#THECOUNSEL (LAZINESS)



Laziness is ultimately a selfish desire to abandon our responsibilities and live off the hard work of others. Proverbs 24:30-34 says Laziness results in destruction and poverty and II Thess. 3:10 says One who doesn’t work doesn’t deserve food. Relaxing and doing our own thing 24/7 sounds appealing, but God did not create us for that. He created us to live meaningful and productive lives through which everything we do is done for 
His glory (I Cor. 10:31). Wasting our lives away by being lazy will eventually lead to depression and a sense of failure, but being productive through hard work will lead to great accomplishment. Taking time to rest serves a purpose, but it should not characterize us. The best way to fight laziness is to grasp God’s purpose for your life (be who He has called you to be), establish goals for the future, and commit to using all of your time in a way that pleases the Lord. II Tim. 2:15

Together, we are an ocean. It is a witness to the world. In John 13:34, 35, Jesus said: “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  When churches love each other, there is unity and harmony. Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion.  Unity is strength, division is weakness. Even the weak become strong when they are united. Where there is unity there is always victory. We rise by lifting others. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish tog...
