THE HAND OF THE DILIGENCE

*LIVING SEEDS DEVOTIONALS* (Life Transforming Words) Wed |Aug|25th|21 ******************************* *THE HAND OF THE DILIGENT* _The hand of the diligent shall m rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute_ . Proverb 12:24(KJV) I was on my routine evangelism when i saw a young lady, I saw her walking morning till night, i asked her, is this what you do for a living? and her response was yes Pastor, this is what i do for a living. I was amazed to have find a lady who is not depending on men to survive but depends on her hands. She was diligent in her place of service. *Beloved, There is no short cut in been successful and prosperous in life and destiny* , it takes a diligent hand to be successful in life. The most successful men and women you see today, their secret is diligence and discipline. if you go through their profiles, all you will trace is diligence, i have not seen a lazy hand who eat two square meal per day, rather, they beg before they could feed. A *diligence hand is a discipline hand* . Men and women who are successful today are people whose hands are diligence. The scripture speaking and says seest thou a man who is diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. Life does not smile at any one, rather life seems as if it does not appear real when we are been faced with different challenges of life. So will it be for a lazy man. The worth of man is not measured based on who he is but how diligent in his place of business. Several people are not diligent at their place of service, laziness has eaten to the fabrics of thier lives, all they want is gold on their table, *and that is why a lazy hand will never gather any tangible success because he is under a curse of unproductivity* , but a diligent hand is blessed day by day. I have never seen a slothful man who is successful in life and destiny, except if he perverted his ways. God does not reward a lazy man he only rewards diligent man. The scripture speaking in Proverbs 10:4. He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. You dont expect anything good from the life of a lazy hand, as long as he remains lazy, he will always become poor, so likewise as long as a diligence hand is hardworking he will always become more successful. A lazy man does not gather when others are working and gathering crops, Why others wakes very early to their place of works, a lazy man is still on the bed. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. (Prov. 10:5). I have not seen a diligent man becoming poor, because God blesses his efforts. There are fact about a diligent man. The man who is diligent is precious and not slothful, precious at work (prov. 12:24). His hand shall bear rule (prov 12:27). A diligent soul is mad fat (prov 13:4). A diligent person will always excell and be successful in his dealings (prov 22:29). What does it mean to be diligent, it means to be industrious, hard working. Diligent hand is energetic, strong and rugged and dugged. *To be diligent is to confront your task with all available strength in you* . Hunger will always encourages a lazy man to work because each man is responsible to work for himself in order to provide for his own food(prov 16:26). There are suggested ways to be diligent, embrace hard work, give attention to diligence at work, set a productive and achievable target, and rejects laziness always at all cost. I pray God will reward your diligent effort in Jesus name. Amen *SHALL WE PRAY* : Father in the name of Jesus, i receive grace to be diligent at my duty post in Jesus name. *MEDITATION* Prov 21:9 Heb 11:1-6 *SURE PROPHECY* : I prophecy into your life and destiny your efforts will not be wasted , you will be productive in Jesus mighty name.
