Work Hard

4/22/15

- Your attitude determines your joy -- "The diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work." (Proverbs 12:24 MSG) 

- You can't succeed in life until you change your attitude about the work you are doing right now. Romans 12:11 says, "Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically." (NLT)

- Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NLT)

- And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? (Luke 16:11 NLT)

- Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave. (Proverbs 12:24 NLT)

S: “So fear the LORD and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD alone. (Joshua 24:14 NLT)

The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God. We will obey him alone.” (Joshua 24:24 NLT)

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. (Proverbs 13:20 NLT)

O: My attitude toward work needs to be changed. It's not about John or BU. it's about joy, diligence, freedom, serving God with enthusiasm. When it done unto God it will be done well. It will prove I am trustworthy with worldly wealth therefore will be trusted with the true riches of heaven. It's time to work and work hard to be the leader I know I can be instead of being lazy as someone's slave. 

A: The time is now to fear the Lord above man. To serve the Lord not be a slave to man. It's time I stop idolizing man as generations before me have done. I can, I will, I must serve God and serve him only. I will serve God alone and obey him. I am wise, therefore must walk among the wise. If I continue to associate with fools, even the foolishness of man, I will get into trouble and never be trusted with wealth. 

P: God I know you have blessed some beyond what I have dreamed or even imagined. It's time I walk in that blessing!!!! Thank you God for revealing to me the shift I need to make in my attitude. My quest for wealth is not about Johns ego. It's not about the success journey through BU or my idolizations of both. My wealth is about you. Serving you with enthusiasm in all that I do. It's time I work hard as a leader and stop being a lazy slave to man. I am worth more. I praise you oh God for what you are about to do for me and my family. Open the doors that need to be open and close the doors that need to be closed. Again I come to you about my husbands salvation. Only you know Lord. Only you can lead him into your presence for an out pour of his spirit. Be with his soul and reveal your will for his life. I praise you for all you do seen and unseen God. May u live my life as a testimony of your sovereignty. May my actions speak louder than my words about grace and mercy. In Jesus name!
