Proverbs 14:23 Hard work always pays off; mere talk puts no bread on the table.
This year 2017 can be your best year so far! It is possible to grow or increase greatly this year. The next twelve months can be very fruitful and productive for you. But you have a role to play. If you do your part well, you can see much or significant success. You can experience realization of dreams, resolution of significant issues, marked increase in some key area of life, and more. But if you get lazy or careless, you can miss out on the many blessings that are accessible. You can fall short of your potential in bringing glory to God and good to yourself & others. You can end the year 2017 and wonder why not much happened. Today we will talk about something we know or have heard of. If you have been coming to church for some time, many of the things that will be said today will be familiar. But mere knowledge will not give us success. Many of us know many things but are not succeeding as much as we should because we are not seriously and consistently applying what we know. So let us allow the Lord to remind us today. Let us open our hearts and minds to the words of God. Permit the Holy Spirit to awaken in you a greater commitment and passion to hard work and consistent prayer. Receive inspiration and empowerment from God to succeed in your callings this year 2017 by giving your very best and being much more dependent on God. You have in your hands the instruments of conquest. As you apply the teachings of the Word of God, you will see success. Work hard and you will win. Pray consistently and you will see breakthroughs. The two-fold strategy for success of hard work and consistent prayer will produce results because they are founded on divine laws and principles. So welcome to a great year, 2017! God’s rich blessings be on you, your family, and ministry.Lathur Badoy
