A DOUBLE LIFE DOUBLES YOUR SORROWS

A DOUBLE LIFE DOUBLES YOUR SORROWS
PSALM 51:1-19
A former British royal Air force employee has returned a history book to the Malta public library 42 years after he borrowed it and he was rewarded with a cup of coffee. Emie Roscouet, a resident of the channel Islands, packed the book when he left Malta in June 1962 and returned it when his wife gave him a holiday to Malta as his 60th birthday present. He said, “My conscience pricked me all the time and I decided to restitute.” He was actually expecting a fine, but instead he was given a cup of coffee to encourage others to return overdue books.

Proverbs 11:1 says “a false balance is an abomination unto God, but a just weight is his delight.” Try and make your life and daily activities just and right. Return whatever does not belong to you. Pay back whatever you owe. Work for your pay. Stop wasting your official hours, pay your employees, your prosperity is tied to your living right. Don’t allow the devil to lay hold on whatever he can to hinder your prayers and the work of God.

Your success is tied to your character, because your enemy the devil is a formidable accuser looking for every loophole to block you from prospering. Living a double life will slow down your progress by half and double your sorrows. Fight to retain a good name. John Morely said, “no man can climb beyond the limitations of his character. Gehazi’s character limited him.

A double life doubles your sorrows

Wisdom is that extra effort 

The secret of living in contentment

Pursue good daily wherever you. Evangelize your character before seeking for charisma. Philip Brooks  said, “a man who lives right and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.” Drop that wrong relationship. Live so that your friends can defend you, but never have to do so. Do not forget that without holiness, no man can see God. It is hard to climb high when your character is in question.
Prayer
Lord, purge my character to shine as your light as I go out every day of my life, Amen    

WISDOM IS THAT EXTRA EFFORT

WISDOM IS THAT EXTRA EFFORT
GENESIS 26:9-16
There is an anonymous quote I got years ago that has helped my life, it says, “things may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle.” I will add also that, “hustle with wisdom.”

Proverbs 10:4 says that, “the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Proverbs 13:4 says “the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” Diligence means hard work. Any extra touch on the job, school, ministry and home for example, will always make a difference. Determine to work a little harder than others.

The bible declares in proverbs 18:9 that “he that is slothful (lazy) in his work is a great waster.” May you not waste your appointed years on earth. That four-worded sentence, “not slothful in business,” in Romans 12:11, has been propelling my life and ministry and it must be your watch statement all through your life. You must resist satanic lies of discouragement, don’t drop your guard now, keep working! Keep putting extra hours into your life’s assignment and as long as God is still on the throne, the results must show, the difference must appear.

If Isaac in Genesis 26:12, whose father was rich could sow by tilling the hard ground in the desert, despite all the promises of prosperity God gave to his family, then we have no excuse to hang  our sickles. Reject slothfulness and things that waste your destiny.

I admire the words used to promote the Peugeot when it was first introduced into the market, it says, “the right choice and success is not always by luck.” Hard work is always involved. No matter how the year has been, cultivate and till your ground extra more and you would be ahead of your peers by extra days.
PRAISE THE LORD.
Prayer
I forbid all demonic powers from causing my family and I from being slothful in the name of Jesus, Amen.
