Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Excellence A plan of God exemplified through Daniel God decided to create man in His image and likeness. The Lord God, in His eternal purpose, provided His word to feed and give life to man, in order for man to live the spirit of excellence on earth. Jesus, the second man and the last Adam, lived fully the spirit of excellence on earth fulfilling the plan of God. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of the word of God. Jesus Christ is the essence and the fullness of the word of God. However, it is in the word that man lives in the spirit of excellence to fulfill the plan of God. Daniel was a Jew, who lived in exile in Babylon, from his youth to his death. When he was a child, he decided to obey the word of God during his life. By practicing the word of God, he fulfilled God's plan by living out the spirit of excellence on earth. In this book, we will learn more about the life and work of the prophet Daniel in Babylon. I believe that God desires for us to be inspired, challenged, and awakened to live a life with a spirit of excellence like Daniel lived. To God, in Christ Jesus, be all the glory!
Download or read book Excellence How to Pursue an Excellent Spirit written by Andrew Wommack and published by Harrison House. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're honest, you'll admit you want to be promoted in life. You want the benefits of success, influence, and prosperity, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's what God wants for you too! Promotion even comes from God, and though relative to what God has called each person to do, it is available to every born-again believer! But even though promotion comes from God, it isn't God who determines whether you are promoted or not. It's you. You choose to be promoted by choosing to develop an excellent spirit, and in this book, Andrew Wommack will show you how. Using examples from the lives of Daniel and his friends, and from his own life, Andrew outlines the key characteristics of excellence including identity in Christ, true humility, full obedience, endurance, and an uncompromising stand on God's word. In contrast, Andrew also explains the dangers of moral relativity and man-pleasing and how those characteristics often mire believers in a life of mediocrity and impotence. Personal talent, beauty, education, and intelligence are also not what produce promotion; it is a devoted relationship with God. No matter how much money you make or where you live; no matter who your connections are or the color of your skin; it's an excellent spirit that will be the true determiner of your promotion. Let Andrew's book encourage you to pursue Excellence.

This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Kaizen is much more than a world-class management practice; it is a technique to remove fear from our mind’s mind, enabling us to take small steps to better things. The process of change starts with awareness and desire in our minds and then leads to action and change in the physical world. Readers of this book will surely fi nd new ideas and encouragement to make improvements in personal health, performance at work, and their own well-being.” —Masaaki Imai, Chariman, Kaizen Institute KAIZEN: The Small-Step Step Solution for You and Your Company Today’s businesses love the idea of revolutionary, immediate change. But major “disruptive” efforts often fail because radical change sets off alarms in our brains and shuts down our power to think clearly and creatively. There is, however, a more effective path to change. Change that is lasting and powerful. Change that begins with one small step . . . It’s The Spirit of Kaizen—a proven system for implementing small, incremental steps that can have a big impact in reaching your goals. This step-by-step guide from renowned psychologist and consultant Dr. Robert Maurer shows you how to: Lower costs—by offering little rewards Raise quality—by reducing mistakes Manage difficult people— one step at a time Boost morale and productivity— in five minutes a day Implement big ideas—through small but steady actions Sell more—in less time Filled with practical tips and ready-to-use tools for managers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, The Spirit of Kaizen is the essential handbook for a changing world. You’ll learn how to think outside the suggestion box, remove mental blindfolds, manage stress with one-minute exercises, and handle rising health-care costs. You’ll discover the “small step” secrets for dealing with all kinds of people, from tough bosses and listless workers to stubborn clients and fussy customers. These simple but powerful techniques can be applied to almost any workplace situation, especially when you’re trying to navigate the stormy waters of radical change, high-pressure deadlines, and cutthroat competition. These are the same methods of small, continual improvement that have been tested by the largest companies, such as Boeing, Toyota, and the U.S. Navy—methods that will work for you, too. No matter how big the obstacle or how big the dream, The Spirit of Kaizen has a small-step solution to help you succeed.
Download or read book Unlocking the Spirit of Excellence written by Oladayo Shomuyiwa and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the phrase "whatever you find yourself doing, do it well." This purposeful and insightful book of wisdom by Oladayo Shomuyiwa explores this notion in a somewhat uncommon but meaningful way, exploring the very roots of the Scripture to highlight God's expectation of his children in Unlocking the Spirit of Excellence! Oladayo explores the empowerment to excellence, a concept which is overlooked by so many, and in doing so teaches the discerning reader how to grapple through the hurdles of everyday life operating in a mode that God expects of us. As he takes us on a compelling journey through the book of Daniel, who stood out for his unique Spirit of Excellence, Oladayo helps us to understand that unlocking that same spirit is not at all too far from those who are willing, whilst challenging the faithful believer to think outside the box to embrace such a spirit. But be warned: this inspiring and motivational book is not your typical regurgitation of a biblical study, but rather a thoughtful and challenging guide aimed to push you to the next level in your daily living and ultimate walk with God.

Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

Download or read book Perfecting the Art of Mime and Drama written by Christopher Bailey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greetings!!! It is indeed an honor and pleasure for me to share with you valuable information that will elevate your mime and drama ministry to a new dimension of worship. By the end of this handbook my prayer is that you will be equipped to minister to the masses like never before. As you read and begin to implement the wisdom that flows within, please keep this thought in the forefront of your mind: (Your growth in ministry depends heavily on your willingness to never stop learning and to never stop worshiping the Lord) God is a forward moving God. So in other words, stop using the plans and utensils from yesterday for your today. Implement the plan that God is currently using (Present) not what He used (Past). What He USED was necessary to get you to where you are now. It serves as your reminder, your testimony for others. "One of the key elements to creativity is the ability to embrace its openness. The positive power and energy that exudes from the arts cannot be contained in a box mentality." Such thinking chokes the life out of creativity causing it to become stale, boring, and ineffective. Therefore my goal is to instill fresh, innovative, creative ideas along with proper instructions to mime and performing arts ministries, by introducing the marriage of mime and drama - (Mime-O-Drama). I encourage you to align your lifestyle, your creativity with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and become one. This unity creates an atmosphere where true ministry takes place. Miracles, signs and wonders become the norm. Broken hearts are mended, the chains of bondage are broken, the vital breath of healing, deliverance and salvation flow into the lives of both the believer and non-believer. (Isaiah 61:1 - 3) says: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." "Understanding your Holy calling equips you to live a lifestyle befitting of the call to be effective in ministry of mime and drama." The principle that sustains this handbook can be found in: (2nd Timothy 2: 15) says: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth." "It is my earnest prayer that God will impart a fresh fire anointing upon your ministry. We as ministers of the performing arts have the ultimate responsibility to uplift the name of Jesus to the nations at all times. The lifestyle we live before our peers should serve as a light on a hill which would lead those searching, to find Christ." So let us lay aside the spirit of competition, entertainment, and personal gratification for the greater good. Let us therefore center our attention on Jesus Christ and illustrate HIS truth which is entrenched in the Word of God. - Minister Christopher Bailey, Sr.-

Each of those chapters provides an introduction of a particular philosophy of education and some of that philosophy's exemplars.

Chapter 16 highlights a biblical philosophy of Christian education--featuring some people, some principles, and some priorities for a biblical philosophy of Christian education, viz. pursuing excellence for the glory of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “profound and inspiring” collection of ancient indigenous wisdom for “anyone wanting the healing of self, society, and of our shared planet” (Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma). A Penobscot Indian draws on the experiences and wisdom of the First Nations to address environmental justice, water protection, generational trauma, and more. Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, Sherri Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day—including indigenous land rights, environmental justice, and our collective human survival. Sharing the gifts she has received from the elders of her tribe, the Penobscot Nation, she asks us to look deeply into the illusions we have labeled as truth and which separate us from our higher mind and from one another. Sacred Instructions explains how our traditional stories set the framework for our belief systems and urges us to decolonize our language and our stories. It reveals how the removal of women from our stories has impacted our thinking and disrupted the natural balance within our communities. For all those who seek to create change, this book lays out an ancient world view and set of cultural values that provide a way of life that is balanced and humane, that can heal Mother Earth, and that will preserve our communities for future generations.
