t made excuses for not exercising all those years, I could have dodged a lot of pain and trouble in my body. That’s what God was trying to help me do, but I was too dumb to realize it. So, learn from my mistake. Don’t wait until you’re over 80 years old to tell God the truth about that thing He’s been dealing with you about. Don’t keep kicking it down the road year after year. Stop lying to Him about it and let Him straighten you out. While you’re at it, be honest with other people, as well. Don’t lie about anything. Don’t make excuses. Treat people with honor and tell them the truth. 5. Determine to excel more in every aspect of your life. Commit to increase in excellence spiritually, to improve the quality of your soul (which includes your mind, will, emotions) and the condition of your body. Seek The LORD about how to improve your marriage. (No matter how good your marriage may be, you can always find ways to have more fun together.) And aim for greater excellence where your business, your prosperity and your assets are concerned. Granted, improving those areas will require some investment. It will take prayer, effort, money and time. The changes I’ve made in my body required me to invest in all those things. But the dividends were well worth the cost. They haven’t just affected me physically, they’ve increased the excellence of the anointing on my ministry and my life. This is what we’re after! We’re pressing toward the prize of that anointing. We’re not just being picky or perfectionistic. We’re in training, learning how to activate and release the excellent glory that’s on the inside of us. The time has come for that glory to manifest as never before. So, let’s get our act together and tighten up the ship. Let’s let the world see in us, what the king of Babylon saw in Daniel—the excellent Spirit of God! V 8 : BVOV
