Laziness

on January 18, 2020

Good morning today is the 18th day of the Daniel Fast and our focus is LAZINESS.

As Christians we are to be workers in the natural and the spirit realm. Laziness should not be named among us. When we don’t work, we don’t have a sense of purpose and we become idle. When we don’t work, we find ourselves in conversations gossiping about everything and everybody. If we have all this energy to sit around and gossip, then we need to use that energy to work. We should not be walking around fat and full if we refuse to work and the Bible says to leave those folks alone who doesn’t want to work.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 (TLB) Now here is a command, dear brothers, given in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ by his authority: Stay away from any Christian who spends his days in laziness and does not follow the ideal of hard work we set up for you. For you well know that you ought to follow our example: you never saw us loafing; we never accepted food from anyone without buying it; we worked hard day and night for the money we needed to live on, in order that we would not be a burden to any of you. It wasn’t that we didn’t have the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to show you firsthand how you should work for your living. Even while we were still there with you, we gave you this rule: “He who does not work shall not eat.” Yet we hear that some of you are living in laziness, refusing to work, and wasting your time in gossiping. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we appeal to such people—we command them—to quiet down, get to work, and earn their own living.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Pastor Brown
