thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Proverbs 31:10-13 (NIV)
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

Bible in one year: Ecclesiastes 1-4, 1st John 4
In the school of life, those who are prone to giving excuses end up as
failures. Greatness in life is not for the slothful but for the diligent. It is
not for men of theoretical faith, but for those who can put their faith into
action. There are many people walking around blind to opportunities. They always
complain about the economic situation of their country, and for this reason,
they have refused to take their destinies in their own hands. Nothing moves
until you move. There are opportunities all around you, but if you can’t see
them, they will not translate into tangible results. To be industrious is to be
hardworking, conscientious, diligent and productive. John 15:16 says:
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name. he may give it to you.”
God expects His children to be productive and be creative in their
thinking. The fact that you belong to God should make you see solutions to
issues where others only see problems. The spiritual controls the physical;
this is why you need to ask God to open your spiritual eyes. You need to see
the good things coming your way from afar off, so that as they come, you can
tap into them. There are many people sitting and living around opportunities
without exploring them. There is no future for lazy fellows.
The life God expects from the industrious is a life of fruitfulness in
every area. Fruitfulness is a covenant
benefit of God’s children. If you are
still in school, you need to be industrious in order to graduate with excellent
grades. If you are serving in God’s ministry, you need to be industrious, so
that you can access the anointing required for doing spiritual exploits. If you
are engaged in business, you need to
be hard-working to make more profits and
access greater business opportunities. If you are in the corporate world, being
industrious will put you on the cutting edge of your career. You need to keep
growing. You need to develop yourself for the glorious future you see ahead of
you. You must not be distracted with those things that will not enhance the
quick actualization of your God-given dreams. There is no need losing your head
over what you don’t have. What you have is more than enough for your breakthrough.
Never be afraid of starting small. Ask the Lord to open your eyes so that you
can multiply the seed in your hands to become a forest.
Key Point
Whatever you don’t value can never add value to you.
God Bless You!
