Perfection in everything we do is still possible

1. LAUNCHING OF NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022
PRESENTATION OF ORIENTATION PROGRAM 27 OCTOBER 2021
THEME: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT
BY Dr Daniel EKONGWE RD PAID-WA
Thank God for our life
I couldn’t recognize him anymore. It took me great focus and undiluted attention
to recognize.
I was giving a testimony of my life to a congregation and someone said in the
crowd I saw you back in them days. I hope someone is here to know that
everything is possible when you put God in front of all things you do no matter
where you are night or day
When people that God is around miracles happen because Jesus has not change:
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever
I want to speak to somebody and you in particular about something
important…a marker or call it an index and factors to determine success: I want
to speak about ATTITUDE.
For those who are Christians I will advise you to read from Numbers 14:21 But
as truly as I live all the earth shall be filled with the Glory of God.
In the midst of all chaos, doubts and fears, God says someone saw what he did
with hope. I have seen many go to crusade and an anointed man of God lays his
hand on him and his condition does not change while others are healed instantly.
It is the attitude of the man to believe ….they didn’t come to be healed but to
see. Some of you students have come here today to see …..What you see may be
taken seriously or as a joke. But the great name of the Pan African Institute for
Development and its ways of doing things has been the same over the years and
its over sixty years now…how organizations in Africa have lived that long
Everybody may tell you how life is different now, how education doesn’t
guarantee success especially when you see the organization or student life in
places like state universities with the entire crowd. It is your attitude to
education that matters. You do not talk and do things the way others do, in your

2. path you see possibilities where others see chaos and challenges. Another spirit,
another kind of attitude is in you, and what is that spirit? It is the spirit
EXCELENCE. The spirit that says to my God is capable. This is about the
attitude of your language and it is your language that determines your character
and attitude at work or what you do. When people look at you some can descend
your character from your language..the language of a lazy man is always
complaint, excuses
I posted an invitation on our staff forum for purposes of encouraging staff to
suggest innovative, which is for staff to make proposals that will give us a path
to greatness. As I read the responses one stood out and it says; No amount of
poison can kill a positive thinker and no amount of medicine can cure a negative
thinker
That explains my attitude since I joined PAID on April 1st 2013…it’s been only
eight years but very long in deed.
My attitude when I joined PAIDWA has determined my altitude and you have
been told by the one who read out my profile with PAID International. I have
face d all sorts of opposition and challenge and opportunities and I have stayed
focus with an excellent spirit. I have stayed true to my work ethic and work
attitude. Only a spirit of excellence has been my watch word because perfection
is still possible since God is a perfect God and it is written we created in his
image, the image of GOD I MEAN. It is written that the spirit of God that raised
Jesus Christ from the dead is in us and revitalizes our mortal bodies.
An excellent spirit is about how you look at thinks when everyone says the
situation is bad or there will be trouble. I will advise you to read the Bible from
Daniel 5:7-12
The wordings of Daniel 5 I should say is the place of PAID WA, full of
knowledge, hard work and study
For you students I will advise that you develop an excellent spirit in your study
and dissolve any doubt in your mind as you begin this new journey.
You may be misunderstood but keep your focus because it is that attitude that
will determine your altitude
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AMEN
