Excellence is the possession of good quality in an unusual degree. As God’s ambassadors, we must represent him accurately. Excellence is doing things right. But before we consider how to do it right, lets ensure we are doing the right thing. Excellence in the wrong thing still spells failure. DEFINE YOUR ASSIGNMENT You cannot just be efficient for efficiency’s sake. We must also be effective. Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things. Defining your assignment is the starting point for you to achieve excellence. State clearly your vision in life or the vision of your organization. This defines the limit of the areas in which to achieve excellence as a person or organization. DEAL WITH OLD MINDSETS Some people say that you have to choose between quality and quantity. This is not true because the more quality you have, the more quantity you attract. The more you do things better, the more you will be patronized. There is another myth that says you

 THeme: RISE UP! CONDEMN EVIL TONGUES ANCHOR TEXT: “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, “declares the Lord” Isaiah 54:17. Where words reach, legs cannot possibly reach because words travel farther and faster than legs. Evil arrows are first shot by mouth, then by actions. Likewise, battles are first won by mouth before they are won by actions. It takes mouth to curse. It also takes mouth to bless. It takes mouth to encourage and also takes mouth to discourage. Today’s scripture says: ‘…every tongue that shall rise against you in judgement you shall condemn…’ But with what do you think God expects you to condemn those evil tongues mentioned in today’s anchor scripture? Of course, with your mouth! Words can hang up for years, waiting for fulfillment! Therefore, do not joke with them. For instance, the curse that Joshua released against

THEME: You Are The Answer Matthew 5:7-16  We are in a period in which peoples’ hopes and expectations are crashing day by day; many are approaching the brinks of desperation; but your case is different. Your focus should not be on what is happening around you, rather you should focus on God’s words that says ‘’when men are cast down, thou shalt say, There is a lifting up; and he shall save the humble person’’’ (job 22:29).  Everyone else around you maybe complaining that times are hard; but functioning in the Dominion Mandate will distinguish you and give you a different testimony. Catherine Pulsifer said ‘’we can turn our focus to looking for the positive in the problem, and, there is a positive to every problem. Sometimes you just have to stop and look for it.  Every problem encountered by mankind is an opportunity for those that will focus and discipline themselves to find the solutions to the problem. When such solutions are found, they engender enormous goodwill. Beyond thi

THEME: THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE MEMORISE: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. 1st Corinthians 12:8 READ: Daniel 6:1-3 1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; 2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. 3 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. MESSAGE: One of the gems that made Joshua take over the mantle of leadership from his master was the excellent spirit he carried. Joshua excelled in all matters than most of his age mates and contemporaries. Those who remain in the crowd cannot become excellent in life, because excellence is a private matter, but with a public pronouncement. The spirit of excellence will never permit
