YOU CAN’T RISE WITH LAZINESS
“…because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful”
Deuteronomy 16:15b (ESV)
Why do you see people who are blessed of the Lord, yet are not manifesting that blessing?
Beloved, laziness is one of the reasons people don’t see the manifestation of their blessings.
The Lord does not bless your laziness; the Lord blesses the work of your hands and your produce. There is nothing the lazy produce. And that is one of the major causes of failure.
People fail, live poor and struggle to make any advancement because they are lazy.
You can have great potential and not manifest any greatness.
To be lazy is to be slothful, sluggish or indolent. A lazy person avoids exertion or productive activity. Unproductive activity is no activity when it comes to diligence.
The lazy are not diligent and cannot rule.
“Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends on forced labor.” Proverbs 12:24
A disciple of Jesus cannot be relevant in the kingdom when you remain lazy. Our Lord rewards faithfulness. And laziness cannot make you faithful.
God ordained work and expects you to be diligent with the work or the task He inspires or instructs you to do.
The lazy person can desire greatness and still not experience it.
”A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied” Proverbs 13:4
Greatness may begin with your desire; however, your desire must translate into consistent action, which will birth the greatness.
“The soul of the lazy man desires and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich” (Proverbs 13:4 KJV).
Having desire is one thing, and being diligent to work towards it is what makes the desire a reality.
Such a person will speak of great ideas or plans, yet will not take any action. And even when they begin to take a step towards their plans, they lack the discipline to complete the task.
The lazy person makes excuses and amplifies challenges because he or she hates to work.
A lazy person will give exaggerated reasons they couldn’t start or complete a task.
“The lazy one [manufactures excuses and] says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets [if I go out to work]!” Proverbs 22:13 (Amplified Bible).
A sluggard person wastes time and destroys great plans or success. (Proverbs 18:9)
God designed you for productivity.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (ESV).
Through your diligence, you bring honour to God and fulfill divine purpose.
Get up and get to work.
Don’t waste time on sleep.
Don’t waste time on things which don’t contribute to your success. Set daily goals and targets so that you can measure your success and impact.
Don’t sit thinking of why you were not blessed, while you know clearly what to do to manifest blessings.
The LORD BLESSES THE INCREASE OF YOUR PRODUCE AND THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS.
Avoid any reason or anything that leads to idleness or unproductivity.
Beloved, deal with laziness and rise.
Selah.

Thank you Lord Jesus
While the Lord has created us as the expression Himself and his workmanship…our expression of God is with all diligence.
Laziness is one of the main reason why we will not be able to express our calling to the full.
We have come to the place where without God’s word we will only achieve litter. But with laziness we cant achieve anything.
While the lazy makes excuses, the consistent and hard working produxe
Prov.14.23 In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty. (NKJV)
I refuse to be idle!!
I refuse to be lazy
Laziness is one of the little foxes that destroys a great and beautiful vine of success. A lazy man is even useless to the devil himself because he also wants agents who will execute actions with urgency because there is no time on his side. God created time and by Gods grace anyone on His side by the help of him will be able to compress time to manifest great results
But the only thing is that will you wake up to the task and He will show you wonders
They that do business In deep waters will see the mighty hand of God
I have the character of Christ as he is so I am. I don’t entertain any form of laziness. A diligence pay the price
I wake up from slumber and get to work
Hey I refuse to be lazy
I don’t waste time on sleep
I get up and get to work
I am productive
I refuse to be Lazy!!
I am a diligent man!!
