EXCELLENCE - Acrostic Poem

The following acrostic poem was released to me by the Holy Spirit in response to a brother's discussion question on another blog network: "What is excellence?" 

Father God, I pray that the Spirit of excellence would overtake the Body of Christ in this hour as never before.  I pray that the Spirit of reverential fear of the God whom we serve would permeate every fiber of our beings, in such a way that the Light of God's glory and Spirit of excellence evidenced within and through us would cause men to glorify our Father which is in Heaven!  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Galatians 2:20 - "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."  (KJV)

 

Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."  (KJV)
