19 HE WHO TILLS [works or cultivates] HIS LAND WILL HAVE PLENTY OF BREAD, BUT he who follows FRIVOLITY will have POVERTY ENOUGH!
20 A faithful man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, BUT he who HASTENS to be RICH will not go UNPUNISHED."
Proverbs 28:19,20 (NKJV)
• You cannot cheat God, neither can you deceive Him. You cannot outsmart God!
- No one should acclaim or ascribe the success they had to the self ability, but give the credit, the glory, and the honour of all things to God.
- That said, laziness is not condoned by God. Associating with a vain person, a frivolous person, would lead to poverty (Proverbs 28:19).
- Whom you relate with matters. Association, to some extents, determines your level in life. You have a future before you. Thus, be circumspect about whom you relate with.
- If you are yet to be reborn, you may likely not discover God's purpose for your life until you have taken the step. Salvation is the Foundation of whatever God will do in your life or through your life. Redemption of your soul is the foundation of all you become in God.
- Sin blinds the mind. It is when you come to Jesus Christ that you have your eyes of understanding opened and discovered the purpose of God, that is, If you did work on it—to know.
- A natural person cannot understand God's plan or purpose: "BUT PEOPLE WHO AREN'T SPIRITUAL CAN'T RECEIVE THESE TRUTHS FROM GOD'S SPIRIT. IT ALL SOUNDS FOOLISH TO THEM AND THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT, FOR ONLY THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SPIRIT MEANS" (1 Corinthians 2:14 NLT).
• The Holy Spirit is given to His Children, those who are His (Romans 8:9).
- Through the Holy Spirit on the inside of the Believers, we get to know the mind of God: "BUT IT WAS TO US THAT GOD REVEALED THESE THINGS BY HIS SPIRIT. FOR HIS SPIRIT SEARCHES OUT EVERYTHING AND SHOWS US GOD'S DEEP SECRETS" (1 Corinthians 2:10 NLT).
- Through the help of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you, as a believer, you will know your land, your field or functionality, or the assignment; and He will help you in tilling it—guide you on how to cultivate the land.
• Therefore, be wary of any relationship that would not help you discover purpose and fulfil it.
- God prepared in you the Seed to be planted in the world (Romans 11:29).
- God has deposited in you the gifts to put to work, in other to produce results in the world. Thus, you are to affect your world positively with the giftedness He has given you, or deposited in you.
- Your land is the assignment He gave to you, whilst your gifts are the seeds to be planted, which would produce the Harvest of the transformed people.
- God wants you to add life to people. He wants you to change things. If you can see how something can be done in an improved way, that is a Vision, pursue it.
- Sow the Seed of whatever has been deposited in you, that you may not beg at the time of Harvest. Your success is in what He has called, or assigned, or equiped, you to do.
- You are gifted to do something in an improved or a better way, to bless mankind; that is the thing—go ahead and do it.
• You will not be a waste in Jesus' name.
- As you take a step on what He said to do, I see you swimming in abundance in Jesus' name.
- Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' name.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).

b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
