Solving others' problems is a way to get your problem solved.
It's the first working day of the week. Whatever we lay our hands on today shall prosper, we will work for profit not for losses in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
Last Saturday, we discussed "Don't Be Idle" which I believe is still fresh in our hearts. I said, no matter how confused you are, keep doing something. No one will know you without doing something. For every transformation it all begins with being active in something. Our focus today is the same with the blind Bartimaeus, he was a blind man with every reason to be idle. Yesterday, we talked about being positioned correctly, he was positioned rightly and was still active as a beggar. He was doing what he could at his level. He was begging for money because he was blind. He could have sat in his father's house waiting for his daily bread but he chose to go out to beg for his survival. Today, you see many fine beggars with complete hands, complete legs, full sight, doing nothing but begging, wasting every opportunity given to them by God all because they are lazy. Inactiveness is an invitation to the devil, as the saying goes, an idle hand is the workshop of the devil. What are you doing where you are positioned?
Many are tightly positioned but doing nothing, what a waste of resources. Many live with their parents doing nothing with their lives, still depending on their parents for survival after being a graduate, what a shame? Go learn a skill, learn a trade, go to the internet and learn entrepreneurs skills and be active. You see, what life is all about, it's about solving problems, when you don't solve problems you can't eat nor survive. Everyone needs someone who will make life better and easier for them. When you position yourself to solve other’s problems, your problems will be solved. You have an android phone with you and you claim you have nothing to do, stop that cramp and get something doing. Stop sitting without doing meaningful things with your life. Whatever you find doing is a preparation for where God is taking you. David was in the bush solving problems about the sheep until someone found him and spoke of him to the King, doing nothing is an invitation to stagnation, dejection and rejection. When you are good at doing nothing you will remain a nobody for life. He found something to do, the blind man was begging at a good location. Depending on others for your survival is a reproach on your personality and a reproach on God. Even if what you are doing is not working or yielding enough results, keep doing it and give it your best till someone sees you and brings your reward. God is not jobless while should His children be jobless? Get up, start something good with your life and stop all forms of excuses for doing nothing with your complete body, even the blind have something to do.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
