Don’t be SLOTHFUL about the Father’s Business

“He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.“
Proverbs 18:9 NKJV

A slothful person is a lazy person. He or she can also be described as indolent, inactive or idle. Proverbs 18:9 associates a slothful person with a destroyer, suggesting that being slothful is destructive. For more than one reason, slothfulness is something that needs to be discouraged in Christendom. More importantly because the Father’s Business beckons on us all always. Jesus was all about the Father’s Business, He was passionate about it, driven by it and He lived for it.

What is the Father’s Business ?

“And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Luke 2:49 NKJV

“..…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10b NKJV.

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
John 17:3 NKJV

From the above 3 scriptures, we can say that Jesus Christ came to make the Father known us and that through Him (Christ), we might have eternal life.

No doubt, Jesus delivered on His mandate. That’s why we can enjoy all the rights and privileges of being born of God. You can read more about this via this link….https://graceobomanu.com/the-mind-of-christ-blogpost-5/

The Great Commission…

Like the great leader that He is, Jesus delegated to us the same mandate He came down to earth for…..

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
Matthew 28:19 NKJV

Our job as Christians therefore is simple; to be busy with the Father’s Business; to get others to know the Father and to believe in Him through Jesus Christ. That is why laziness or slothfulness should be discouraged in Christianity. There’s work to be done and the time to do it is now.
