Proverbs 14:23 (TPT) says: “If you work hard at what you do, great abundance will come to you. But merely talking about getting rich while living to only pursue your pleasures brings you face-to-face with poverty.” You might have heard this saying: “talk is cheap.” In other words, if you only speak about one day doing this or that, it won’t come to pass. It won’t materialize. Abundance only comes when someone works hard and focuses their energies, talents, abilities, commitment, partnerships and resources on their goal. How ironic is it that those that sell information on making lots of money while enjoying the easy life actually work very hard to sell their products to us. They spend a lot of money on advertisements. They work long hours going cross-country doing seminars and charging a lot of money for their products, and they make millions off of you and me. And in actuality, the ones that make the big money is them. Proverbs 12:11 (NLV) says: “He who works his land will have all the bread he needs, but he who follows what is of no worth has no wisdom.” Notice what it says. We are to work our land, not somebody else’s. What is your land? It is the place where you have influence. It is the place of your potential. It makes use of your talents and abilities. This is important because most people make excuses as to why they don’t work their land. They blame everyone from their parents to their ethnicity. God promises that if you break away from those lies and deception, God promises that if you break away from those lies and deception and work the land that He gave you, you will rise above those around you and have abundance for every good work that He places in your hand. He is looking to partner with diligent, righteous men and woman who will represent Him well in their generation!
