EXCELLENCE—OUR KINGDOM CULTURE

DECEMBER 17, 2025

Then this Daniel was preferred above

the presidents and princes, because an

excellent spirit was in him... (Daniel 6:3).

In the Kingdom of God, excellence is our culture. We

don’t strive for excellence; we do excellent things.

Excellence is the nature of the Father, and because we’re

born of Him, we express that same nature in everything we

do. Excellence distinguishes you; it positions you above

mediocrity and gives you the advantage that skills alone

can’t give you.

Daniel's elevation above his peers wasn't based on

mere skills, politics or connections; it was the spirit of

excellence in him: “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” (Daniel 6:3). That same spirit

is in you because the Holy Spirit lives in you.

Excellence is about character, consistency, and

distinction in your work and attitude. God didn’t call you

to be average; He anointed you to shine, to show forth

His glory: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal

priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye

should shew forth the praises of him who hath called

you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter

2:9).

2 Peter 1:3 says, “According as his divine power

hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life

and godliness, through the knowledge of him that

hath called us to glory and virtue.” You were called to

glory and virtue; virtue means excellence. So, whether

in ministry, business, academics, or in your daily life;

manifest excellence. Let it reflect in your vision, speech,

appearance, the way you execute tasks, and in your

punctuality.

Manifest precision, diligence, and distinction. Don’t

excuse mediocrity. Excel. Give your best, not because men

are watching, but because you represent the Kingdom.

You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and

excellence is part of righteousness. Every task is an

opportunity to express that divine excellence. Therefore,

be detailed, diligent, dependable, and exceptional.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the spirit of excellence working

in me by the Holy Ghost. I function in precision, diligence,

and distinction. I represent your Kingdom accurately

and gloriously. My life and work are expressions of your

excellence. I refuse to settle for average, for greater is

He that is in me than he that's in the world. Amen.
