You reign by working! This is where a lot in the body of Christ have missed it. They tend to want to substitute work with prayers. But you don’t reign by praying, you reign by working! Prayers are spiritual wishes, and if wishes were horses, all beggars would ride. The Bible says only the diligent shall bear rule; and the slothful shall be under tribute and the Scriptures cannot be broken!
Work is a commandment even in the Bible: Read John 9:4 from your Bible
In Luke 18:1, Jesus spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint. This was an advice, not a command. But when it came to work, He said, “I must work.” It is not recorded anywhere in the Bible where Jesus said, “I must pray.” This is because if you do whatever He tells you to do, you won’t need prayers to get Him committed.
Read Proverbs 22:29 from your Bible
Diligent in his business, not diligent in prayers. Your disobedience to His command to work is what is making you spend countless and needless hours in laborious prayers. A student who would not study for his exams, but spend hours praying will still end up a failure.
You commit God to your matter when you diligently operate covenant principles. Diligence is one of the principles for success on the earth. If you don’t work, you can’t climb unto your covenant throne of success.
Jesus said, “I must work.” He didn’t stop there, He also said, “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” So, God the Father is working, Jesus the Son and Messiah is working; who then are you taking after, if you go about wasting your life through laziness and idleness?
Work authenticates faith (James 2:18). Faith is not what God will do, but acting upon what God says in order to establish the desires of your heart. Do you want success? Then listen to what He says you should do to be successful and go ahead to do it. What does He say? Work! You are either a worker or you are worthless.
Work is of God, hard work is His will. Success is a structure which every individual has to build. No man’s good will is strong enough to make any man a success. There is no future in idleness, no lazy man has a future in the kingdom.
Friend, life doesn’t answer to wishers, only to workers! It is better to pray soft and work hard than to pray hard and work soft. In the covenant, the harder you work, the more profit comes your way.
When you spend time praying for success without working, you are not praying according to the will of God, so you won’t get an answer. But when you do what He tells you to do, a miracle answers to you automatically. Go and work, the city is big enough to accommodate your success!
Get to work, it’s your only hope to reign on this earth! A wise man once said, “The train of failure usually runs on the track of laziness. The only preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.”
Hardwork will pave way for you. It doesn’t kill, it only refines. Receive the grace for tireless and fruitful labour right now, in Jesus’ mighty name!
Shalom!
