TITLE : NO LAZINESS
TEXT:“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11).
An author
on productivity said ‘Great ideas and concepts abound, but when they
are not projected with commitment, they end up as fantasy’. He went
further to say “If a dream must come true somebody must work it out. It
is a great mistake not to commit to the future you like. The difference
between a champion and a common man is commitment.”
Do you aspire to be great in life? Then you mustn’t give place to
laziness and procrastination. Everyone in the world, including you have
twenty-four hours a day within which you must achieve a set goal. Since
time waits for no man, you must engage in profitable ventures. Our text
portrays a balanced youth: not slothful in business — academically and
secularly; fervent in spirit — having a positive enthusiasm in spite of
challenges; and serving the Lord—living a godly life and working for
God. The Scripture reminds us that in all labour there is profit
(Proverbs 14:23). As you avoid laziness, the Almighty God will make you
excel in Jesus` name.
- Challenge: If you aspire to be great in life, avoid idleness.
- Prayer:O Lord, Deliver me from slothfulness.
- Further Reading:Ecclesiastes 9:10
- Quotation:In all labour there is profit.
