EXCELLENT SPIRIT

OLATUNJI EZEKIEL.O

The same spirit that was in Daniel that made the king say that he has an excellent spirit is in you as a believer, the Holy Spirit, the bible talked about our Lord Jesus Christ in Isaiah 11:2 

“And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; “

The spirit of the Lord manifested those things in Him, wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord; that is why the verse started with “and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him”, they were not different spirits but the same Spirit, the Holy Spirit in you. Praying for an excellent Spirit is not it, you are not trying to make the Spirit in you excellent, but you want to manifest excellence in your academics, the prayer should be directed towards allowing the work of the Holy Spirit (excellent Spirit) in you, not praying for the Holy Spirit to become excellent. Glory! So, you go into any examination hall with this mindset that you have an excellent Spirit in you, OK?

Secondly, what differentiates some students from others is not because they are geniuses, it’s because they are smart. Few days to the exam or paper is not the time to be reading per say (the hard work should have been done), it’s the time for you to arrange what you want to write down logically in your brain/memory. It is the time for you to tag those things (possible questions that will come out) you want to remember with things or people you are already used to e.g. Belgium to Bell in church, acronymizing lists of things and so on. 

Also, when unbelievers say things like “it’s too complex” about a course, you saying the same thing makes you no different from them, you should actually take interest in those kinds of things, because an excellent Spirit dwells in you. Activate those manifestations from the Spirit in you, pray and read it again, you will understand because you actually have the Spirit of understanding in you Isaiah 11:2.

Lastly, it pains me to the heart that the knowledge we claim to have is actually not knowledge, many of us see having directions from God as a license to be lazy, many of us wait till exam or continue praying that the Holy Spirit should reveal questions to us, see, you are deceiving yourself if you have not been reading deliberately. Yes! It works, the Holy Spirit reveals and tells you to read this part, but not because you were lazy, this is why some unbelievers do better in some fields than even first class believers. Why? It’s because they know something about every part of their course, they read all and pick little things all round, but we only pick those things we have been directed to read.

Praying for direction concerning what to read should be utilized during exams, having done or read all, I now say Lord, which of these will come out, that is the proper way. Also, do not wait for confusion to set in during or after your exams, do not wait after the exam to allow the so-called geniuses to prove to you that you were wrong, do not try to calculate your score by what you have answered and the marks tagged to them, these things are what the devil uses to limit you. Dare to profess that you are right, it might be funny, convince yourself that you have written the right thing and you will definitely see the right results.

Thanks for reading, 

God bless.
