Pro 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
\nPro 24:31 and there it was, all overgrown with thorns; its surface was covered with nettles; its stone wall was broken down.<\/p>\n
The natural law of planting and harvesting forms the guiding principle for kingdom blessings. It will be extraordinarily outrageous for one to expect blessings for work not done.<\/p>\n
A slothful person dislikes work or any form of physical exertion. The writer made a visit to a vineyard of a lazy person. He found out that it was neglected; it was all overgrown with thorns, it’s surface was covered with nestles ; it’s stone wall was broken down. The owner was going to harvest very little or no harvest at all.<\/p>\n
Whether you are a teacher, a gardener, an entrepreneur, a construction worker, a Pastor, a house wife or a security officer, work is rooted in God’s good creation and should reflect his glory. There are no blessings for work not done. God works through your work. Col 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men …for you are serving the Lord’s Christ.<\/p>\n
