Nothing Without Labour
“How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.”
(Proverbs 6:9-11)
There is a reward for every labour, positive or negative. The Bible says that we reap what we sow; if you sow corn you reap corn; if you sow yam you reap yam. On the contrary, you do not reap anything if you fail to sow something. In all, life does not encourage us to be lazy. The earth offers diverse forms of profit. But only those people that till their ‘earth; can enjoy the profit of their work. Your mind and your hand are your means of relating with your ‘earth’. Both are the source of your riches. With your mind, you prospect your ground and with your hand, you till it.
There is every assurance of reward if you would find good work to do; rise up to a worthwhile job rather than folding your hands and so allow poverty come on you like a prowler. You should not lazy about your life because that empowers your needs, like an armed man, to hold you to ransom. God has done everything He needed to do for man. He gave him a mind and hands. He created everything that needs to be created and has charged us with the duty of inventions. Your blessing is determined by what you do with your hands. What you do with your ‘ground’, mind, hand and time is what decides your poverty or your riches. What you have is a function of what you do with your hand. If you till your land, you qualify for plenty because plenty answers to work.
Liberation Thought: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy

Prayer:
Oh Lord, give me strength to work and receive the rewards of good labour, I pray in the name of Jesus.
I speak to every seed I have sown and I command you to yield a mighty harvest in Jesus Name!
Let every pest that is assigned to destroy my harvest be consumed by fire!
