ARE YOU
INDUSTRIOUS?
Memorise: Love
not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be
satisfied with bread. Proverbs 20:13
Read: Proverbs
31:10-13, 10 Who
can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of
spoil.
12 She
will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She
seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
Bible in one
year: Ecclesiastes 1-4, 1st John 4
In the
school of life, those who are prone to giving excuses end up as failures.
Greatness in life is not for the slothful but for the diligent. It is not for
men of theoretical faith, but for those who can put their faith into action.
There are many people walking around blind to opportunities. They always
complain about the economic situation of their country, and for this reason,
they have refused to take their destinies in their own hands. Nothing moves
until you move. There are opportunities all around you, but if you can’t see
them, they will not translate into tangible results. To be industrious is to be
hardworking, conscientious, diligent and productive. John 15:16 says:
“Ye have
not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in my name. he may give it to you.”
God
expects His children to be productive and be creative in their thinking. The
fact that you belong to God should make you see solutions to issues where
others only see problems. The spiritual controls the physical; this is why you
need to ask God to open your spiritual eyes. You need to see the good things
coming your way from afar off, so that as they come, you can tap into them.
There are many people sitting and living around opportunities without exploring
them. There is no future for lazy fellows.
The life
God expects from the industrious is a life of fruitfulness in every area.
Fruitfulness is a covenant benefit of God’s children. If you are still in
school, you need to be industrious in order to graduate with excellent grades.
If you are serving in God’s ministry, you need to be industrious, so that you
can access the anointing required for doing spiritual exploits. If you are
engaged in business, you need to
be
hard-working to make more profits and access greater business opportunities. If
you are in the corporate world, being industrious will put you on the cutting
edge of your career. You need to keep growing. You need to develop yourself for
the glorious future you see ahead of you. You must not be distracted with those
things that will not enhance the quick actualization of your God-given dreams.
There is no need losing your head over what you don’t have. What you have is
more than enough for your breakthrough. Never be afraid of starting small. Ask
the Lord to open your eyes so that you can multiply the seed in your hands to
become a forest.
Key Point
Whatever you
don’t value can never add value to you.
