It is not enough to make confessions and then lay around and do nothing.
Slack = lack
Diligence = wealth
Cast your bread (seed) upon the waters for you will find it in many days. (Eccl. 11:1) You don't have to sweat and pray to make that seed multiply. The miracle of increase is God's job. Our job is to sow the seed. God's job is to make the seed sprout, grow and yield crops and finally we put in the sickle and reap the harvest.
Quit begging, whining and pleading. When you pray, believe you receive!
The highest form of power in the earth is PRAYER.
The lowest form of power is MONEY. The world thinks money is the highest formof power there is.
Receiving wealth is not automatic. We have to SOW and REAP
A good sower must be a good reaper.
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Galations 6:7-9)
Plant the crop, wait for the due season and keep standing until it comes God's way.
If you are lazy, you won't reap.
If you look at the clouds and are swayed by them, you won't reap.
If you get weary and tired of standing, you won't reap.
26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” (Mark 4:26-29)
Man plants the seed. God multiplies the seed. Man reaps the harvest.
Whatsoever things you ask when you pray, believe you receive (take by faith) them and you will have them. (Mrk 11:24)
Laziness gets in the way of your being able to access what God has for you.
Learn to WALK in faith.
EXERCISE patience (maturity).
Follow someone who through faith and patience, inherited the promise.
Peace comes when we acknowledge God in all our endeavors.
