Todays Scripture(s) - Proverbs 6:6,9 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: ...How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Sluggard was the word given to me this morning. Sluggard - a person who is habitually inactive or lazy. Not a word that you want to be associated with, is it? Sluggard is akin to Procrastinator. How many of us have been Sluggards in the work that the Lord has put in our hands to do? How many of us have used excuses to not be about the Fathers business? How many of us have sob stories we tell to justify our lagging and lounging and dawdling? How many of us are crying What is my purpose in you Lord and when He tells us to seek Him when He tells us to read and study His word when He tells us to spend time in His presence we put it off and never have the time but our cry is: What is my purpose and destiny in you Lord? We have to push past the place of being comfortable and step out into the place of discomfort. The place of being uncomfortable is the place of preparation. Look here: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. .v6-8. Preparation the Lord does not anoint us with His Anointing for us to sit still and do nothing and the Lord will not anoint us with His Anointing if we are not in the place of preparation. What is preparation? Preparation is an act of preparing, the state of being prepared - properly expectant, organized, or equipped; ready. Someone else cannot prepare you, they can give you instruction but it is you who will have to put in the work. Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. The rain of the Fathers Anointing does not come before the fallow ground is broken up, the rain of the Fathers Anointing does not come down on unplowed ground. Unplowed ground is ground that is not prepared for the rain one cannot sow seed into unplowed ground. The ground has to be made soft and pliable, the ground has to be dug up and broken in order for the seed to be properly sown and ready for when the rain comes. The rain brings nourishment for the seed to grow. If the seed is thrown on unprepared ground the rain will come and wash away the seed, some may seep into the ground and take root but much will be lost. (I pray you are hearing this in your spirit). Dont be a sluggard, get in the place of preparation and get prepared for the rain. Go to the ant.
