Hello highly esteemed steemians. I would love to take this time to quickly share some thoughts with us.
Proverbs 22:29 (KJV)
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
There are basic Laws that God has laid down to govern the activities of the earth. These Laws, when put to use, be it a CHRISTIAN or not, works.
One of such Laws is "Diligence".
It's amazing how the circular world has taken so much advantage of this law to their benefit. They have produced so well from being diligent just because, they believe they are their own god. They believe if they want anything, all they need to do is put their minds on it, be diligent and they will surely get, and truthfully they get it done.
And most of them have used this to create and establish an ungodly system of life that is presently fighting against the spread of the gospel today.
But on the other hand, we Christians that so much believe in the supremacy of God have allowed the availability of grace distract us from putting the fullness of the power in the Law of diligence to work. Most of us just spend time praying and believing without getting on the field to work.
Faith without works is dead. No matter how much you talk the "faith proclaimations" everyday, if you do not get out of your bed and work out those proclamations, you will get no result... You will get nothing...
Diligence is a Law that produce result for anyone that put it to work... It's the moves that demonstrate your faith for that which you believe.
All your prayers ( no matter how intense it is ) are always answered by God even before you even prayed but it is only made manifest when you get up and put your faith to WORK
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
James 2:18 AMP
But someone may say, “You [claim to] have faith and I have [good] works; show me your [alleged] faith without the works [if you can], and I will show you my faith by my works [that is, by what I do].”

You will spend the energy of your mind on it, You will spend your time seeking knowledge and strategies to become better in that dream of yours.

You cannot say you want to be the best medical doctor and you do not give diligence into it...
No matter what you want or want to become, you must be ready to die to yourself for the birth of that dream to happen. You must die to anything and everything that would distract you or put you in the circle of excuses.
God bless you all and I love you all.
