It Requires Diligence

Sunday 20th March, 2016

Diligence simply means consistency in doing the Right Things. Diligence is needed as it relates to character formation. Diligence is what you do behind the scenes as you use the tablets of character Development.

You can never know the secret of a champion by watching how he fights. You only find out his secret while he is training vigorously day by day as he prepares for the big day. So, you may have decided to stop getting to work, church or lectures late. What you do behind the scenes will determine if this will turn out to be a reality. Do you prepare your clothes, bags, shoes and other things the night  before? Do you think through the possible obstacles to achieving the goal?  Change and growth does not happen via Wishes. It happens through decision and consistent action.

Yours could differ, perhaps its talking too much, borrowing unnecessarily, cheating others or being disrespectful. Start praying and thinking of what to do behind the scenes to get the required results. It is consistency in doing the Right Things that will guarantee results in the long run.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to be consistent in the right things as it relates to the areas of the Development of my character in Jesus Name.

Grow in Grace,

Hello Friends,

Do have A Fruitful Week Ahead.

FACTS ABOUT VISION-8

Yesterday we learnt about the place of Vision and Exposure. Today we'd learn about Diligence.

VISION DEMANDS DILIGENCE

What keeps a car moving is motion. That motion connotes Diligence. Albert Einstein said of himself at one time that "I don't consider myself a genius, I just stick to a problem long enough". Through his stick-ability which is just another expression for Diligence he was able to solve great scientific problems and provided the theory that led to the birth of the Aviation industry.

His Diligence and staying power led to great discoveries that still baffle the world of science today. In the journey of Vision you can't afford to be Shallow. Be ready to dig deep. You can't strike oil on the surface but only deep beneath. Consistency, Diligence in your approach will lead to the expected end. The distance between the Revelation of Vision and its Manifestation may be 5, 15,20 or more years. Such a distance can only be covered by choosing to remain diligent.

The book of Proverbs of Solomon has many things to say about the Diligent. In one it says."Seest thou a man diligent in his business,he will stand before kings and not mere men". It also says " The hand of the Diligent shall bear rule". Again it says "The thoughts of the Diligent leads to plenteousness".

There's always great benefit in being Diligent in your 'Business' I.e. your Purpose, God's assignment for your life.

ACTION POINT
1. Take time out to study all what the book of Proverbs has to say about Diligence.
2. Identify key areas where you've been lacking behind and choose to be steadfast Diligent in those areas.
