THE PRINCIPLE OF HARD WORK

The Principle of Hard Work
I know a young man in my undergraduate days at the University who prays harder than anyone I know. He spends most of his days fasting and praying that he hardly had time to study.
In fact, he misses most classes because he was either on the mountain praying or at an outreach.
This attitude is common to most Christians.
Hear the words of Paul to Timothy: "This is why we WORK HARD and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers." - 1 Timothy 4:10
Hoping and trusting in God does not alleviate hard work.
Even though as Children of God our trust is in God, and we pray to Him daily and trust Him for favour, we must not desist from work.
One major principle God Himself does not bend is the principle of Hard work.
If you work hard on the right job, with the right tools, at the right time with the right people, you will succeed.
The Bible says it like this, "Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave." [Proverbs 12:24]
The reason why some Christians are not maximising their potentials is that they lack the balance between their prayer life and their work life.
They leave all the responsibility of their lives to God failing to realise, in every blessing, there is a part to play for both humanity and divinity.
If you play your part, God will surely play His part and the venture becomes a success that brings glory to His name.
Always remember, whatever you fail to take responsibility for will always be out of your reach.
Money will be out of your reach if you don't take responsibility.
Peace will be out of your reach if you fail to take responsibility.
Joy, Influence, Affluence, Wealth, Prosperity, Love, Promotion, Stress-free life, Weight loss... all these will never be within your reach if you fail to take responsibility.
There is a part you must play!
I believe in you.
