PREVENT PROCRASTINATION
TEXT: JOHN 9:4-12
MEMORY VERSE: “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (JOHN 9:4).
Procrastination is a lazy man’s way of life. He doesn’t see the reason why something must be done urgently or promptly. We must not leave what must be done today for tomorrow. Living a fulfilled life, as a Christian, demands working tirelessly for the propagation of the kingdom of God.
George Sheeham captures it this way, “There are those of us who are always ‘about’ to live. We’re waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get promotion, until we settle down – until, until, until. It always seems that there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.” Live your life as if there is no tomorrow.
Begin now to work on what you want to be in the future. Be studious and read voraciously in order to be fit to reach the peak of your career. Be a balanced Christian. Work for God’s kingdom as well as excel in your secular endeavours. Preach the gospel to your peers now and be a model of who a genuine Christian should be.
QUOTE: Begin now to work.
CHALLENGE: Be balanced, doing your spiritual and secular work.
PRAYER: O God, help me to work with a sense of urgency.
