Dignity in Labour

Proverbs 24:34  So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Devotion: There's poverty in the land and a lot of people go to bed with empty stomach. In the midst of plenty there's hunger because they simply do not work or want to work. We all want white collar jobs which is not available.

I travel frequently these past month and I see trucks of okra loaded daily in four locations. This is a crop nobody ever thought of as a genuine source of income at least in these places. The farmers are not natives they come from far distances while the natives go about hungry. They simply cannot see it because they are not ready to farm preferring to get money quickly through fetish means, fraud or prayers without work.

  The bible says in Proverbs 24: 30-34 that there's no food for the lazy (simple interpretation). On the international scene Asian countries are rich simply because of hard work and good govt while in Africa it is the opposite.

  There's a need to have a change of heart and the bible is full of wisdom of God that can make us rich. Read it and implement it, do not suspend your brain. Remember the promise is "I will bless the labours or your hands" Deuteronomy 28:12, read Deuteronomy 14:29 and 15:10 &18.

There's no free lunch anywhere one must earn his/her living.

Dear reader do you have testimony, share it with us. Hallelujah.
