who excel in some field of endeavor are seen as successful. In the Kingdom of God
               there is only one definition of success. It is knowing the will of the Father and doing
               it. This alone will elicit His praises.


               It follows, therefore, that the woman who desires to be successful in the Kingdom of
               God  must  know  what  the  will  of  the  Father  is  for  her.  Having  come  to  an
               understanding of the Father’s will she must then seek to be conformed to that will.
               As a woman, you can know for certain that the Father does have a specific desire and
               calling for your life.


               Yahweh had a specific purpose in mind when He created all of His works. Nothing
               was created without a design and predetermined purpose that was fully formed in
               the mind of God. Yahweh had a specific design for the angels, and there are different
               ranks of angels. Among the heavenly beings there are archangels, seraphim, and
               cherubim. There are also many fantastic heavenly creatures that we find described
               in the pages of scripture. Some have multiple heads and many wings. Some speak
               with a voice that causes the pillars of the temple in heaven to shake. Yahweh has a
               purpose for each being.


               Yet not all beings have been content with Yahweh’s purpose for them. In Ezekiel we
               find the description of a magnificent created being. Its description is breathtaking.


                       Ezekiel 28:12-18
                       "You had the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
                       You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your
                       covering: the ruby, the topaz and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx and
                       the jasper; the lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; and the gold,
                       the workmanship of your settings and sockets, was in you. On the day
                       that  you  were  created  they  were  prepared.  You  were  the  anointed
                       cherub  who  covers,  and  I  placed  you  there.  You  were  on  the  holy
                       mountain of God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You
                       were  blameless  in  your  ways  from  the  day  you  were  created  until
                       unrighteousness was found in you.”


               What an awesome being is described here! The seal upon this covering cherub was
               “perfection.” Think of what this means. There was no defect anywhere. All was
               excellent and holy and pure. There was nothing to mar the appearance in any way.
               One could search for a lifetime and never find anything amiss.


               Furthermore, this angelic being is described as “full of wisdom”. One translation
               renders this as “the sum of wisdom.” What marvelous breadth of mind the Father
               placed within. Not even Solomon was described in this way.
