DAY 123: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT
”Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.”
Daniel 5:12 NKJV
There is a spirit called an Excellent Spirit. It is beyond the discipline of being good at what you do. Or an extraordinary skill. No amount of degree or experience can unlock it. It comes upon a man who holds God above all else. And we know that whatever is of the Spirit supersedes the regular. An excellent spirit is incomparable and differentiates you from other excellent people.
Joseph had an excellent spirit yet he still had knowledge, understanding, and all the skills that he was supposed to have to execute his work. But that excellent spirit, though, that was the difference.
Friend, the way the world is going now, especially with the advent of AI and rare skills being readily available at the tap of a button, you’ll need something extra to land the gigs or roles you want to excel at what you do. In a pool of excellent people, what is your advantage?
An excellent spirit can make someone who was hired months ago to be promoted over people that had been there years. It happened to Joseph and Daniel. And it can be the same for you too.
Confession
I have an excellent spirit therefore I excel in the things I do. Whatever I touch is pure perfection. I am set apart from my peers, distinguished, favored, trusted, and promoted and I enter rooms that I’d not normally enter. In Jesus’ name. Amen
”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.“ –Daniel 6:3 NKJV
