DON'T BE SLOTHFUL
Welcome to Henry Jex blog
Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Apostle Paul was admonishing the Ephesians church about the dignity of labour. Anyone who will not work the bible says should not eat. It is important to know that there are no lack of jobs, opportunities etc except that we have a lot of lazy people.
2 Thessalonians 3:10-11 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
You can't be engage and be a busy body at the same time, most people who have time for gossip are idle people, they move from house to house. They devalue others so as to seek their favour. Here we see that the word of God recognised and commend us to work with our own hands. There is a saying that "an idle hand is the devils workshop". Don't at any time be idle without doing anything. You have the mind of Christ, you can not be idle.
Today, if you don't have a job, look around you and think of what you can do to make a living. If there is no visible employment, go somewhere as seek to serve without payment. Serve for free, the knowledge you will get from working will pay off for you later. Don't let salary be your first desire but the need to add value.
1 Corinthians 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it.
Don't ever be idle, step out today and do something. You can do laundry, be a sales agent etc.
It's your week of elevation.
