THE FORCE OF DILIGENCE || BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO

Kingdom keys17:30

Transcription

Slaughterfulness is the destroyer of destiny. Nothing works without somebody at work. Walk, God the Father. Walk. God doesn't walk. So where are you coming from? You'll find believers doing nothing. "I'm believing God. I'm believing God." God is just laughing.

Whatever your hand find it to do with all your mind. People are just hiding on that nonsense they call it faith. Those who place pleasure before labor, they live perpetually under pressure. Unveiling the fundamentals of success. Now, let me repeat again that success, outstanding success, never-heard-of kind of success. It's not your ambition, it's your birthright. You are redeemed as the light of the world, the salt of the earth, our city, central heat that cannot be hidden. So, it's, it's not that you're very ambitious or you're over-ambitious. No, you're not ambitious at all. It's your path, right? Redemption is ordained to reposition you and I on top of the wall. Well, not all men can receive these same because of they have allowed their present circumstances to be clowned. They are only minds. What is a man looking for? That to eat and drink and then [Music] send children to school. That's enough. Sometimes it's more than enough, more than we need to send children to school. Send one to school, send one to the farm. He negotiates you out of your inheritance. You saw how Satan through Pharaoh was negotiating the freedom of Israel. If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11 and verse 2, 3. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? So we need to be conscious of the foundation to every provision of scriptures. So we don't, we don't, we won't miss out. One of the fundamentals of success is the force of diligence. Diligence, his naked, naked name is hard work. Hard work. It has no software or software Christians. Hard work means working hard even though you are led to the world order to shine with global relevance. Yet you will think without hard work. Slaughterfulness is a destroyer of destiny. Nothing works without somebody at work. And God finished his work. Genesis chapter 2, verse 1, 2, 3. Some fellows, they are celebrating their vision and they're leaving frustration. Why? You don't wrong. No vision will see the light of day. Let him run down, reading, and keep running, and don't stop running. From the seat, fulfilled Jesus saying to them, "My meat is to do the will of Him and to finish His work." Work. God the Father. Walk. God doesn't work. So where are you coming from? There are too many idle people in the body of Christ today. Are too many idle people. They call themselves full-time players, a prayer minister, some of them, but they are full-time players. [Music] Your five believers doing nothing. "I'm believing God. I'm believing God." God is just laughing. So I will vote for you happy and believe in me. I'll cook for you. If a man does not provide for his house, everywhere his own household has denied the face, and it's worse than an infidel. Foster mother, five, eight. Yet he who does not work, let him know it. So how can he provide for his house? Second time, you don't walk, you're not permitted to eat. So how can you not provide for your house? Wake up, my friend. One young man in Liberia said he read from my little booklet, Wisdom Diary on Diligence. Living without walking is dying without knowing. Living without walking is dying without knowing. Living without walking. Okay, I'm looking for a job in an oil company. Okay, do the company. You see now, whatever you can find out to do, if you want to eat, do it with all your might. This purported global minister has taught in primary school before. Amen. No damn time for me now. I'm not teaching the entire world from one spot. Wake up. I don't get a job in the bank. I won't work. You won't eat. When I start a bank, what do people just do for anybody? Things. I want a job in foreign mission, minister of foreign affairs. What's that one? They don't have because. And that's where you must work. And next time you don't have frequency until you're not qualified for interview anymore. Whatever you are finding to do with all your might. People are just hiding on that nonsense they call it faith. [Music] Jesus is the author, a definition of our faith. Jesus said, "I must work." Come and say, "I must." John 9:4. "I must work." Now, Jesus, the author of faith, said, "My Father worked in that too, and I worked." So where is your faith coming from? I'm generously guiding these fundamentals in my life. That's why things are working. Somebody said, "Take it easy." If I took it, would you be here? If I take it easy, you do it. Will you be here? I want your taste for work to come alive. I want your taste for work to come alive. She is the man that is diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings. He shall not stand before. Amen. I got that gift, 1982, that Jesus gave to me. This your hand has been fully to shake all kinds of hands in this world. Demonic hands, business leaders, political leaders, presidents of nations. Amen. See us diamond that is diligent in his business. Well, what time? I will prepare you. Say, "I'm preparing it now." Not that I just started with zeal and zest and no sleep. The way of heart and not from God. Now, that telephone came. People have lost their work ethics to telephony. Hello, are you hearing me? Okay, I'll call you back. Hello. That a non-business connected or related cause. People are just so relaxed on the phone. What's the matter? When I call team members, I just go straight. [Music] Not hello. He has quickly that's hello. [Music] And he knows I'm not calling. So what is the point introducing myself? Life in the kingdom of praise on the covenant platform of sit time and harvest. [Music] You'll never get out of life more than what you are committed to invest into it. Why the attributes? See time and habits are not seized. Now, listen. Position does not collude relevance. Otherwise, all these appointments here and there that people have in public sector and corporate sector, why has it not enhanced the relevance? There's no position, it's contribution. The your product, your value, or to bring it on board. [Music] There are many founders of churches and ministers who are suffering. Our members are putting towards what they teach and their their own faith. Amen. And their triumph. They don't think that teaching affects them. They can't do it for the people. No, you are part of the people. Jesus is the one teacher because your Father is the one that speaks in you. So He's speaking to all of you, including the one that's speaking. Let's wake up and take responsibility. Nothing works without someone at work. There is nothing in doing nothing. The slogan shall know. So the reason you could therefore shall leave beg in harvest and have nothing. Beg in harvest and have nothing. You sow spiritually, you disappearingly, you so bountifully, you really. People think it applies only to giving. No, it applies to investment of your time and again resources. You sow spirulina, you listen, you so bountifully, really bountifully. Only hard workers emerge as high flyers in the race of life. Only hard workers. There's a young man by name, um, Isaac Newton. He was so busy in stability at home. The wife set the food and called him. Uh, happy at the moment, he forgot. He got so busy. So when he remembered, "Oh, I was called the other time for food." So I came in and saw that they have cleared the food to keep it warm. Or I forgot about eating. I have a, you get a joke. I forgot that I've eaten. People so lazy today that food is upon us. They sit down around food as if there is an entertainment. I remember my, is it one birthday like that? My birthday. [Music] I was already crossing and writing a note in my dad. Today, today's my birthday. My girl. So I called my wife from menu and I said, "You didn't remind me that today my buddy." She also forgot. Amen. People have told me their body more than 20 times. If I have to put all of that in my calendar every day, however four folk, four bad days or six. So if you see me, when is your body? Tell me. But I can't load all of that. It's limited. Amen. How can you forget? I said, "I forgot my own." So what's your problem? Now, watch Jesus, a hard worker, and the Holy Ghost, eternal worker. He shall abide with you forever. "I'll send you a Comforter, and He will abide with you forever." You can read that from John chapter 14, number 16 to 18. Forever. And doing what? He will teach you all things. About 26 million remembrance, all things. Whatever you have heard of me. So is He? Is He forever worker? So God the Father, a creative worker. God is a tireless worker. God, the Holy Ghost, a forever worker. And they live in you. So where did you get your own from? Faith is no substitute for hard work. [Music] Those who place pleasure before labor, they live perpetually under pressure. [Music] It is labor before pleasure. Prepare their work in the field, make it fit for thyself, and afterwards build their house. Proverbs 27. And afterwards build their house. You prepare your work first in the field. [Music] You make it fit. What I say? And then you can build your house. Get that scripture from me. It is labeled before pleasure. Or you live perpetually under pleasure. He that loved pleasure shall be a woman be the lord. One and only shall not be rich. Don't take it easy. Take it hard, or you miss your place. One to them that are at ease in Zion. A child that sleeps in harvest. He served asleep. Services and that causes you. Let's wake up and walk while it is day. The night comes when no man can walk. There is no star without his car. I often say, and this car of sacrifice, I mean, this, this car of every star is sacrificed. There are those who have never read their best. Talking is going to be on their best. Let's wake up and enjoy it. Let's enjoy it. It's the gift of God. Come and say, "What is a gift?" Not a curse. Work is a gift. Billy Graham once said, "All temptations, I mean, sometimes you shall come to all men. Some temptations come to all men, but all temptations come to the idol." Whatever your hand find there to do, you engage with all your might. What you are looking for is not there yet, but make the most of what you have now. Engage maximally in it, and then experience a change of story in Jesus' precious name.
