MESSAGE:

If you are not prepared to be different, there is no way you can be outstanding. You have to stand out from the crowd. You cannot be in the crowd, remain with the crowd, be like the crowd, do things like them and expect to be outstanding.

To be outstanding doesn’t necessarily imply that you will become the president. It simply means that you excel at everything you do. It means that you are steps ahead of others wherever you find yourself. It means that you constantly put in more work, pay more attention, and follow the rules much more than anyone else. Are you ready to obtain the price of obtaining the best result from every effort?

Prayer Point: Father, among my peers and in my generation, by our spirit of excellence, let me stand out.

Hymn 11: Stand up! stand up for Jesus,

1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The solemn watchword hear;
If while yelling sleep he suffers,
Away with shame and fear.
Where’re yeah meet with evil,
Within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
And put the foe to rout.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus !
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of Ilesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song.
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.
