I've been greatly challenged this week, it started with a message I heard from Apostle Joshua Selman on Strategic Kingdom Influence. Also, I was privileged to be part of a Top Notch project executed by some skilled guys....and I was also challenged while reading up on the work Bill Gates and Melinda are doing through their foundation.
Today it is necessary to let us know that we must set Higher Standards. Men like Bill Gates are solving problems on a global level. Leaders are tackling challenges that the average man is facing. These men and women with their passion and work have set a standard.
The failure to set high standards is the reason for mediocrity. That's why a guy is eager to have a girlfriend just to show off, that's why a lady would be satisfied as long as she has one 'maga' to foot her bills. Lack of standards is what makes some young men settle for 'sugar mummies' and ladies for 'sugar daddies'.
Job, a man of Character set a standard for himself. See what he said 'I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?' Job 41:1. That's a man with a standard. Though he was wealthy and influential, yet he held himself up to high Moral Standards. See what was recorded of him in Job 1:1 'There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.'
What standards have you set for yourself as a youth in your relationships, career pursuits etc??
ACTION POINT
1. Identify areas in your life where you need to set or raise the standards.
Pray:
Lord, help me go up higher and set higher standards in Jesus Name.
