Proverbs 12:24 (ERV)

[The diligent] will be put in charge of others, but lazy people will have to work like slaves.

The Bible paints a vivid picture of the sneaky enemy called laziness. At first, it might feel good to hit that snooze button or put off your responsibilities, but before you know it, you're caught in a cycle of "a little sleep, a little slumber" that leads to poverty pouncing on you "like a robber."

Laziness leaves one enslaved to debt, frustration, and failure. Dreams and potential wither away, and suddenly, they find themselves trapped in a life they never intended. The message is clear: laziness is a pathway to bondage.

Poverty is allergic to hard work, and by “hard” work, I mean smart work. Hard work often leads to exhaustion without necessarily achieving the best results. On the other hand, smart work involves using the right tools and strategies to accomplish tasks more efficiently and effectively. Smart work emphasizes planning, prioritizing, and leveraging resources, allowing you to achieve more with less effort. Work smart and you will rule this year!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I refuse to die broke! I reject the spirit of laziness and choose to work smart. As I pray, my strategies are of God. By His wisdom, I plan, prioritize, and leverage resources efficiently. Debt is cancelled! Poverty flees from me, and I rise to rule in success and abundance in every endeavour! Amen.
