SHINING THROUGH HARD WORK

Isaiah 60: 1 says it is time for you to arise and shine. This simply implies that anyone that is ready to shine must be ready to put in an effort and pay a price in terms of hard work.

Also of note here is that there are various degrees of shining depending on the size of each light and its make-up. When light rays are beamed towards a particular location with a specified intensity, they usually go dim over time as the battery weakens if adequate plans are not made to recharge the battery.

The same applies to the light that comes from a star that shines brightly for God if adequate maintenance culture is not maintained; they will definitely go down spiritually. Therefore, in order to shine brightly and continuously as a star, you must consciously make up your mind on the level of rays you want to release, the circumference of your glow and how long it must be sustained for you to remain shining brightly or you planned to recharge it.

The Glory that comes with shining varies according to what we have in 1Corinthians 15: 41; “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.”

The intensity of the shining that you expect must also be commensurate with the expected glory. Some people desire to radiate the glory of the sun but cannot pay the price to carry it and so shine as an ordinary torchlight instead – things do not get to work like that; especially if adequate preparations were not made for your so called desires. You can only carry the level of glory you have paid the price for on your knees in praying, fasting, sowing, worshipping etc. The higher the price you pay the greater the extent to which you go and shine ultimately.

God has destined you for greatness and you shall be great in Jesus Mighty Name. God can raise up a beggar from the dunghill and set him among the greatest (1Samuel 2: 8). However, you have a role to play. Proverbs 22: 29 says that it is diligence that will make you wine and dine with kings. If you are the lazy bone, you may never shine as God has destined you to shine.

… The Good News that you have heard concerning how glorious your future will be is just the starting point and beginning of the hard work you will put into life. The extent to which you will go in life is a function of the hard work you put into the task that needed to be done as and when due because delay and procrastination can be very dangerous indeed!

To what extent do you work? Are you the type that leaves what you ought to do today undone preferring to leave it till tomorrow and you expect superb success in life?

Friends, things do not get to work that way. Always x this nursery rhythm everytime:

“Tick says the clock: tick, tick, what you have to do, do quick!”

The truth of the matter is that: “every daily effort you fail to make use of gradually erodes your position in life”.

…The choice is therefore yours…”So PAY THE PRICE!”

Thank You
