THE PLACE OF DILIGENCE
IN DESTINY
By DIGC 08 February 2020
The possibilities of
life are accessible by diligence, but where people are lazy, life can never be
easy.
SCRIPTURE: By much
slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house
droppeth through. Ecclesiastes 10:18
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Where people are lazy, life can never be easy.
Diligence is another
key to destiny fulfilment. The place of diligence to destiny fulfilment can
never be over-emphasized. The possibilities of life are accessible by
diligence, but where people are lazy, life can never be easy.
Jacob was a typical
example of a diligent worker; he forced himself into destiny fulfilment on the
frequency of diligence. Genesis 31:38-41 confirms that Jacob worked day and
night; he was too diligent to be frustrated by his wicked uncle, Laban.
Diligence was the only way Jacob could survive and succeed despite the
wickedness and crookedness of his employer. At a point, he had to physically
paint woods to determine the colour of the offspring the flocks were to bring
forth because that was the next condition of service. He wearied out Laban by
work; the cheating attitude of Laban could not work against Jacob. He worked
his way out of Laban’s crookedness (Genesis 30:37-38).
Now, let us look at
some facts about diligence:
1. Diligence brings
eminence (Proverbs 22:29).
2. Diligence brings
excellence (Daniel 6:1-3). To work hard is to stand out. Hard work brings high
flight.
3. Diligence brings
affluence. Hard work is the cure for hard life. Jacob became affluent by
diligence (Genesis 30:25-27, 43).
4. Diligence forbids
decadence. Nothing is permitted to decay where there is diligence. It is
indolence that breeds decadence (Ecclesiastes 10:18).
5. Diligence
facilitates providence. It facilitates the fulfilment of your Divinely ordained
plans and purpose. God is a Worker; Jesus is a Worker (John 5:17). So, God
loves those who love work.
Beloved, make up your
mind to be diligent in everything you do.
REMEMBER THIS: Where
people are lazy, life can never be easy.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Have a schedule of
your daily activities and have a personal assessment at the end of each day.
2. Refuse to company
with lazy people.
3. If you are trusting
God for what to do, start doing something no matter how little it is.
