So, dear brothers, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen, and then you will never stumble or fall away. 2Peter 1:10 TLB

They are children of wealthy people who failed to take their life’s serious or even put effort into anything, they felt their parents’ work was enough for them and ended up as nobody after the passing of their parents. Life became hard for them due to their inability to work for themselves with the platform and privileges they had early in life. Some are still falling prey to this destructive pattern of living. No matter the level you find yourself in, you must put effort, your effort is what will make you a worthy fellow. Use your circumstance to push your goals and dreams and never think that the work of another person will be credited to you. The wealth you don’t know how to make will always be abused, whereas the little you don’t work to appreciate will never rise. Your situation must become a push that will direct your will into becoming an achiever yourself.

According to 1Samuel 17:34, David was telling King Saul of the work he has been putting in and he said…Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep.David had seven elder brothers that were lazing around at home and ignoring work 1Samuel 16:10. David’s attitude was what attracted the anointing of kingship to him, you cannot work with diligence and fail in life, it is not possible. Yes you might be ignored at the initial stages but your light will certainly shine forth despite the opposition. Discover what it is you want to do with your life and start putting in efforts in that direction. When purpose is discovered, working diligently is the vehicle that will bring realization. We were all products of work, creating something involves serious work and that was what God did, therefore you must work to create your own world and fulfill your purpose.

Today’s thought:The ways of a man are established by his will and his ability to follow through the will.”

Keynote: Always give your best and all that you know to do. Discover a path and be diligent therein.

Counsel: Nobody will do your work. Failure to plan now is the guarantee of a frustrated and regretful future. Use your circumstances to gain determination for your goal and work diligently.

Prayer: Help me not to waste my time at the wrong venture and in the name of Jesus I cancel the spell of laziness and lack of productivity. I receive the drive to work diligently and smartly in the name of Jesus. I decree and declare that I will not fail, amen.
