Don't just sit there and make positive confessions, get up and put your beliefs to work...
Every act of God are mediums by which his principles and characters are showcased to us. And to live in the abundance of his plans for you, you must be eager to emulate these principles and characters.
"Genesis 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." It is not a coincidence for work to be the first attribute of God revealed to us in the scripture, and this attribute is the source of everything he created. In the same vein, everything he wants you to be is sourced from the " diligence " attribute because you are created in his image. No wonder this is the same instruction he gave to the first man he created. No amount of prayer, fasting, positive confession and religiosity can replace "diligence". Your ignorance sometimes makes it looks to you as if God is unfaithful. But the truth is, God is ever faithful but he will never do for you what he has empowered you to do. According to "Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV) But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day" God has given everyone power to make wealth, but this ability becomes productive when it is put to work. God has given both Christians and non-Christians the ability to be diligent and that is why you see many non-Christians who are diligent, have possessions. Though a man's destiny does not consist in money but in how everything God gives is put to use. But why do non-Christians seem to maximize this ability (diligence) most? Ignorance! Hosea4:6. Your beliefs have not benefited you until you live by it. That's faith. Prov12:11, Prov13:14. If you do not work as a believer, you have denied your faith. 1Tim5:8.
The intention of God creating man in his very nature is to be passionate about everything he's passionate about. "Genesis 1:26 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
God is passionate about his creation, he wants to keep them. In Gen1:28, God instructed man to do the same thing, because he wired him to do so."God will never demand of you what he has not equipped you to do"
God wants you to prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. Your prosperity is not in your accumulated possessions, it's in how many lives you have been able to bless with those provisions. In doing this, you are fulfilling your destiny as God's creation. "replenishing the earth"
When you work, God will supply your needs according to his riches in glory. Phil4:19. But you must not mistake your faith in God to supply your needs with materialism. God promised to supply your needs, but your needs must not be a creation of what others have. Immediately your needs are created by comparing yourself with others, you have been taken over by covetousness.
Work is a way you express your faith based on your Believe in Phil4:19. The nature of faith is not in confession, it is expressed in your actions. You must believe you have everything in Jesus Christ by expressing your right by diligence, to possess what you believe.
Faith which is manifested through diligence is the only means by which you live in the reality of what God has provided in the spirit realm. Don't just sit there idle and keep making positive confessions, get up and put your beliefs to work. Diligence is God's ordained method of expressing your faith. you have been blessed with the ability to be diligent and put it to work. God doesn't bless nothing, he blesses something. Every noble work of your hands shall be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen!
