THE BLESSEDNESS OF HARD WORK


DEUTERONOMY 28: 1-2
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

God’s blessing is always with hard working people, God works and that make him a lover of diligent worker. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper Psalm 1:3, Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men Proverbs 22:29, And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you 1 Thess 4:11

In year 2000 I volunteered to be part of the (EYC) ECWA Youth Camp official, a yearly ECWA church youth camp programme held at Eye nkorin, I was to be part of the camp security for the period of camping. On appointment I remembered that some years back I once was just a camper but that year it was my turn to be a leader and I reminded myself of how I used to call camp officials names and made fun of them though never disobeyed nor once rude to anyone of them. I started out as an ordinary camp official carrying out my assigned duties but I ended up working in most of the units and making things work, I was so thorough to the extent that I personally followed through with other officials’ assignment just to make sure there was no flaw in all those activities assigned to them. In some cases I will go to all other posts to check on the others and sometimes serve guests ministers their meal as at when due and go back to pick up the plates after meals. These two guest ministers where watching my thorough activities throughout their stay and on the last day I was summoned into their chalet and after asking me some questions I later got to know that One of the guest ministers was my immediately elders brother’s friend while in the university while the second was my eldest brother’s spiritual son. They both laid hands on and blessed me. The senior guest minister went to my with the news of how I was a blessing and he also blessed me and those blessings have being following me.

Prayer: Anoint with the grace of hard work, so I can qualify for the blessings of hard work (Amen).
Meditation: Proverbs 22:29 Show me someone who does a good job, and I will show you someone who is better than most and worthy of the company of kings. (GNT)
