DILIGENCE TO WEALTH

‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings…’ (Proverb 22.29) It is the will of God that you should prosper, but on the road to prosperity there are many factors which can hinder you. These factors can be categorized into external and internal environmental factors. The external environmental factors are those factors youdo not have control over but can only influence, while the internal factors are the onesyoucan control, e.g., laziness. The book of proverb say that hard work leads to prosperity while laziness leads to poverty. Hard work will give you power, but being lazy will make you a slave. If you are lazy you will never get what you are after, but if you work hard you will get a fortune (Prov. 12:24,27) GNV. Lazy people should learn a lesson from the ways ants live. They have no leader, chief or ruler yet they store up their food during summer, getting ready for winter. How long is a lazy man going to lie in bed? When is he ever going to get up? ‘I will just take a short nap he says, I‘ll fold my hands and rest a while, but while he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber.’ (Prov.6:6-11). ‘Work and you will earn a living, if you sit around talking you will be poor.’ (prov. 14:24). Therefore, it is very essential that you work hard and commit your work into God’s hand to prosper you. God does not prosper empty hands. Work hard! Manna no Longer falls from heaven. Angela Musa
