Proverbs 10:4-5, 22 NKJV
He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

Shalom! Day #269. Do you know that unknowingly we enslaved ourselves to laziness? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for being lazy both spiritually and physically. Although You have given us many opportunities, yet still we are lazy to take the first step. Forgive us Lord for the attitude we have. Holy Spirit, change us from inside out. Give us a heart burning desire, a passion that continuously flame for You so that we may not be lazy to move, when You ask us to do so. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
Laziness is a contagious spirit. It will take host almost on everyone, even I have to admit at time to feel lazy and just want to rest. Folks, we must be aware of this spirit especially when God has called us to do His works. An adult, if you are physically all ok and not disabled, then you must go to work, go find a work and not just make a living on your parents money and property. It's a disgrace to your parents, don't you feel ashamed of it? Having being enabled, in good health yet we demand things way our expectations and unless we get it we won't work? Come on folks, many people started low, and as they are faithful with God, He will prosper and bless them.
In today's verse, we are learning about the spirit of laziness. How to cultivate the spirit of diligence and shun laziness away? Be it in the ministry or your personal life and work, do not be lazy. The bible says that such people is a sluggard. We must cultivate the habits of doing thing without procrastinating, having a habit that doing things without waiting for orders or being told, it means taking initiative to do something. Do not live on you parents money unless you are disabled, even the disabled ones do something to earn for a living, what about us who are so well and healthy? Think about it folks, the Bible says learn from the ant's, although their are the smallest of all, yet they work to store food in time of need. Get yourself activated, and be not slumber. Wake up O sleeper. Humans aren't robots but we are created so that we can move all the mechanism in out body. If we do move we don't sweat. If we don't sweat then all the toxins will not be discharged. Then what happens? Of course we will fall sick, then die. Eat and sleep, eat and sleep, eat and sleep. Is this the kind of life you want? We only have one life, do something, live it purposefully.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
