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.

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.

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 The Spirit of Excellence written by Ebuk John Ebuk and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Excellence combines the burning heart of a Christian with the burdened heart of a pastor, who desires to see more people rising above the challenges of life to achieve high standards of excellence in all facets of life. Following lines of least resistance may be okay for natural water flows, but achieving excellence is sometimes like swimming upstream against the current. It requires decision, determination, courage, and faith to persevere against the odds and overcome the lure to settle down for the second best. It unleashes the genius in you to become the very person that God had in mind when He created you. When people are influenced to live out the qualities of integrity, transparent honesty, holiness, etc., and they in turn influence others""friends, relations, and contacts to do the same, then the world is transformed and become a better place for us all. You have probably heard the slogan "Every little helps," and you may wonder if this could ever apply to your contribution to this vast world. The truth is that you are important to God, and your unique contribution can set off chain reactions that influences many. So when it feels like a little drop of water in an ocean, remember that the ocean is made up of drops. This book contains spiritual gems, witty nuggets, and powerful illustrations that will inspire faith and confidence to aim high in living for God now and everywhere. You will be challenged and motivated to take hold of God and pursue a life of practical excellence irrespective of your past or present circumstances. By so doing, you will truly become the salt of the earth and light of the world (Matt. 5:13""16), i.e., shiny examples that preserves goodness and guides aright.

Download or read book Academics and your Spiritual Life written by Sam O Salau and published by Sam O Salau. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief, spirituality is no excuse for mediocrity. Dedication and commitment to the things of God does not enhance academic failure, it promotes academic excellence. Success for a Christian Student is defined as spiritual buoyancy and academic progression. You must be able to affect lives on campus and at the same time maintain a splendid academic performance. The problem of academic excellence that exasperates Christian Students is the cause of their deeper problem of abstinence from fellowship activities on campus. Academic success has become the major reason for most Christian Students’ estrangement from God. Those who get it are not in faith while those in faith seem not near it, no matter how hard they tried. It is pathetic to see students who are fervent in the Spirit and burning for the Lord fail in their academics. They make great impacts in the ministry but fail to extend the impact into their academics. They teach others about the rules, guidelines and secrets of success but they are not successful themselves. They are victims of academic failure. This is pitiable and should be given immediate attention since it has given so many people a wrong impression about the Christian Faith and student-hood. This book will help you balance both your academics and your spiritual life, and also give you principles that will make you excel in both with ease.

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.-

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.
