Leave That Comfort Zone

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.
