DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES FRIDAY 05 MARCH 2021
Topic: Called to Excellence
Today’s Scripture: “Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men.” Colossians chapter 3 verse 23, (AMP) AMPLIFIED BIBLE
Message: In today’s culture, there are a lot of people who have accepted mediocrity as the norm. They do as little as they can to get by, always looking for the easy way out. If the boss isn’t watching, they’re playing on the computer. They simply go to work to pick up a paycheck, then wonder why they’re not promoted and don’t see increase. It’s because God doesn’t bless mediocrity; He blesses excellence.
Whatever we do, we should do it to the best of our ability and set the standard. Remember, you are ultimately working for the Lord. He’s the one who put those talents and abilities in you. You are a steward of the gifts He’s given. Other people may show up late. They may complain. They may cut corners. But don’t sink down to their level—you are working for Almighty God. You are called to excellence! I encourage you today, stay determined. Stay focused. Whether you’re a waitress, a truck driver, an architect, a police officer, teacher in the classroom, nurse in the hospital or a CEO, do it to the best of your ability. God is the one who brings promotion. When you set the standard, He will raise you up and pour out His blessing all the days of your life.
Prayer for Today: Father, today I choose a path of excellence. I recognize that the work I do is for You. Keep me close to You by the power of the Holy Spirit and help me to rise up higher in every area of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: God owns you and everything about your life. David was a teenager when he put all his efforts into his career. As a shepherd boy, he pleased God in the bush where no one sees him. At the appointed time God rewarded David in a big way. Hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to you: “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. Hebrews 6:10-12 (NKJV). Grace to live your life on the immutability of these wonderful promises of God is released unto you. You shall reap the fruits of your labour and live in abundance in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
