overcoming laziness with Jesus

This is how to overcome laziness with Jesus and why it's so important to do so.
There's a constant battle between our own freewill and God's personal intervention on our lives. Some of us blame God for too much and others don't give God enough credit.
One thing for certain is that God gave us a life that we should be faithful stewards of. That means diligently seeking to be excellent in all that we do. God did not condemn you to a life of poverty and laziness, that was your choice. This video seeks to encourage those that may not know that they have freedom in Jesus from laziness and poverty.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Sister in faith I am in the same boat single father with 2 special needs children my one just got kicked out of daycare. Have faith in Him who cares and provides to our needs ❤️‍🔥🙏

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." (luke 12:22-31)

i’m going to change as soon as i finish this video. to be completely honest, it scares me to change because i don’t want to face anxiety and other dark feelings/emotions that i’ll have to confront. but my God truly is greater than my fears. here i go.

Praise be God I was have a hard time getting myself to not be lazy this is just what I needed

[@syrus8431]

I love this! The poverty & lazy mindset is not of God. This needs to be talked about more. I strongly feel that too many Christians are doing the bare minimum when God wants us to have abundant lives and have equipped us to have such.

I encourage you bro. Repentance is an action not a statement. Admitting it is definitely step one but true repentance is a physical actionable turn around. You got this!

@@Paulbernard11sometimes I get confessing my sin mixed up with repentance but true repentance produces fruit John the Baptist said.

[@KabeloNgcwatywa]

The Gospels don’t indicate that Jesus was any poorer than most first-century Palestinians; rather, Jesus became poor by giving up his rights as God and becoming human. In the Incarnation, God voluntarily became man-the wholly human person Jesus of Nazareth. As a man, Jesus was subject to place, time, and other human limitations. He did not give up his eternal power when he became human, but he did set aside his glory and his rights (see the note on Philippians 2:5-7). In response to the Father’s will, he limited his power and knowledge. Christ “became poor” when he became human because he set aside so much. Yet by doing so, he made us rich by giving us salvation and eternal life. What made Jesus’ humanity unique was his freedom from sin. In Jesus we can see every attribute of God’s character. The Incarnation is explained further in these Bible passages: John 1:1-14; Romans 1:2-5; Philippians 2:6-11; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 1:1-3.

a direct result of diligence is profit one way or another. in Ecclesiastes it says “money answereth all things” - the LOVE of money is the root of all evil normalize loving God and using things, the issue is loving things and using God

[@deejaysmooove8953]

It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, but poverty isn’t necessarily good either, having enough food and supplies to provide for your family is truly being rich

[@joshthesmith77]

I think that verse also means those spiritually rich meaning those who think they know everything and think they don’t need God to teach them anymore. The poor in spirit are hungry for God but those rich think they have all they need and become stagnant. Those not moving forward with God are moving backwards. Just another way to think of things. God bless. :)

[@joshthesmith77]

@@BlessGodMinistry In Matthew 19 the parable of the Rich Young Man that verse refers to the prescribed will of God for him. That was the only way he could become humble, get into Heaven, and “love thy neighbor as thyself” which was the commandment that he broke and lied about not breaking. If he loved his neighbor he would sell his belonging and help those around him and in return God would no doubt have rewarded him here and in Heaven. However, he loved his belongings more than he loved his neighbors. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph were all wealthy as God blesses those who love Him and have faith in Him. To love God is to obey and keep His commandments. Very few people can handle wealth and still put God first but all wealth belongs to God and so long as you understand that then God can and will bless you for as long as you still put Him first. Wealthy Christian must be careful to not become like the young rich man but poverty is a curse and not the will of God for His children. I desire to be wealthy to help those around me, to never again know poverty, and to have a good life, not luxurious but good in lacking no good thing. I want to serve God and to expand His kingdom you need resources to do it so in that money is a tool and not the goal. God has two types of wills, sovereign meaning what He commands and wants for us all and prescribed which is for the individual and His plan for them. God bless :)

[@arj9760]

I completely understand and appreciate you, Paul. But what about those who feel lost in their career? Who doesn't really know what to do or pursue, hence, in a tight budget and poverty seems to be peeking so much? Debts upon debts, paycheck to paycheck.

[@Paulbernard11]

I’ll make a note to do a video on this! My personal perspective would be to analyze what God is teaching and revealing you during this time. I can’t say for certain, but the fact that you were even willing to comment tells me your stage of financial struggle right now won’t last long. Sometimes it’s a God lesson and other times (as i addressed in this video which was true to me as well for so long) it’s a diligence issue. Are you doing the thing that you know God called you to do in faith? Have you analyzed your heart and your life for the talents and opportunities He’s placed in your life? Deep down I always knew I was supposed to do content but I avoided it until I was forced to do it. And that cause me a lot of poverty and pain (not just financially). But there was also a time in pursuing my craft that God intentionally developed me. Both stages were necessary. I hope this helps or at least sparks some new thoughts. Let’s keep talking bro I want you to succeed I feel as if your heart is in the right place. God bless you

Some people need to go through poverty to learn who Jesus is in their heart, he is rich of spirit, as u and I know not a solely material based person ❤❤❤ Edit: “Was” >>> “Is”

[@Paulbernard11]

Amen. Some people need heartbreak, challenges, breakups… the end goal is the relationship with Christ not wealth. This topic is so controversial because I think many Christians hear something about wealth and immediately label it as "prosperity". But it’s important to know the truth on all matters of the Bible not just the ones that make us comfortable. This message is just a part of our walk with Jesus, it’s not all of it.

[@cleanfrank218]

Jesus didnt talk about financial wealth. But spiritual wealth. We have an other Joel Osteen here ey

[@MichaelBrianInc]

Open your ears and watch your criticism… Don’t spread lies from the devil. This is far from a Joel message. This is not just about material wealth. But yes in a world where currency is money as a TOOL, it is beneficial especially in furthering the kingdom and spreading of the gospel. It takes this tool to make a lot happen. And we are not meant to live eating crumbs off the ground. We are heirs of the kingdom of heaven. The most abundant place to ever exist!

@@MichaelBrianInc ever heard about Lazarus and the rich man? The rich man will enter the kingdom as a camel trough the eye of the needle? The good LORD wants us to be wealthy but some are directed to have and some not. Go tell the homeless war vet he's lazy and see how it's gonna go

[@MichaelBrianInc]

@@cleanfrank218 I’m not speaking of prosperity gospel nor putting trust in material riches and wealth. I think you need to learn to dig deeper beyond the literal of the scriptures. Yes I know the story and the word very well. And yes, not every believer will have material wealth, however if you put your whole trust in God, He will reward you. Most don’t or will not do that. They just look for His hands vs truly seeking Him. When you fully serve God, all He has is for you. You will be blessed beyond measure. The principles are there in scripture and even when it comes to wealth. But it all begins with our spiritual wealth first.
