Faith without works

The chant of the lazy.

The words "I believe", "I receive" "It will happen fast", "My faith is higher", as being anthems for everyone (Believers). The use of these words is without control and people believe and limit it to its potential power, forgetting the kinetic aspect of the words and sayings.

They get clouded by the power the words carry and forget to let the word sink into them revealing its true meaning.

Over the years I have seen and watched various people from different parts of the world remain at the same spot over time because of the shackles they created themselves by virtue of these words they claim. A lot of people just believe it is okay to say the words and sit right back to observe it perform its magical work.

It is however good and essential to always exercise one's faith and belief concerning a particular situation, subject, or matter, but then the truth of it all is the fact that they all don't end there. There are steps that must be taken, there are decisions that must be made, to say the word alone makes it so impotent to achieve the desired goal or purpose.

No one will ever think of buying a car and say to themselves, with faith I am sure I would be able to drive this car without practice. I am confident that such individuals would not live to tell the story. There are steps that must be taken for you to be able to drive that car you bought with your money. The faith that you got it with your money doesn't mean you won't have to go for training.

Get your hands to work and don't have faith in everything that comes your way. Faith without works won't yield any result. You can't refuse to plant and you say to yourself by this time next year I will be harvesting my crops, then you tell yourself with faith I know it will come out big and fresh, you need to hear the breaking news I have for you, you are a joker. All you have successfully done was to waste your precious time and future because faith without works is nothing! Absolutely nothing. If you don't read for that exam you won't perform as expected and get the grades you want, no athlete will refuse to practice and say to the coach "Please I would like to represent the country, and I know one thing for the sure coach, with faith we will win" You already can predict and presume the coach's reply, there are no two ways to it.

Take out time to be diligent in your works, get that training, pray that prayer after confessing and exhibiting faith, write that proposal, take that bold step you feel only faith will solve, there is something you also need to know, I need you to know and realize that faith can only work where there are works, faith can only work or perform in the place of action. Never disregard the place of action in all that you do, don't give up, seize from the claiming by word of mouth, and start doing the works.

Just before I end this I want you to know this, always endeavor to make sure your works match your faith, it is only by doing this will your reality match your dream. If you haven't been able to get a hold of anything, you need to hold on to this and make sure you don't let loose of it.

The sky is the starting point.

As you faith it, always work it.
