Today’s Message: The Reward of Diligence

Share

Today’s Scripture

“…the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied.”
(Proverbs 13:4, AMPC)

The Reward of Diligence

God longs to pour out His favor and blessing on you. He longs to show you His goodness and provision. He promises to do His part, but you have to do your part, too. You have to be diligent. First of all, be diligent in seeking His ways and following His commands. Then, be diligent with what you have in your hand, with your time and resources.

In Matthew, Jesus tells a parable about three men whose employer entrusted them with some money called talents. Two of the men were diligent and invested the talents and received a great return. The third man was afraid and buried what he was given. The first two men were rewarded and praised for their diligence while the third man was rebuked.

Follow the example of the first two men and look for ways to be diligent with what you have in your hand. Whatever you do, do it with excellence. Be the best you can be and go the extra mile even when you think it goes unnoticed. Understand that when people don’t notice, God notices and promises to reward the appetite of the diligent.

A Prayer for Today

“Heavenly Father, thank You for Your favor and blessing on my life. Today I choose to be diligent. I choose to live in excellence and do everything to the best of my ability. I give You all the glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

  1. Humans have killed over a 100 million humans – In the name of what?

    WAKE UP!
    Look around you the world is run by a system of divide and conquer – We are conned to choose sides and then kill each other in the name of profit.

    Politics makes your choose sides – sports makes your choose sides – banks make you choose sides – your skin color makes your choose sides – medicine makes your choose sides.

    Religion makes us choose sides.

    Look around you – People fear a unity accross the human race – They fear people uniting in the name of LOVE and PEACE.

    The time has come to wake up from this dream of seperation…

  2. Stand firm in your faith. Believe in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God. Be diligent and stay alert. The Kingdom of God is nigh and before the Saviour returns in great glory, the devil will continue to work in the evil hearts of men. Love one another and have courage. May God be with you all.

  3. Thank You Jesus for choosing Zambia. Thank You for allowing us to be called by Your Name. Continue blessing us and giving us Your favour and Love. Let us use this powerful position to strengthen our faith in You and bring other nations to You. Let us forever be diligent in this our mission. Amen!
