Poverty is a curse,
Yet can be a man's friend,
If you love to sleep, be ready for its rain,
For no sleeper earns the wealth.
Poverty is not lack of money,
If all you have is money, you are a pauper,
Lack of diligence is lack of wealth,
If you have the money and love your bed, you are poor.
If you hate poverty, you must love the work,
If you crave the wealth, you must hate your bed,
Wealth is a blessing,
But it comes through deligence not by mercy.
The world is full of wealth,
But you must offer your work to earn the wealth,
If you offer no work, you will earn no wealth,
You offer your work, you earn the wealth.
You say I will tomorrow,
Tomorrow after tomorrow,
Yet time is not déjà vu,
How long will you sleep, o' sleeper?
If you can do no thing with your time,
If you can give no thing to life,
If you love the pleasure of sleep,
Chai! Poverty is looming.
If you get and get and get and give nothing,
If you spend and spend and earn nothing,
There is a place for poverty in your mind,
You must have a thing to offer.
O'Youth! It is not enough to desire wealth,
You must diligently work,
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing:
But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Now that you have your strength in full, Work!
Even your creator never sleep nor slumber,
If He works, you must work,
Favour only rains on your endeavour.
Diligence takes hold of time and buys the keys of wealth,
Your sleep only transcends you to a dream land,
Wake up and make most of your time,
Wake up and maximize your potentials.
In a Nutshell;
I never spotted it in the Bible, I mean the old and new Testaments where God blesses or favours a lazy man. Every youth that received His extraordinary grace and anointing in the Bible days were the deligent ones. God is too full of wisdom to waste His prosperity on the sluggard.
Here comes the truth, the strongest demon warring against youths of this generation is nothing but laziness. Yes, laziness! They desire and crave for the wealth, but they don't want to do a thing. If you can't work for it, it simply means you don't worth. Why? Because it takes more deligence to sustain wealth. This truth is far from many of them youths who err to get money, they regret at the end, because they could not maintain it and there later is worse than their former.
A lazy man will never see but the negative sides, he will never want to take any risk, but just want to sleep and enjoy.The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!"As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly." (Proverbs 26:13-16).
This is a call to the lazy ones, you can't have it by dreaming and dreaming and imagining it. You have to work it out, because "The desire of the slothful kills him, for his hands refuse to labour" (Proverbs 21:25). But, "Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men."(Proverbs 22vs29). No matter how graceful and talented you are, you can not be wealthy until you shun laziness. Perhaps, Laziness is an habit, just the way it is cultivated, it can be through descipline flogged out of your life. If you desire the wealth, you must strengthen your arms to do the work.
