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.
