Miracle happens, things can easily come
your way and you can get what you did not even work for. Yes, these things are
possible occurrence on earth but must not always be. Their might still be situation
where you need to put in effort. I mean work hard before a tangible result can
come out of that situation. Those situations demand, that we search; that we
learn and that we use our experience, wisdom and knowledge in handling such.
Some modern Christians, somehow have
develop that attitude of laziness in doing work. Some Christians now think that success is a luck, just a luck
that comes to whoever she wishes. They forgot that even in the time of Prophet Moses
that manna did fell for some time and then seize to fall and God allowed the Israelite
to work for their well-being. We can’t not over emphasize the need to work in
the modern time. It encompasses a lot of thing, starting from financial to
spiritual. Chapels of various churches are now empty, longing for the presence
of humanity. The prophet of the old do leave their various homes to the
bush/mountain for prayers. That even in the time of Moses, the story says that
his whole body was glorious and shining into the eyes of the people that they
cover their faces with clothes because of the intensity of the glory. Esther left
her comfort and luxury that is due to queen and went on sackcloth, fasting and
praying for the victory that she latter gain over Harman who wants to kill the Israelite in that town. Starting from Daniel even to
Nuh all denied themselves one thing or the other.
In our
own time Jesus came and taught everyone who cares to learn the need of having a
separate time with oneself. The need of going up to the mountain, the need of
knowing that which is more important . the bible says that He was like us in
all thing.
Jesus story is a success story. Many times
the bible recorded of Him praying in a separate place. Is on the occasion of Him
ending His fasting and praying that He was tempted by satan; while He was
praying in the mountain He transfigured and the prophet were with him; yet
again while He was praying that His sweat turned to blood.
So today try leaving that crew and go into
the chapel, to a lone place; pray your
way out. You don’t know the power you have in you until you begin to use it. More
over been able to live that comfort zone tell a lot about your ability to have
control over things that concerns you, the ability to stripe away all
unnecessary thing and work on that which of eternal benefit; your ability to
master things around you. That when a student begins to read not lazing about,
the student will begin to excel. That when a business man knows the secret of his business success and practices
it, he will begin to succeed. That when a Christian recognizes the importance
of good work, fasting and praying in a Christian life, he will not relent in
doing good, fasting and praying in season and out of season. You can do it, it
is a matter of decision and sticking to it, no matter what the flesh or anybody
is sayings about it. Just be focus and continue moving forward.
