THERE ARE MANY LAZY PEOPLE ALL IN THE NAME OF FAITH. FAITH CAN’T GET YOU INTO SUCCESS WITHOUT WORK.
WITHOUT A DILIGENT APPROACH TO LIFE, ONE IS SURE TO END UP A FAILURE
THE KINGDOM HAS NO ALLOWANCE FOR IDLE PEOPLE.
For example, one can never succeed in any endeavour without being diligent in his approach. Proverbs 22:29. They are many who claim to be in their business and their business means just idling about. Just sleep and wake up at 10.
You don’t go anywhere. Without a diligent approach to life, one is sure to end up a failure. In every business concern and career endeavour, how active you are determines what impact you make. Proverbs 22:29. John 5:17.
So the kingdom has no allowance for idle people. You wake up and just pass through the day, the day didn’t pass through you. When the Lord called me into full-time ministry, I said Jesus do you have enough jobs for me to do? Because I have found all these things before. No future for an idle man.
He said I have got more for you to do than you can finish in your lifetime. Okay. That’s okay. Because I saw pastors just idling about.
I don’t like this kind of life. Why won’t they loiter around? 41 years I have not knocked on anyone’s door till now. Many lazy people in the name of faith. Faith can’t get you into success without work. I must have hit some people now but that is okay. We are here for corrections.
All my sons and daughters looking for a job, whatever your hand finds to do now start doing it. There is dignity in labour. You don’t need to settle with Corporate Affairs to sell yam or to sell tomatoes. One of our young men in Kaduna came back from the U.S. with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and couldn’t find any job but he is used to a working life where he is coming from.
So he went to Edo to find out how much they sell palm oil, came to Kaduna to find out also and became a supply merchant. With the little money he had, he started to buy palm oil from Edo into Kaduna and he built a house in G.R.A. You are just sitting idle, that is not life. Life is about the dignity of labour. You are with a proposal, which proposal are you carrying about. Ecclesiastes 9:10.
The one that gave us our landed property in Liberia started as a shoe shiner. He heard me say that if you are not working you are dying without knowing and he used the little money he had to buy polish and brush. You have the creative mind of Christ, unlimited opportunities are everywhere. One of my sons told me that someone wants to start ministry and his budget is 22.5 million. He said God will never give you that if it is ministry you want to start. You will die if he gives you.
