“Scriptural Text: Daniel 6:3 (NKJV)
“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.”
Success is not by chance. When we look through God’s Word, we see several accounts of believers who received promotion from God, and how they achieved it. For instance, our opening text today speaks about Daniel, a man of distinct character. The Bible says he was of an excellent spirit. Little wonder he was distinguished from the other children of Judah.
When you live our life based on the values of God’s Word in such a way that others come to identify you with those values, you are automatically setting yourself up for a promotion. This is because even unbelievers recognize and admire such values. Nebuchadnezzar’s choice of Daniel as the Governor over his Kingdom reflects this truth.
Therefore, as you go about your business today, remember that what it means to live a good life is to live by the Word. It is to operate by an excellent spirit just like Daniel, which sets you up to experience favour even from the most unexpected of places. Halleluyah!

Values is noticed all even by Unbelievers. That struck me as written by Prophet. It comes to that man who have set himself up. So one can set himself up, promoted above others higher than when you set yourself up. With the right values as written in God’s Word I am preferred.Harrison,GpcWarri.
It’s the value that shows not what we say we are. Cause unbelievers, and newly converted look forward to seeing what we profess.
If there’s something very key to pick from today’s devotional, it is that success isn’t random; it’s a result of deliberate choices. In essence, it encourages us to be intentional in our actions, live by values, and cultivate an excellent spirit. By doing so, we position ourselves for success that transcends religious boundaries, creates positive impact, and attracts God’s blessings. Hallelujah!!!!-Accra Ghana
I look forward to studying the devotional daily.
To live a good life is to live by the Word.
This is just it. Thank you my Prophet
Hallelujah, a good life is living the word… If one can let the word mold his/her character, then surely success is sure… Just like Joshua, who mediated therein until he began to do all that was written, then he made his way successfully. I yield to today’s word🙌🙌🙌🙌… Thank you my prophet for giving us sound doctrines daily 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
😊
All I will ever need in this life to be successful has been made provision for by God. Therefore my cooperation and total adherence to his instruction puts me in the place of advantage for my benefit.
In today’s devotional, I have come to understand that even unbelievers admire this kind of life too.
Oh lord! Help me by your spirit to live an exemplary life and worthy of emulation.
Thank you Lord.

No wonder bible said that good name is better than riches… Living a good life is also means of evangelism, our lifestyle has what it takes to convert a soul. Remember when the disciples was spotted in Antioch, it was the character that they manifests that made people to confess that this ones are Christ like. I choose today to live a good life of Christ. Thank you my Prophet
Living a good life is living based on God’s standard just like the bible accounts the excellent life Daniel lived that placed him above his peers. Such life can not be achieved without integrity, diligence, respect for self and others and all the good values like love, the fruits of the spirit.
In achieving a good life is not all about money in as much its very important but living with the fear and love of God, without such one can be mislead by arrogance and it’s likes.
Father help me live a life that pleases you in Jesus name. Amen
When you imagine a good life, the first things on the top of your head may be a room full of friends, partying, traveling the world without any worry, and days packed with activities GPC LUTON 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The truth is that the people of the world knows good and evil when they see one. So living a good life cannot be hidden cos many people will see it and that will set you up for recommendations. The Bible says a good name is better than riches. So I choose to live a good life with a relationship with God in spirit and in truth! Glory to God!!!!

Oh hallelujah!!! Success doesn’t just happen, it is a result of consciously choosing to live a life of value and living a life that is pleasing unto God..When we live our life based on the values of God’s Word in such a way that others come to identify us with those values, we automatically set ourselves up for a promotion.

Living a good life is associated with a name,and that name is JESUS 🙏.
The opening scripture Daniel 6:3 (NKJV), says it all.👇“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.”
The reason Daniel was chosen is because he was associated with the WORD/ JESUS,then he had an excellent spirit.we can only be excellent when we have the Backing of the TRINITY🔥.

Because except that no matter how well one may be; there are other thousands of people operating in that the same level as you, it takes only operating in God’s standard kind of living to be distinguished among others.

Good character is a very important value that can attract favor in someone life
Living a good life is living a life different from how others live there life,Christlike life and character makes our life different from others.show the light the light of the Gospel by the good life of Christ we live.
That’s the example
To live a good and examplary life is considering Jesus in every moment, every situation, every conversation. When we become born again, we are His ambassadors. We carry His reputation to many other people.
In living a life that will glorify Jesus and access this life, we have to constantly declare that we are IN Christ and He is in us. Meditating in the Word and allowing It mold our lifestyles will bring us successes We must consider Him in all we do and say. What would Jesus say? What would Jesus do? how He lived His life is an example to us.
