God's Word on Increase - Work - 1
|
Hello Reader, Imagine if we approached our work with the same fervency and passion as we do our prayers for abundance. How much more progress could we achieve? How many more doors of opportunity could open before us? Think about this: Is it logical to exchange a strong work ethic for fervent prayers alone? Certainly, prayers can unleash a torrent of blessings, but what are they falling upon? A field devoid of seeds? A barren land? Is it not written that "...The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and TO BLESS ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS" (Deuteronomy 28:12) In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves leaning heavily on prayer, seeking God's provision and blessings in every aspect of our lives. And rightly so, for prayer is our direct line of communication with our Heavenly Father, a powerful tool through which we express our hopes, dreams, and needs. However, as we embark on this path of faith, we must remember that prayer alone is not the sole catalyst for the manifestation of God's blessings. You know that, don't you? Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. (Proverbs 12:11) No sense. Ouch! LOL Thomas Edison rightly said, "There is no substitute for hard work." The principle of work and its relationship with abundance is universal, transcending religious affiliations, not exclusive to Christians. Haven't you encountered individuals who disregard matters of faith in God, yet thrive financially? If an unbeliever can achieve success through diligence, how much more can we, as believers? Are we not uniquely positioned in Christ to labour and become exceedingly fruitful under His covenant blessings? Proverbs 12:11 serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of combining our faith with action. It tells us that while prayer is vital, diligence and hard work are equally crucial. It's not enough to simply pray for abundance or success; we must also be willing to put in the effort and work diligently towards our goals. Imagine if we approached our work with the same fervency and passion as we do our prayers for abundance. How much more progress could we achieve? How many more doors of opportunity could open before us? Ann Landers succinctly stated, "Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them." Faith and prayer indeed play significant roles in our journey towards abundance and prosperity, but they must go hand in hand with action. Our faith should ignite within us a drive to work diligently, trusting that God will bless the labor of our hands. Take proactive steps towards our goals. Do not sit idly by, waiting for opportunities to come knocking on your door. Don't stand there waiting for miracle money hahahaha. Instead, seize the gift of work that God has bestowed upon you and labor diligently under grace!

Hey Reader Let me quickly show you how faith works. Find a promise of God in the Bible that covers your case. Tailor your actions to meet its requirements and harmonize your expectations with the assurance it offers. This is the evidence you hold onto till the promise is fulfilled. Declare it boldly! For instance, Mark 16:18 promises that "These signs shall follow them that believe...they shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover". What is required? Believe and lay hands on the...
