MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday 20th July 2025.

The Spirit of Excellence is the spirit of God personified. It is the spirit without error. It is also the spirit of perfection. The finished work of Christ has freely provided us with the spirit of excellence in its full measure. Apostle Peter in his second epistle prays for us that “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord”. The spirit of excellence is encompassed with all excellent virtues. Grace and peace included. He further emphasized that grace and peace will be multiplied to you just as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that had called us to glory and virtue: whereby they have given unto us exceeding grace and precious promises: that by these, ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in this world but also that we have been given great and precious promises to partake in God’s divine nature. What is God’s divine nature? It is the spirit of excellence. Thus, through the finished work of Christ, we are partakers of the excellent nature of God.

What do we mean by the word excellence? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, excellence is defined as “the state, quality, or condition of excelling; superiority.” So, the spirit of excellence is the spirit of distinction. It is all we need to conquer what conquers others. We also see from our memory verse, the life of Daniel, that he was preferred above the presidents and governors. Why? The Bible tells us that it is because an excellent spirit was in him. You do not need many doors, all you need is the right door and what opens the right door is the spirit of excellence. The spirit of excellence in Daniel made the king send for him and set him over the administration of his kingdom. You have the excellent spirit in you, if you are born again and have received the Holy Ghost. If not, receive Jesus into your life now and the spirit of excellence will come to live inside of you.
