In life, there is always room to improve and become better in what you do! There is benefits for those who take this route ! Read on ...

1. You Can Become A Better You!-Part 1
In life, serious people or organizations strive for excellence Organiza-
tions that have set high standards and follow up to ensure that they are im-
plemented will have some leverage. Peace
of mind is guaranteed where High standards
are set and implemented. The Spirit of Medi-
ocrity is a great enemy to any business enter-
prise. There is provision for one to Improve
in whatever they do! Noah found favour in the
sight of God. He obeyed God and built the
ark that saved human race from the flood.
Most people, organizations or institutions rewards good character.
One’s character will determine whether that person will succeed or fail in
their aspirations. Personally, I have a deep conviction and desire in my
heart to become a better person every passing day through God’s power.

2. When Jesus appeared to John the Revela-
tor in His glorified body, He encouraged the
Seven Churches to come up higher in their op-
erations. It is the Church of Philadelphia that
was complimented by Jesus. They had kept
the Faith and walking in God’s Love. Others
had some issues. To the Church at Sardis, Je-
sus warned them saying: "Be watchful, and
strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die, for I have not found your
works perfect before God.” Rev. 3:2 (KJV).
Here, the LORD is encouraging us that it is possible to change and be-
come better people. His Life’s transforming Power has not changed. Je-
sus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever. Heb. 13:8

3. God admonishes us to come back to Him and reason together. He
says: Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD,
"Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are
willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you re-
fuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the
sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
Isa. 1:18-20. -NKJV
Queen Vashti lost her position as the Queen of
Persia. She refused to come at the king's command-
ment by his chamberlains. Esther 1:12. Esther was
sought to replace her as the Queen. Prior to her en-
try into the palace Esther had been raised by her un-
cle Mordecai who had impacted her life positively.
Queen Esther

4. Even during the selection process Esther was keen to hear Mordecai’s
advice and that is what propelled her into this position as Queen. She was
a woman of character! (Read the Book of Esther).
Following the death of her husband Ruth (a Moabite woman) clung to
her Mother in-law Naomi. We hear her say: "Entreat me not to leave
you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I
will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my
people, And your God, my God. Ruth 1:16.-NKJV. As you follow this
story you will realize that Ruth exhibited extra-ordinary qualities of a
good woman.

5. She loved people regardless
of their race, she was: teacha-
ble, available, caring, respectful,
obedient, courageous, hard-
working, faithful, ready to
change for the better and True
worshipper of the God of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob. I be-
lieve Ruth must have learned
these Godly values from her
mother in-law Naomi. Naomi
understood what was expected
from a Covenant person as Israelite woman. Ruth’s relationship with
Naomi is pretty telling.

6. Whenever you carry out an exercise or do
something over and over without losing focus you
master it. Companies like Toyota, Coco Cola,
Microsoft Corporation, Intel, Apple, Microsoft,
Google, Facebook, SAMSUNG, IBM, SA-
FARICOM and many others have become house-
hold names due to the high quality products and
services they offer to their customers. These com-
panies are not perfect but whenever there is an issue, they handle it with due
diligence. Even if it means re-calling already sold products that might have
any defect, they do not hastate. Recently Samsung recalled its latest smart
phone release Galaxy NOTE 7 product for having some problem with its bat-
tery. The culture of excellence should not be compromised. They seem
to ascribe to this truth: “A good name is to be chosen rather than great
riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.”- Pr 22:1 - NKJV.

7. Serving with excellence may not present immediate gratification but its
benefits surpass other benefits gotten through shortcuts by others. There
is Swahili saying: mvumilivu hula mbivu. It is similar to English say-
ing: Patience pays. There is time for
everything under the sun. Eccl. 3:1.
Whatever that is done in God’s tim-
ing is what carries the day. Delay is
not denial! Waiting on God provides
us with an opportunity to develop pa-
tience which is one of the fruits of the
Spirit of God. It took Abraham 86
years to have Ismael as son. It took
him almost 14 years to receive Isaac (the son of the Promise). The quality
of Isaac would not be matched. Those who wait on God with sincere
hearts and good attitudes receive quality blessings!

8. Before His ascension to heaven, Jesus commanded His disciples to
tarry in Jerusalem so as to be infused with the power of The Holy spirit.
They would not have carried out the mammoth task that was ahead of them
in their own strength. Evangelizing
the whole world was no mean busi-
ness. Dunamis Miracle working
power of God is exactly what the
disciples needed to accomplish this
task. They needed a Supernatural
Power working through them.
And being assembled togeth-
er with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you
have heard from Me.” Acts 1:4
