Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
In our world today, there are wrong attitude people cultivate that kill their destiny. One of these attitudes is indolence or lackadaisical approach to life. It is slackness in handling the matters of life.
Today, people are sluggish when they come to church. Many people even drag their feet sluggishly to the altar when the call to surrender their lives to Christ is made. Instead of running forward, some of them even put their hands in their pocket chewing gum.
Some pastors do not see the need to come to church on time. They come to church when praise and worship has gone very far or when it has just ended. They see the activity of praise as child’s play.
Today, you can see a full-grown young man still sleeping in his father’s house by 9 a.m. He doesn’t do anything at home; he can’t wash cars or do chores.
Some young ladies do not even know the way to the kitchen; they cannot cook food.
One reason why some children run down their father’s business after inheriting it is that they lack the hard work and discipline that made their father great.
The question is, what is that attitude in your life that can kill your destiny? Do you find yourself being lazy, lackadaisical, and slothful towards life and destiny?
Proverbs 10:5 says,
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
The New Living Bible renders Proverbs 10:5 this way:
A wise youth works hard all summer; a youth who sleeps away the hour of opportunity brings shame. Laziness or slothfulness is a wrong attitude that kills destiny.
Beloved, God is asking you to wake up. Wake up with a higher sense of urgency and tenacity. Refuse to sleep away your opportunities in life so you can escape a lifetime of shame and frustration.
Remember this: Laziness or slothfulness is a wrong attitude that kills destiny.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Refuse to be lazy or slothful through life.
- Equip yourself with the attitude of diligence and discipline.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to be disciplined and diligent. Deliver me from any tendency for laziness and slothfulness Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: The God-first mentality is what I call an incurable addiction to God; a brutal dedication to God. It is a situation in your life where God is first and last and everything else is in-between. Culled from the book, “21 Uncommon Keys To Financial Overflow” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Mark 2-4
