*BE EXCELLENT*

_(Stand Out from the Crowd)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*Daniel 6:3*
_"Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm."_

*LET'S TALK*

Andrew's name was on the school's Board of Honour again, just like every other term. It didn't matter it was academics, sports, or leadership, everything he touched seemed to shine. His projects were always well executed, his team was always motivated, and his results were always outstanding. Students often wondered what his secret was. But Andrew didn't rely on *"luck"* or waiting for someone to push him. He simply recognised and expressed what was already within him; an excellent spirit.

Just like Daniel in the Bible, who *"had an excellent spirit"* prospered in all he did, God has placed that same Spirit of excellence inside you. As read in our opening verse, Daniel was described as one who dealt excellently in his affairs because *"an excellent spirit was in him."* Anointed men and women in the Old Testament had the Holy Spirit *"come upon them,"* but today, He lives in you! He's the Spirit of excellence; hence, it's His ministry to cause you to excel in everything you do. When you recognise this truth, walking in excellence will become a natural occurrence for you---you'll excel in every endeavour.

For young people, excellence means more than just getting good grades or winning games. It's showing up fully in everything you do, whether it's school, your hobbies, sports, online projects, helping others, or your involvement in the house of God. To excel means to go beyond the ordinary, to stand out from the crowd, and to live a mark wherever you are.

You don't have to pray to God to make you excel, for excellence is in you. All you need do is recognise it and express it. Choose to excel; make the conscious effort to improve your mind by studying the right materials. Become studious; don't loaf or laze around, for laziness isn't a quality of an excellent spirit; go the extra mile! Reject mediocrity and mundanity from your life.

*GO DEEPER*

*Proverbs 22:29* Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men.

*Colossians 3:23-24* And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; *24* Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

*PRAY*

_Dear Father, thank you for giving me an excellent spirit and for sending the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of excellence, to live in me and produce excellence in me. I'll excel in all my endeavours and do things right the first time because the Spirit of excellence is working in me mightily, in Jesus' Name. Amen._

*DAILY BIBLE READING*

*ONE YEAR*
1 Timothy 2:1-15; Isaiah 52-53

*TWO YEAR*
John 6:52-60; 2 Kings 6

*ACT*
In one task today---whether at work, school, or home---choose to go above and beyond what's expected. Do it with such excellence that people will notice something different about you.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
