Those who know God know that He is not a God of mediocrity but of excellence. Being the standard for measuring excellence, excellence is in His very nature. Consequently, what He produces according to the dispensation of time is nothing but excellent. Actually at any point in time, He produces excellence according to specific requirements. This is so because the definition of excellence is contingent on the frame of time of which one speaks. Such that what is excellent today may be only good tomorrow. For example since the Law came from the Lord, it was an excellent thing which He did. It was according to divine plan and therefore it was the best. But in the dispensation of grace the Law is not the best. It is actually to be discarded so that righteousness may be of faith (cf. Gal.3:23,24). The glory of today may be nothing tomorrow since tomorrow may present different requirements for excellence. This is why your life should be an unending pursuit of excellence.

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE - Part Two
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, …and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee (1Kings 17:9).
Many Christians often put themselves at unnecessary disadvantage because they do not know that two are better than one. Either as a result of pride or ignorance, they have not yet received God’s winning formula. Even when things are messy, they like for everyone to think that everything is alright with them. They sit in quiet solitude in their closets to weep lamentably while God’s help is readily available next-door. And when they step out, they put up appearances of wellbeing, not wanting to be seen as needing help. But again I tell you a secret: two are better than one.

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken (Ecc 4:9-12 ).
Beloved, let me tell you a secret; two are always better than one and a threefold cord is not easily broken. In fact this is such a deep nugget of wisdom that it is often overlooked by many. It sounds simple and regular but it is profound. This is the secret behind every great accomplishment. It is the force behind every great work. Men who achieved great things understood this principle. I consider this the principle for great achievement. In fact it is a heavenly principle by which heavenly vision is attained.
