DON'T STOP WORKING

Proverbs 21:5

The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

When this year began many had a lot of expectations. Some went from one programme to another seeking for one blessing or the other. There would have been a lot of promises.

This is the second month almost coming to the end, I ask "how far?"

The truth is that at the end of the year, depending on what one is expecting, some may get it, yet some may not. Truly there are things in our hands however, utimately all things are in the hands of the Heavenly Father, one thing though, He has released them to us. Selah

Take this country for instance, many have this mentality that one would just make it, that is "a tree just appears out of thin air".

No,

there is always a planting, a nurturing, then a full growth.

We should remember that if:

*  It is work, we should expect to spend energy

* It is a journey, we should expect it to take some time.

* it is a training, we should expect to learn

* it is a business, it will grow from stage to stage

* it is a marriage, we live it day after day

* it is children, we have to train and raise them

* it is a ministry, we must minister

* it is a position of authority, we must lead and lead well.

For the Heavenly Father is not interested in lazy people, or those who just keep giving excuses:

Romans 12:7-8,11-12

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

No matter our expectation, we should understand that if it tarries, it could yet be more opportunity to prepare for it.

If we concentrate only on the difficulties we will not get far to achieve victory.

When the challenges come we will overcome.

As believers we do not just desire aimlessly, we live purposefully, understanding that we receive to give.

Proverbs 4:18

But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

So, where are you now? How far?

The world may be brewing troubles, yes rumours of wars will not cease, but don't get distracted keep at your "work", open your ears to hear from the Lord.

May we get better day after day.

May we receive greater and better than we expect.

May we profit in all.

May we remain relevant.

He calls us blessed.

Love
