When the Glory of God Surrounds You, There Is Excellence

There is something unmistakable that happens when the glory of God surrounds you—everything shifts. Mediocrity has to bow. Confusion has to flee. What once seemed impossible becomes divinely orchestrated. Why? Because the glory of God carries with it the standard and spirit of excellence.

The Nature of God's Glory

In Scripture, God's glory is not just radiant light or a feeling in the atmosphere. It is the tangible manifestation of His presence, power, and purity. When the glory shows up, Heaven's atmosphere enters Earth's reality! It's not a passive presence, it is active, weighty, and transformative.

Moses experienced this on Mount Sinai. The priests in the Temple couldn't even minister because of the overwhelming glory (2 Chronicles 5:14). When God's glory is present, His nature is revealed, and that includes His excellence.

Excellence Is Heaven's Culture

Excellence is not perfection; it's alignment. It's doing what you're called to do in the fullness of God's grace, timing, and power. In the Kingdom of God, excellence is the standard because everything God does is full of purpose, order, and beauty.

When the glory of God surrounds you, you begin to operate from a higher realm. You think with divine wisdom, act with divine strategy, and carry a presence that others can't quite explain—but they respect it. Heaven's excellence rests on you.

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life…” – 2 Peter 1:3

What Excellence Looks Like in Your Life

When God's glory surrounds you:

Your words carry weight and wisdom.
Your work reflects integrity and care.
Your leadership carries grace and boldness.
Your relationships are built on honor.
Your creativity is inspired by Heaven.

Excellence becomes the fruit of His presence, not something you strive for, but something you flow in.

Glory as a Covering, Not a Moment

God's glory isn't just for the pulpit, the church service, or the mountaintop experience. It's meant to rest on you in everyday life. When you carry His glory into your family, workplace, business, or ministry, you're releasing Kingdom excellence wherever you go.

This is what dominion looks like—not striving, but stewarding His presence with intentionality and grace.

My Final Thought: Dwell to Excel

To walk in true excellence, you must dwell in the glory. Worship, obedience, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit cultivate an atmosphere where His glory remains. And where His glory remains, excellence becomes inevitable. So don't settle for just doing things well—do them with glory on them. That's the Kingdom way.

PROPHETICALLY DECLARE WITH ME!

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for Your glory that surrounds me even now. I declare that I am not operating in my own strength, wisdom, or might, but by Your Spirit. Your glory is not just upon me; it is within me, and it flows through me.

Lord, let Your tangible glory rest on my life. Let it saturate my thoughts, speech, actions, and atmosphere. I break every agreement with mediocrity, disorder, and limitation. I declare that I have been marked for divine excellence because I carry the presence of the Living God.

I prophesy that excellence is arising in every area of my life:

In my purpose, I will not miss the mark.
In my calling, I will walk with clarity and power.
In my work, I will reflect Heaven's precision.
In my relationships, I will love with truth and honor.
In my leadership, I will move with humility and bold authority.

Holy Spirit, baptize me afresh with glory. Let the fire of Heaven refine every gift, sharpen every assignment, and illuminate every path. Where I have tolerated the average, I now embrace the standard of the Kingdom.

I declare:

The Spirit of excellence that was upon Daniel rests upon me.
The wisdom of Joseph flows through me.
The courage of Esther awakens in me.
The anointing of Jesus empowers me.

Father, let Your glory set the rhythm of my life. Let me live and move from the secret place, where glory is not a visitation but a habitation. I walk under an open Heaven, and everything connected to me must align with Your divine order and purpose.

SO LET IT BE SPOKEN, SO LET BE DONE, in Jesus name, Amen.

Cloaked in Glory, Walking in Excellence,

Apostle Allen K. Hunter
