SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY – It’s A Diligent Lifestyle!

Proverbs 22:29”Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men”

Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

Colourful living is not for the slothful or sluggard; be it known that good success and prosperous Ministry is not for the lazy, idle-minded, lazy people and wishful thinkers but for the diligent.

Diligence is a consistent steady and smart effort, focus to achieve or attain a given task or life goals and pursuit.  And it’s for those who are passionate and want to reign in their desired field of call in life and ministry as nobles – (kings and king-makers) and not as obscure. Meaning it’s not for the lazy and lay-about gangsters.

Progress in life calls for the pressing, hence great foundation and established good success is recorded on diligent plans, purpose and pursuit. Diligence involves investing your abilities, strengths and all about you into the pursuit of your called mission. God will only prosper the works of your hand, not your calling. He only prospers your calling through prospering your diligent efforts.

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

IDLENESS is a career for some and carrier of POVERTY and it can only be remedy through diligence. Therefore invest in labour and reap the great harvest of God in your calling. Yours is the task of planting and watering, God’s task is to bring the increase and overflow.

I Corinthians 3:6-7 “I (Paul) have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”

Every Blessing!
