[pull_quote_center]”For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.” I Thessalonians 2:9[/pull_quote_center]
Being blessed doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t work hard; working hard doesn’t mean that you aren’t enjoying the blessing of God. Jesus worked very hard; Apostle Paul too: of course, they were blessed.
Paul said that he worked night and day! And yet he was able to still preach the gospel to others, and he had fantastic results. Hard work is very rewarding.
Hard work plus grace will give you unimaginable results. You must work hard to have extraordinary success. When you work hard you will have much fruit to enjoy and you will be able to bless many more lives; you will also be able to support the work of God more. No excuses for laziness; work hard and God will crown your efforts with success, in Jesus name. Amen.
