ACT NOW “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” Ecclesiastes 11:4. Ideas have a short shelf life – that is why we must act before the expiration date. ‘Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there…’ says Arthur Godfrey. Putting off a simple thing makes it hard; and putting off a hard thing makes it impossible. Sometimes, delayed obedience is disobedience, according to Isaiah 1:19. Apart from the fact that discouragement is the natural consequence of any delayed action, no one is actually getting any younger, and the older you become, the lesser your strength becomes and the narrower your chances of getting some things done or accomplished. Let me ask you this question: why do we not jump at opportunities as quickly as we jump at conclusions? Anybody who brags about what he is going to do tomorrow probably did the same yesterday. Few things are more dangerous to a person’s character than having nothing to do and plenty of time to do it. Wasting time is wasting life! You can never have peace of mind if you have unfinished work and work not yet begun. ‘Good resolutions are like babies crying in church; they should be carried out immediately,’ says Charles M. Sheldom. The lazier a person is, the more he is going to do tomorrow. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. Today is the day to start. It is always too soon to stop. Many times we are not to understand, just obey. Tackle any difficulty at first sight, for the longer you gaze at it, the bigger it becomes. Finally, be jealous of your time; it is your greatest treasure. Remember, destiny delayed is the devil’s delight. Your destiny shall not be aborted in Jesus’ name. Amen. God bless you! Have a fruitful day! Prophetic Prayers Oh Lord, by your power, silence fear permanently in me so I can advance in destiny in Jesus’ name. I hereby now pronounce death sentence on forces that are feasting on my destiny in Jesus’ name. Spirit of God, make me a smart person. Let me always know what to do, where to do it, when and how to do it in Jesus’ name. Oh Lord, force me out of the cocoon of fear and ignorance in Jesus’ name.
