TOPIC: SPIRITUAL DELIGENCE

SCRIPTURE: The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat - Proverbs 13:4

MEMORY VERSE: 2 Peter 1:5

DIGGING DEEP: There are believers today who are experiencing power leak and their tubes of spiritual energy is been punctured by the nails of slothfulness and extreme complacency. Beloved, their is no retirement in kingdom assignment or our stand and relationship with God. If your fervency is intact, constant and instant in season and out of season, you will still be on fire for the Lord even till death.
Looking into the life of Apostle Paul for instance you will discover that one of his strong points was that he was spiritually diligent. That was why he admonished that "after you have done all, stand" (Ephesians 6:13) That is to say that never come to a point that you say that you have done enough, that you become content with what God has used you to do. This is a strong way of escaping easy satanic arrows that gun others down cheaply.
Complacency is at the root of many anointed people falling prey to demons and sin.
To be spiritually diligent is to be conscientious or deeply determined or persevere in our walk with God. It means to be focussed, doggedly and ruggedly pursuing and chasing after God.
Our anchor text says that "The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat." This implies that:
1. Spiritual leanness is caused by spiritual laziness. 
2. Mere desire is not what produces result: Spiritual sluggards always wish they fasted, prayed, studied. They desire to be mightily used of God, but can't pay the price by dedication. They are full of knowledge, and religion but can't produce fruits. They are only interested in the fruits of righteousness but not in the roots of righteousness.
3. Diligence is key to spiritual fatness: Spiritual heavyweights are always diligent people.
You cannot be spiritually diligent and be spiritually indigent. By this i mean you can't be spiritually diligent and not be prosperous spiritually. The more diligent you are with God, the more He pours grace, virtue, anointing and lots more into you. Joshua was diligent, when Moses died he stepped into leadership, same with Elisha he was diligent when Elijah departed the mantle for double impact rested upon him.
Finally, nothing destroys grace like the lack of diligence. Noah found grace in the sight of God, and so received divine instruction to build the ark, he did it by been diligent.
Today you can achieve any height in God, you can operate in any dimension you desire, you can do the miraculous and so on, only if your desire can be mixed with diligence.
I pray for you that complacency and sluggishness is broken now in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord deliver me from every form of spiritual laziness in Jesus' name.
