MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
The spirit of excellence in you is for problem solving. The Holy Ghost is the spirit of excellence personified. He is the mastermind behind the construction of the world because he was there when God was laying the foundation of the earth. It is the Holy Ghost, the spirit of excellence that hovered upon the face of the deep, according Genesis 1:2. It is the Holy Ghost, the spirit of excellence in Daniel, who interpreted the dreams for Nebuchadnezzar when he was baffled with a problem he did not understand. Every time the spirit of excellence comes into manifestation through Daniel, it is always geared towards solving a problem. This is an essential attribute to learn about Daniel. He is a problem solver and the spirit of God is ever ready to back him up with manifestations every time he sets out to act.
Previous Devotional
Jesus speaking in Luke also tells us about the purpose of the spirit of excellence which is the spirit of our God. He said “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19. Daniel was an administrator who was called upon to help in the administration of several kings. How did Daniel manifest the spirit of excellence? First, we see from the scriptures that Daniel maintained a life of fasting. He was determined not to defile himself with the king’s food or with the wine drank in the palace. When it was announced that no one should worship other gods but the king Darius alone, we see him do something extraordinary, Daniel in the scriptures flung his windows open and prayed three times daily. To manifest the spirit of excellence demands the sacrifice of denying self. The spirit of excellence is the spirit of greatness. It made Daniel great and brought him before kings. You can experience the same if you are ready to embrace the Holy Spirit and desist from anything that can tarnish your body, soul and spirit.
