Proverbs 12:24
“The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor.”
Beloved,
When God is examining the measure of a man, He’s won’t just look at his physical height. He won’t measure his head or weight; He’ll measures the heart.
Jeremiah 17:10
“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”
Watch out for the state of your heart. A troubled heart can never be a productive heart. If your heart is broken or full of resentment and un-forgiveness, such a heart has refused to let God work on it or give Him a new one and this means He is not fit to partner with God for productivity.
Luke 6:45
“The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
A heart that lacks capacity for intimacy is not helpful for productivity.
Proverbs 4:23
“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
If you store God’s word in your heart vs leaning on your own understanding, you will be productive because the devil cannot taint or distract a guarded heart. The treasure of your heart matters. Let His precious promises and your testimony of God’s faithfulness and unfailing love be your treasure. What you lay in your heart. When your heart is weighed down with the cares and affairs of this life, you cannot be productive according to God’s. You will be to distracted.
Matthew 12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Store up good things in your heart because you cannot give what you do not have. Receive God’s Love and share it. Have a heart connection with your God ordained leadership and the people He has entrusted into your care. When you are able to do things from the heart, with the right heart you are more likely to be productive. If your heart is in what you do, you will see that project through to the end.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
