RESPONSIBILITY - THE KEY TO ACCESSING THE FAVOUR OF GOD

SCRIPTURE: Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. – Proverbs 22:29
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Labour invites favour
 
It is confirmed that God moves with responsible people; the power of God is revealed for people who are action and goal oriented. Responsibility unlocks possibilities.
 
What is responsibility? 
 
It is the state of being answerable or accountable for something within one's power. It is the refusal to give excuses or shift blame on someone when a piece of work is left undone. Exploits in any realm of life does not belong to the weak but the responsible.
 
It is important to know that responsibility is a key factor in obtaining favour with God and also with men. Labour invites favour. 
 
For instance, when David took the responsibility of killing Goliath, he won the favour of God and that of men. The women began to sing his praise: “…Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands” (1 Samuel 18:7).
 
That is favour with men which is a product of responsibility.
 
God will never favour the irresponsible. Even if God decides to favour them because of persistent prayer, that favour may not last because it also takes responsibility to maintain the favour of God.
 
I decree on you today, the grace to take responsibility in Jesus’ Name.
 
Remember this: Labour invites favour.
