MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all of your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed. Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV).

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with ASSURANCE and BOLDNESS to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [DREAD does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love DRIVES OUT FEAR, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

THE FAITH THAT WORKS

February 4, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: ONLY EXPRESS IN ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE THROUGH HIS WORD!

Do you want your Faith in God to be activated, expressed and working for your good in every way and everywhere daily? The ‘FAITH THAT WORKS’ is only functional, effectual and productive as it ABIDES in God’s Love in Christ Jesus. And ABIDING in God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, is in ABIDING and ABOUNDING in THE WORD!

Have you ever wondered to listen when someone says I am in LOVE, while such a personal is not ABIDING and ABOUNDING in THE WORD?

I am not sure you need an engineering degree or background to know that driving a keyless or a keying vehicle requires obeying the principles or rules by the manufacturer of such vehicle if you must enjoy and pleasure in it and stay safe within the warranty or and in the guarantee of a safe drive as in many other science of life.

In the same scenario for one to enjoy the unlimited warranty of grace in abounding Love, you MUST as a matter of principle ABIDE in the WORD. That’s what the MANUFACTURER of the human life demands. It makes one’s Faith Works with ease and grace.

Genuine LOVE is not cheap and it’s of the Holy Spirit in human spirit. Faith on His WORD to enhance and engraft His LOVE in your being ensures you a winner any day and anywhere.

Do you want a healthy and continuous flow of God’s LOVE with His unlimited, assured and insured warranty or guarantee? Then stay on and ABIDE in the WORD. This will cause your FAITH to Work for your good I earnestly assure and guarantee you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your JOY MIGHT BE FULL” (John 15:7-11).

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (Burdensome, irksome, taskmaster)” 1 John 5:3 (Emphasis Mine).

GOD’S BATTLE AXE: DEALING WITH THE BATTLE OF THE MIND!

February 3, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S BATTLE AXE: DEALING WITH THE BATTLE OF THE MIND!

“And be RENEWED in the spirit of your MIND” Ephesians 4:23.

Knowingly or unknowingly, there’s a battle and warfare that is ongoing in our minds and in thoughts twenty-four-seven. Unfortunately, the Church has sat so much on SPIRITUAL WARFARE for so long that we have lost a major BATTLE which I called – MENTAL WARFARE – The battle of the mind.

For its ones PICTURE that determines ones FUTURE. It is what you picture in the spirit of your MIND that determines and defines what awaits you in the future. And the vitality for SOUND MIND can NEVER be over-emphasized at all phases of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he [in BEHAVIOR—one who manipulates]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost]” Proverbs 23:7.

And there are reasons for the mind battle field when you look at the Scriptural context in Mark 5:1-20. This is simply for these reasons though not limited:

* Your mind is certainly a gateway to your life, for every event of your life is determined and defined in the mind.

* Every captive is first arrested in the mind. And your Liberty (freedom) is established or lost in the MIND.

* Your mind is the controller of your destiny. Until you are able to keep your mind under control, your life is out of control.

* As terrible as sin is, Jesus established that sin begins with a seed of thought (Matthew 5:27-30). All the devil does is to sell the thought. When you buy the thought, you become a victim of the act.

* Nobody succeeds by chance; success begins with a thought. Nobody prospers just by effort. Every act of prosperity, advancement in life has its source in the hearted-mind.

* Until you begin to think differently things will not be different. Every GRACIOUS imagination establishes you, but every human philosophy that one falls for makes a captive of you. YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE. For as you THINK, so you BECOME.

* Every EVIL that comes upon Job begins with his imagination of it – Job 3:25. Every EVIL IMAGINATION is an express ACCESS for EVIL.

* Right living begins with right thinking. Great living begins with great thinking and great success begins with great success thought. Hence you don’t reply THOUGHTS with THOUGHTS but with WORDS.

FINALLY – Foreknowing the above and such like, one can say that – until your sense of reasoning and mentality is corrected, your destiny is not secured. For Satan has no access to your spirit, knowing it is in relationship and fellowship with the Father God; but he has access to your mind. It is the gateway to your life. Therefore give no place to the devil or else he will give you a direction.

You are GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPON OF WAR, do something by RENEWING the spirit of your mind by the WORD to remain SOUND-MINDED. That is the HOW to BATTLE in your MIND.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” Romans 12:2.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 The WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking EVERY THOUGHT and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (Amplified).

“THE FAITH THAT WORKS”: IS THE FAITH WORKING BY LOVE

February 2, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

“THE FAITH THAT WORKS”: IS THE FAITH WORKING BY LOVE!

The Scriptures made us to know that the justified in Christ Jesus shall LIVE by their FAITH. Not by my someone else FAITH, but by yours in Christ Jesus. But if your FAITH in Christ Jesus is not WORKING how then do you LIVE by it in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s a very deadly and dangerous place to be when you know your vehicle of life dealings called FAITH, which is: the means of transportation in your spiritual sphere is not WORKING; your currency of heavenly exchange is not WORKING.

How then do you go about carrying on and DOING Life day by day without stopping to check on the necessary fault to make it WORK, so that you can THRIVE instead of SURVIVE in your EARTHLY affairs by the HEAVENLY injection of GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED.

BELOVED! Is it not the time now to have a stop, take an inventory of your FAITH? Especially when you know very well that your FAITH in Christ Jesus is not actually WORKING in essence in your Life affairs as in – Marital Relationship, Social etiquette and Responsibility, General Human Relationships, Educational Career, Business Enterprise, Trade Skill, Ministry/Ministerial matters, Leadership Position, Governance Accountability and many such likes.

It is the FAITH that WORKS that gives you the enabling to LIVE and Do LIFE when ALL things about you comes to a halt – when job is loss, career is at a brink, business fails, enterprise collapse, marriage is at storm, relationship is at standstill, family is at the verge of being tip over, ministry is at dead ends and health is failing unprecedented, leadership and governance spirit is depressing and many such likes.

Therefore I say in Christ Jesus stead by the Holy Spirit that:

** You must put your FAITH to WORK if you must be able to fight the GOOD fight of your FAITH in Christ Jesus.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you must be able to communicate to life matters for a productive effectual results.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you must PLEASE God by every and any means.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you intend to live and do life by God in Christ Jesus.

** Your FAITH must WORK if intend to have a continuous ANSWERS to PRAYERS.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you intend to enjoy FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance your relationship with Him.

In this MONTH FEBRUARY, at this defining moment in history, you can’t afford to live and keep carrying on your Christian life in same acts of FAITH that is not WORKING and expect the HEAVENLY to BREATH into your EARTHLY affairs.

Take an inventory today, I mean now, and sort your FAITH to THE WORKING condition and position to enable you LIVE and DO LIFE EFFECTUALLY. For ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS’ will set you ablaze, inflame and on fire for that compassionate PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT you dearly need to THRIVE and ACHIEVE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38/Galatians 3:11/Romans 1:17).

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1Timothy 6:12.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF YOUR FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

February 2, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH – We STAND In GRACE By FAITH: And We ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus!

Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ Jesus, we are given ACCESS by same FAITH to Father God, upon the GRACE wherein our REDEMPTION was CERTIFIED for us, to enable us STAND and TAKE and MAKE a STAND, into the DEED of God, that MADE us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

And the most awesome and amazing POSSESSIONS In Redemption is the knowing that you ARE:

*** FORGIVEN from SIN and all SIN effects by God IN Christ Jesus.

*** ACQUITTED from All wrongs IN Christ Jesus.

*** RECEIVED back to GLORY and VIRTUE IN Christ Jesus.

For to being JUSTIFIED is to be DISCHARGED, ACQUITTED and DECLARED RIGHTEOUS – because of what Jesus Christ has done on our behalf, in God’s REDEMPTION did for us, in all about LIFE and GODLINESS. Amen.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.

You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:23-24.

“. . .3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23.

MONTH FEBRUARY – PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

February 2, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH – FOR YOUR PROSPERITY IN HIM!

You are BLESSED of God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, UNCONDITIONALLY – Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:3-6; 3 John 1:2. And to be BLESSED of God is to be empowered to PROSPER, SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME and SUCH-LIKE, in life and grace. However, to enact and authenticate the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus as regards prospering you and I, there’s the need to have, know and understand the works of your hands. For God will only prosper the Works of your hands to prosper you – meaning – NO WORK OF YOUR HANDS, NO PROSPERITY in Christ Jesus stead. God does no magic for He’s not a magician neither does God do confusion because He’s not confused and not the author of confusion as we see in many places by those seeking a microwave instant answers. Suffix to know that God’s BLESSEDNESS and MIRACLES as some may crave, are the consequences of His WORD – there’s no BUT or IF in it.

I also wants you to know that our uncreated creator and almighty God does HEARS and ANSWERS to PRAYERS – Psalms 65:2; Proverbs 15:29. So, the place of prayers and fasting as an act of fellowship to enhance our relationship with God is imperative, incomprehensible, indescribable and unspeakable in every known and unknown respect with God, by the Holy Spirit, in the BLESSEDNESS of His word, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 6:5-8, 16-18.

However, as important as the act of PRAYERS and FASTING are – God can only PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS and not by a mere act of praying and fasting to overshadow our place of being principled in taking responsibility and accountability through diligence and prudence by wisdom, to bring about the reality of our BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that:

*GOD DOES NOT PROSPER NOTHING – NEITHER DOES HE PROSPER EMPTINESS OR IDLENESS.

* THERE’S NO PLACE FOR A VACUUM WITH GOD TO PROSPER YOU.

There’s the need for inward look before an outward look as Isaiah 6:1-9 teaches us, to enable an individual to have a profound insights and foresight trajectory to their place in life and grace with God in Christ Jesus stead. For an inward discovery will definitely give an outward recovery no matter how much you think that you have elapsed with time. God is always on time with us and never late in His purpose to work out for our good and goodness. Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Philippians 1:6.

That we are born of God, blessed of God, chosen of God, predestinated of God and such like in our REDEMPTION, doesn’t give the rights and privileges of laziness, slothfulness and idleness in the kingdom cause of our God or living in a WISHY-WASHY lifestyle. Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:2-4; 3 John 1:2.

Just know for the record that God doesn’t prosper nothing and God doesn’t prosper laziness and God doesn’t prosper a no work in your hands otherwise any such teaching, prophecy, perception, intuition and messages it’s a counterfeit, fake, adulterated and contradictory to the, authority, fullness and authenticity to the graciousness and gracefulness of the WORD of God in all ramifications of doing life and living godly under God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. But God will lift any person from poverty and obscurity to prosperity and good success in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Joshua 1:8; 1 Samuel 2:7-9.

Jesus WORK the WORKS of Father God that sent Him and for three and half years after thirty years of preparation in knowing and understanding the works on and of His hands, He PROSPERED by God to fulfill PURPOSE and the CAUSE for which He came to the world, born of a woman as you and I. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37.

Therefore, give God something to work with – TILL YOUR LAND AND WATCH GOD PROSPER YOU ACCORDINGLY. For He PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

“The SLUGGARD will not PLOW by reason of the COLD; therefore shall he BEG in harvest, and have NOTHING” Proverbs 20:4.

“I went by the FIELD of the SLOTHFUL, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 and, lo, it was ALL GROWN OVER WITH THORNS, and NETTLES had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a LITTLE SLUMBER, a LITTLE FOLDING OF THE HANDS TO SLEEP: 34 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that travelleth; and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 24:30-34.

“GO TO THE ANT, THOU SLUGGARD; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 PROVIDETH her meat in the summer, and GATHERETH her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little SLEEP, a little SLUMBER, a little FOLDING of the hands to sleep: 11 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that TRAVELLETH, and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 6:6-11.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved” Ephesians 1:3-6.\

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023 : MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

A JOB is what you are employed and tutored to do and you can be sacked, retrenched, dismissed and retired even against your will but A WORK is what you are in-built to do and no man can sack, dismiss, retrench, retire you but you and you alone. It is the discovery of the work and your work in you, that makes the difference to make you do things differently; and that enables you to be creative, innovative and initiative by exploring better ways of prospering the work to prosper the you in life and grace without stress and anxiety, murmuring and complaining. By knowing and understanding what your work is all about, then you know your WORTH and how you tend toward an onward and upward trajectory to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, because it’s within you. THINK ABOUT IT!

When you know you work, the wisdom to prosper the work to prosper you, comes naturally. And the act of faithfulness, diligence, prudence, responsibility and accountability that’s built on principle become natural to you. And knowing and understanding your work and your worth in your worth, will change your perspective of not not blaming others wherever there is setback in the work. We live in a world where people take delight to blame others to in order to create their own narratives and uprising on someone else downfall. Knowing and understanding your work helps you not to be deter by the forces about, no matter the numbers. GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION NEITHER DANCING TO THE COMMONLY ACCEPTABLE AN OPTION WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WORK.

So, if you wants to prosper, take time to do diligence in self discovery of your work and then ensure all it takes to prosper the work that you may prosper along. Your prosperity is in your hand and not in another. The scripture says in Joshua 1:8, it is you that will make your way PROSPEROUS with GOOD SUCCESS, indicating that they are BAD SUCCESS as it’s written:

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favour with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

And to do business with your work, you have to as a matter of principle to be DILIGENT. And DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking, but about being smart, steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. The otherwise is to be slacked of the work to attract failings and failures instead of prosperity and good success as written:

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND – your WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOW, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE. And to ensure that you till the work – you cultivate by plowing on the work and planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion) and other necessary material to NURTURE that endeavour untill there’s a product – effect or result.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE all the necessary possibilities in the work set plan, purpose and pursuit. And DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.
