MAKE A NEW START BY DILIGENCE – SMART WORK THAN HARD WORK: IT WILL ALWAYS PAY GOOD DIVIDEND!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“He who has a SLACK HAND becomes POOR, But the HAND of the DILIGENT makes RICH [PROSPERS]”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 10:4\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The HAND of the DILIGENT will RULE [EMPOWER], But the LAZY [SLUGGARD, SLOTHFUL, PROCRASTINATOR] man will be put to FORCED [SLAVE] LABOR”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 12:24\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligence is about being consistently consistent,\u00a0achieving\u00a0productive\u00a0results\u00a0within time and budget.\u00a0It’s\u00a0also\u00a0about\u00a0unwavering\u00a0commitment\u00a0and dedication to\u00a0a task,\u00a0through planning\u00a0for\u00a0effectiveness\u00a0and\u00a0efficiency. And God by the\u00a0scripture’s\u00a0honours\u00a0DILIGENCE and DILIGENT WORK; and a DILIGENT\u00a0PERSON\u00a0PROSPERS\u00a0in every RESPECT. A DILIGENT hand enriches, empowers, rules,\u00a0and\u00a0takes\u00a0charge,\u00a0unlike a lazy, sluggard, slothful, procrastinator\u00a0who\u00a0falls\u00a0behind. For God rewards DILIGENCE as\u00a0it’s\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that COMETH to God MUST BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY NOBLE); he shall not STAND before MEAN [SLUGGARD, SLOTHFUL, LAZY, PROCRASTINATOR, UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED] men”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 22:29\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Diligence is about WORKING SMART in\u00a0FAITH,\u00a0not WORKING HARD in FATE. Effectual dividend comes through the FAITH Communication in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the glorious, goodness and gracious greatness\u00a0that’s\u00a0done in you, in Christ Jesus stead. The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to PLENTY [ABUNDANCE] and it ENRICHES [PROSPERS] without daydreaming as in the Holy Writs context:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU IN Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0Philemon 1:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The soul of a LAZY man\u00a0desires, and\u00a0has nothing; But the soul of the DILIGENT shall be made RICH”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 13:4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to PLENTY,\u00a0but\u00a0those of everyone who is HASTY, surely to POVERTY”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 21:5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being diligently smart or\u00a0saying\u00a0working smart or SMARTWORKING is far better than working hard or HARDWORKING – which either way you intend to phrase it.\u00a0It’s\u00a0simply for these few reasons though not limited, that I earnestly recommend you work smart – SMARTWORKING instead of\u00a0hard work\u00a0– HARDWORKING:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
