READ: Philippians 3:12-14

  1. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
  2. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
  3. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossians 2:1-23, Isaiah 43-44

MESSAGE:

In sporting competitions, there are always prizes to be won in different categories. There is bronze for third place, silver for second place and gold for first place. I always go for gold. Nothing can be compared to gold; even when it is thrown into fire, it shines brighter, so why shouldn’t anyone go for gold?

To go for gold means to strive for excellence. It means to be the best. In my younger years before God arrested me, I wanted to be the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa. If I had kept at that dream, I would have achieved it. By the grace of God, Im constantly striving for excellence.

God is a God of excellence because everything He made at creation was perfect. Therefore, as His child, you have an advantage over others who are not, so, you should be excellent in all that you do. Never be mediocre. When you are given any task, think of better ways to do it. Read about great people and learn from them. You have all that it takes to be the very best.

KEY POINT

Go for gold, never settle for less.

HYMN: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way

  1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
    New heights I’m gaining every day;
    Still praying as I onward bound,
    “Lord, plant my feet on higher
    ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

  1. My heart has no desire to stay,
    Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
    Though some may dwell where
    these abound,
    My constant aim is higher ground.
  2. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
    To rest beneath unclouded skies,
    Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
    By those who dwell on higher ground.
  3. I long to scale the utmost height,
    Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
    My song while climbing shall resound
    Lord lead me on to higher ground.
  4. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
    I dare not climb without my Guide;
    And heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
    With grateful heart from higher ground.
