DILIGENCE

-

Proverbs 22:29

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].


One thing we must perfect as we enter the coming year is Diligence.


The Lord does not encourage laziness. So we should not. This cuts across every area of our lives. Physical, Spiritual, Academic etc.


Proverbs 13:4

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.


Romans 12:11(NLT)

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


1 Thessalonians 5:14(NLT)

Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.


Proverbs 12:24

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.


Proverbs 21:5

The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; but of every one [that is] hasty only to want.


Proverbs 13:4

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.


2Peter 1:5

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;


We must not be counted with the sluggards in whatever we do. We should carry the nature of our Father.


Genesis 1:31

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.


We should be able to come to the same conclusion as our Heavenly Father.


So, as we prepare for the new year, let us look back at how we have lived this year, ready to correct every mistake. So that as the Lord opens new doors for us next year we will be ready to diligently take advantage and make the most of it.


We and those under our care would be accounted as diligent. Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, as we prepare for the coming year, help us to be better and more diligent in all our ways. We will excel and Lord You will be happy with our work. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

BY HIS MERCY

-
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. As we go on our christian journey challenges will surely arise. No one was promised a smooth sail.  1 Peter 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: However we must be encouraged to stay strong especially in those times when it seems we may want to fall or give up. Remembering that it is not an option. We have His mercy. We never grow too great that we no longer need the mercy of God, everyone of us, no matter the level we are, still needs His mercy as we go on. We of course remember that we have not gotten thus far on our own strength. No, it is the Lord's mercy. Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. The tide could rise, the storms could roar, we could even face internal crises, let us remember that we...
