LAZINESS 2


 *Text:* Proverbs 19:24.


 *The lazy person buries his hand in his dish and doesn’t bother to bring it back to his mouth.* 


While Jesus was addressing the one-talent man in the parable of the talent,  He referred to Him as an evil and lazy person. Mathew 25: 26.That is, whoever refuses to do his assignment in God's kingdom is not only lazy but also evil.


Eventually, when verdict was passed on this man, I'm sure it was more than he bargained for-

Jesus said "throw this useless servant into the darkness outside! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” Mathew 25:30 ISV.


 *Laziness is not just a vice that can make life unpalatable for her host here on earth,  it's a sin that can lead one to hell.* 


James  4:17  says *Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.* 


A lazy person cannot inherit the promise of God.

Hear this submission from Hebrews 6:11 &12 -But we want each of you to continue to be diligent to the very end, in order to give full assurance to your hope.Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.


In this kingdom (God's kingdom) there's no room for laziness. Jesus said in John 5:17 that , “My Father has been working until now, and I too, am working.” The least you can do is to be like your father. Our father is not lazy, Jesus our Master is not lazy, you can't afford to be lazy.


 *BIBLE READING* : 


Matthew 25:14-30.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. I receive grace to be diligent in all my endeavours.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
