    About this ebook

    You will discover how to keep soaring with the Spirit of Excellence in this new book. One of the greatest and lasting compliments to a person came when the Bible said Daniel had ‘An Excellent Spirit’. He was a slave in Babylon from his youth, yet distinguished himself to become the highest government official spanning the reign of three kings: Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius. This book reveals secrets and timeless principles of how Daniel became a person of such high standard of excellence, even recognized by a heathen king. Like Daniel, we are well able, regardless of age, race or sex, since we have been called, equipped and empowered for a life of virtue and glory.

      The Spirit of Excellence - Emmanuel Socrates Quansah

      The Spirit of Excellence

      Emmanuel Socrates Quansah

      Smashwords Edition

      Copyright 2011 Emmanuel Socrates Quansah

      ISBN: 978-1-4660-2472-4

      All rights reserved. Excerpts may be quoted in reviews.

      All scriptural quotations are from New International Version

      Unless stated otherwise.

      Foreword: Bishop James K. Saah

      In his landmark book, Towards Excellence in Life and Ministry, Dr. David Oyedepo stated: a successful lifestyle is not measured by the quantity of accumulated possession, neither is it measured by popularity. He concluded that a successful lifestyle consists in the attainment of God’s goals and purposes for one’s life. It is said that great minds think alike, and therefore not surprising that Dr. Myles Munroe also shares Dr. Oyedepo’s frame of mind with a simple statement, the greatest threat to being all you could be is satisfaction with who you are. Every point elucidated by these two great men of God in the above quotations, are captured with insight and style by Emmanuel Socrates Quansah in this book, The Spirit of Excellence.

      As a Pastor of many years standing, I have followed the progression of several young people through the critical phases of life. Many hopes have been dashed because many young people fail to capture the strategic decisions and lifestyle that underpin success in life. I am particularly thrilled by chapter two which captures A Yearning Heart, and I pray the same spiritual fervor and zeal will engulf you as you read this book. The author has matured in the spiritual disciplines under the able tutelage of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, an acclaimed general of Strategic Spiritual Warfare. No wonder the Power of Prayer permeates this book.

      Do you yearn for success and excellence? Do you desire to shed off the cloak of evangelical sloppiness which seems to bedevil the church in many places? This is my counsel, read this book and remember, knowledge is of no value, unless it is applied. Unreservedly, I recommend this book, The Spirit of Excellence from a conviction that it would take you to the next level of your life. Amen!

      Rt. Rev. James K. Saah, Best Selling Author ‘The Finger of God’, Senior Bishop, Christian Action Faith Ministries International

      Reviews

      Emmanuel’s new book, The Spirit of Excellence, is masterpiece of an expository exegetical presentation intertwine and real life testimonies. In a simple but effective way he keeps the curious reader’s eyes fixed on the contents of book by unraveling spiritual truths on what it means to have the spirit of excellence and its inevitable results. If you desire to excel in your endeavor then this is your book.

      Rev. Emmanuel Agormeda (MS, Divinity), Royal House Chapel, Maryland, USA.

      Many in this generation have serious life nutritional deficiencies-doing just OK in some aspects of life and terribly lacking in others. I whole-heartedly prescribe ESQ's latest work to bring holistic healing to ALL aspects of one's life and produce excellence. Away with malnourishment! By the time you put this compelling read down, you should be so heavenly-minded that you are inspired and empowered to maximize your use on earth. Blessings as you ingest and digest ‘The Spirit of Excellence!’

      Dr. Yaw Perbi, Global CEO, HuD Group , 2006 Newmont Ghana Highest Achievement Award, Montreal, Canada

      If you want to be challenged in your Christian life then this book is for you. Great read. It will make you think about how you are living for God and will challenge you to pursue excellence. My personal life journey is a living testimony to the Spirit of excellence that we can all attain by emulating Daniel and keeping faith in Our Savior Jesus Christ.

      Sangu Delle, Harvard Business School , CEO & Founder, Golden Palm Investments, California, USA

      This book comes with an awakening of our God-given original value. God created us in excellence and we by all standards must deliver as such. Excellence determines your worth and thus puts a high price tag on you. As you read and conform to these hidden secrets of excellence, may your price tag change.

      Rev. Koffy Oko-Adjei, Action Chapel, Dansoman, CEO, Imagewright Company Ltd., Accra, Ghana

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams. You have taught us, not only what to pray but how to pray - perhaps our greatest asset. You have been persecuted but like Daniel, you pray, work and weather the storm, still soaring like the eagle. The Jews had Daniel; may our generation always have ‘An Apostle of Strategic Prayer’ like you. You always have the upper hand; this is what I call The Spirit of Excellence!

      About this book

      One of the greatest and lasting compliments to a person came when the Bible said the Daniel had ‘An Excellent Spirit’. He was a slave in Babylon from his youth, yet distinguished himself to become the highest government official spanning the reign of three kings: Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius.

      Preface

      Excellence is more than getting an ‘A' in chemistry or Physics or churning out quality product or music. It concerns living our entire lives far above the average of society in mind, soul, spirit and body. Excellence is the great ‘neutralizer’ of racism, tribalism, age, gender and in most cases, religion. It is the most attractive quality to have. It puts you on the pedestal of influence. In the Bible, it is excellence that caused Joseph to rise above his jealous brothers to become the prime minister in a foreign country. David, the shepherd boy, rose to become the greatest king of Israel because of excellence. Nehemiah, the king's cupbearer, built the walls of Jerusalem in a record 52 days and became the governor of Judah due to excellence. What do you call 'the thing' that also caused the Hebrew slave, Daniel, to become prime minister
