Audio Version
Proverbs 22:29 – “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”
Many believers have lost lucrative opportunities because of their failure to imbibe behaviours that enhance credibility and trust. Employers, clients, and business partners are drawn to individuals who are reliable, consistent, and committed to excellence. If someone repeatedly misses deadlines, delivers poor-quality work, or lacks accountability, they soon become overlooked, no matter how skilful they may be.
Proverbs 22:29 makes it clear that diligence and excellence pave the way to life changing milestones, but laziness, inconsistency, and poor work ethic can block opportunities. Habits such as procrastination, lack of discipline, and failure to follow through on commitments create a cycle of stagnation. No matter how much potential a person has, if they continually neglect the principles that lead to success, they will remain unseen and unrewarded.
Make time today to examine your daily routines. Are you known for reliability and excellence? Success is predictable when you align your habits with the principles that produce it. Hallelujah!
