WISDOM IS THAT EXTRA EFFORT
GENESIS 26:9-16
There is an anonymous quote I got years ago that has helped my life, it says, “things may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle.” I will add also that, “hustle with wisdom.”

Proverbs 10:4 says that, “the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Proverbs 13:4 says “the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” Diligence means hard work. Any extra touch on the job, school, ministry and home for example, will always make a difference. Determine to work a little harder than others.

The bible declares in proverbs 18:9 that “he that is slothful (lazy) in his work is a great waster.” May you not waste your appointed years on earth. That four-worded sentence, “not slothful in business,” in Romans 12:11, has been propelling my life and ministry and it must be your watch statement all through your life. You must resist satanic lies of discouragement, don’t drop your guard now, keep working! Keep putting extra hours into your life’s assignment and as long as God is still on the throne, the results must show, the difference must appear.

If Isaac in Genesis 26:12, whose father was rich could sow by tilling the hard ground in the desert, despite all the promises of prosperity God gave to his family, then we have no excuse to hang  our sickles. Reject slothfulness and things that waste your destiny.

I admire the words used to promote the Peugeot when it was first introduced into the market, it says, “the right choice and success is not always by luck.” Hard work is always involved. No matter how the year has been, cultivate and till your ground extra more and you would be ahead of your peers by extra days.
PRAISE THE LORD.
Prayer
I forbid all demonic powers from causing my family and I from being slothful in the name of Jesus, Amen.
