Memorise: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9.
Read: Proverbs 6:6-8
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which
having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and
gathereth her food in the harvest.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 45:7-46:24 and REVELATION 20:7-21:8
Message
Many believers read or study Bible but never meditate on it. If only you
can find adequate time to ponder on the Word, you will realise that the
solution you need for every issue of life is found in it. Find sometime to
ponder on the recommendation in our Bible reading for today, because anyone who
wants to amount to anything significant in life has a lot to learn from the
ants. Are you already giving up or fainting before time? Then, you have a lot
to learn from the ants. The reason why some people with great potential will
not go far in life is because they are not self-motivated. Motivation has
nothing to do with your height but your mind. Whatever is missing in your mind
cannot be find in your life. If prosperity is not in your mind, it cannot come
into your life. If complaining is always your mindset, possibilities will be
far from you. There is no limitation or barrier that can stop you from becoming
all what God wants you to become, except the one you place on yourself. You
have to make up your mind to lay aside every weight and the sin which easily
besets you ( Hebrew 12:1 ). You must run with patience the race that is set
before you. You must not be weary in well-doing because in a short while, if
you faint not, you will reap that which has been sown. One big lesson you can
draw from the ants is that they are self-motivated. You have to stay motivated
to give your best against all odds. In the midst of animals, the ants do not
struggle to live; they live comfortably. When a man of God does his work the
way it should be done, what he will eat will not be a prayer point. As a
minister , you must see God as your employer because that is what He is. With
this mindset, you will put your trust in God whenever you are dismayed. If you
will ever make it to your goal in life, you have to stay motivated. You have to
devise a strategy of staying on top of your game because what you choose as
your motivation is central to the achievement of your goals. Hope brings
motivation. Hebrews 6:19 says: 'Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;' If you loose all your earthly possessions but retain your hope of better tomorrow,
you will be fine. May your anchor of hope remain intact in Jesus' Name. The
result you get from your effort on anything is at most a function of the
motivating force driving you. Motivation is the forerunner of any tangible
achievement in life. There are people who have good and strong expectations in
life, but when the winds of adversity, doubts and fear begin to blow, quite a
number of them may drift away due to weariness and a fainting spirit. Is your
motivation for a glorious tomorrow still intact? Do you believe all is well
with you despite the reports you are getting today? Keep your hope alive, and
it shall be well with you.
Action Point: Encourage yourself in the Lord. Build up your hope by
pondering on God's faithfulness.
