FOCUS ON EXCELLENCE

📖Daniel 6:3 KJV

“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.”

As believers, we are called to strive for excellence in every aspect of our lives. In a world where mediocrity is often accepted, we are challenged to stand out, reflecting the impeccable nature of our Heavenly Father. If you must be successful, you must train your mind to think excellently. If you must be outstanding in business and other endeavors, you must be a person who exhibits excellence in everything you do.

An excellent person is one who reflects God’s character, consistently demonstrating integrity, skill, and a passion for continuous improvement. Just like we see in our opening text about Daniel, no error or fault was found in him and because of this, he was preferred above all and the king sought to make him ruler over the whole realm. This is what the spirit of excellence can do in your life. It can take you from obscurity to limelight just like that.

The level of excellence you embody determines your position in life, and your potential for advancement. Recognize this truth today and refuse to limit yourself. Never say “it’s impossible” – no matter how daunting the task or assignment may seem. Instead, think excellent thoughts, turn obstacles into opportunities, and defy the status quo. As you insist on excellence, God will elevate you to influential heights, causing you to sit among kings and queens. Say Amen to this!

START-UP PRAYER:

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask for the spirit of excellence to rest upon me today so that I may begin to think and act excellently in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR A NATION:

BARBADOS

The island is 95% Christian, with 61% being Protestant and 34% Anglican. Despite these high numbers, the Church in Barbados sees itself in the throes of spiritual decline, with church attendance decreasing and materialism increasing. In addition, denominational leaders and independent churches lack trust and unity. Acceptance and practice of the occult is growing, and immorality is becoming increasingly prevalent, even in the church. The nation’s youth are in a precarious position, facing many temptations from an increasingly immoral society.

PRAYER FOR THE NATION:

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray for every unsaved soul in this nation that they will come to know the Lord and experience his restoration power in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS:

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we ask that you will cause a mighty revival to take place amongst the leadership of this nation that many will begin to denounce their old ways and come to follow the Lord Jesus in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR ISREAL:

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray that even in the midst of the pressures, the people of Israel will choose to turn to You in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH:

Father, in the name of Jesus we ask that you put upon us the shield of faith so that we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR SOULS/REVIVAL:

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for every unsaved soul in our city and we ask that you remove the veils of deception and lies in their minds in Jesus Name.
