BIBLE IN A YEAR: Hag 1 -2
IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY Tuesday, November 23, 2010
MEMORIZE: “The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute” (Prov. 12:24) READ: Prov. 22:28-29 One patriarch of old who got a turn around miracle was Elisha. His sacrificial stride changed his entire life. One thing is common with those chosen by God: hardwork! Do you know God loves hard working people? Proverbs 22:29 says, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men”. This simply tells us of the importance of hardwork. It is so crucial to life that it is a major determinant of your position, location and the people you will be frolicking with in the society.  If you are hard working, it does not matter where you are now; if you can sustain that quality or standard of delivery, sooner than later, it will relocate you to a preferred place.  Your work in a sense helps you to find an appropriate location. If you are wining and dining with the lowly, it could have been determined by the quality of work. Some people spend several hours at works but the quality of their output is nothing to write home about. This means that hardwork alone is not sufficient: you must ensure there is high quality of service delivery. Several buildings in major cities have collapsed as a result of substandard materials. If you want to improve on the quality of service delivery, there is need to evaluate your present quality service, set your goals, identify the variance between the present quality and your targeted quality; clearly define the steps you need to take to get to your targeted goal and be prepared to give great time to work on realizing that goal backed up with prayer. Do you know you can deliver better sermons than you do now? Do you know your voice production can come out better as you minister as a choir member? Do you know that you can teach your Sunday School class in such a way that your students would always look forward to attending Sunday School? This talks of the need for training and self development. If the quality of your service must improve, then you must take advantage of all available training programs that are related with your department. You must be prepared to spend some money in your bid to acquire more knowledge in your area of ministry.  What is the quality of your service today? ACTION POINT: Prayerfully and thoughtfully list 15 ways of improving whatever you do so as to enhance quality service, ensure speed, and eradicate time wastage.
