The place of work
Can you imagine a student that does nothing other than reading the Bible,praying and fasting,when his textbooks are there..He expects to get good grades at the end of the day..I bet you,he will be a charismatic failure..That is why the Bible says in James 2:17,Faith without work is dead. Unfortunately,that's where most people have failed,they have substituted work for faith .But faith without work is fake.
Now there are things you should know about work.
#Work Is It!#
Has it ever occured to you that when God made the garden in Eden,the man He created could not begin to eat of anything,it had produced without work?
Look at Genesis. 2:15
And the Lord God took the man,and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it
What God was saying to Adam in verse 15 is, "Work it or you have no right to enjoy it" To dress and keep it means to take care of it(work it).Work is therefore one commandment given to man.
From what we read in Genesis 2,work existed long before the fall of man,so work is not a curse! God the father is a worker - the Bible says on the seventh(7th) day,He rested from His work( Genesis 2:2).
In Psalm 127:1 it says that every builder invests labour. Therefore,labour can be regarded as the capital price for success.
Thank God for faith,but in the school of success,faith is impotent without work(James 2:17).
The more you work
One of the benefits of working is that,the harder you work,the better you think. Mental dignity is a product of the use of one's senses. You cannot be a hard worker and not be a resourceful thinker.
Kim Whoo Chong once said " If you use your brain, it will develop".Many people say they get more ideas when they go to a quiet place,in the seaside or mountains,but in real sense,real ideas come when the brain cells are moving..
A lazy man will gradually have his mental system corroded,He will lose his balance and his sense of judgement. Your future can be secured by investing by your labour. Don't wait for it, because it never comes on its own.
** No Substitute For Work**
Nothing destroys people or a nation like cheap money..Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Whatever you own that you cannot legitimately account for,does not secure a future for you. There is no substitute for hard work. You can unlock your great destiny by embracing the cost success.
Many people have been waiting for prophecies to be fulfilled. If you are waiting ,you are wasting ! Prophecies never fulfill themselves,your part must be fulfilled too for God to complete it. Abraham had any servants,he became a nation by working his way into fulfilling divine agenda.
