One of the biggest weapons of the devil is the phrase “all things being equal”. Let me ask, can your five fingers ever be equal? If the best time to take that step you have always dreamt of is tomorrow then that time may never come because there will always be a tomorrow. If your reason for waiting is because of the global economic recession then you may have to wait longer because, all things can never be equal in this life.

A man and his friend were on a voyage, then came turbulent storms and mighty waves. He asked his friend “what should we do, should we keep going or stop and pray” the friend answered and said “let’s row and pray” and that was how they eventually safe-landed. Must people have become victims of stop-and-pray? The Bible speaking in James 2: 14 says “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? (NKJV) No, because faith alone without work makes one irresponsibly lazy.

It is evident that the devil is out to ensure that no positive dream and vision conceived sees the light of day by raising unprecedented adversaries (1Cor16:9) Yet waiting for a better day to do anything equals surrendering to the devil which is highly unscriptural. Redeeming the time because the days are evil (EPH 5 :16) I.e. the evil of this day that could not stop you waking up this morning cannot also stop you from achieving whatever you’ve set your faith to launch onto.

This is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith…1John5:4. Already you have victory now get up, work and walk as one who has got victory and don’t just seat there and profess your faith. The devil only submits to those who work faith and not those who only talk faith. You don’t wait for your ship to come to you, rather you swim to meet your ship. Start shaping your own day now.

If two people were given a plot of land to cultivate, one is an unbeliever while the other a believer. The unbeliever goes ahead to do his planting appropriately while the believer only ended up going to the land to make faith declarations every morning without planting. Who will eventually experience a
Bumper harvest? Christianity should not make anybody lazy. The world is expecting our testimonies and not our stories. May God grant us a deeper understanding of His word in Jesus name.

Take this last word: ANY FAITH THAT MAKES GOD ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR EVERYTHING IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE FAITH!

Have a most rewarding day, In Jesus matchless name!
