GIVE ALL DILIGENCE

GIVE ALL DILIGENCE…Proverbs 22 :29 “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men”.


Proverbs 10: 4 “He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich”.

Wealthy man decided to give away $5m to anyone who could locate the position where he hid the money in a 5 story building. This was widely advertised for people to participate and better their lives in that kingdom.

Many people got to the building and only stopped their search in the first floor; some stopped after searching two floors, some third, some fourth etc and complained that the wealthy is deceiving them and that there is nothing anywhere at all.

In that kingdom, there was a man who has always being known to be diligent in all that he does. He has also taught his two sons to diligent in all that they will ever do in their life journey.

One of the sons was doing his school in another kingdom, while the second son was with the parent also schooling. So when this issue came up the son joined in the search of the money to better is family’s lot.

He searched from the first floor everything; including the waste bins in all the floors for the $5m. Everybody left him still searching for this life changing money up to the fifth floor; until he found it inside a very bid and dirty waste bin in front of the last room on the fifth floor wrapped in very dirty wet rag hidden under the bin.



He took the money and left for home without announcing to anybody. When he got home, the father asked to be given the money without being told by the son that he found it.

The incident happened in the presence of some parents whose children also participated in the search of the money but gave up after the first and second floor.

Some of these parents were surprised to see their friend’s reaction on seeing his son, while some were not. Those who were not surprised confessed that they know that their friend’s son will locate the money because of his father’s diligent attitude which he has transferred to his children will always bring them honour and fame.

Immediately he finished his speech, the son gave the $5m he found due to diligence.

Nothing of value is found easy. In the supermarket of life, men must seek with diligence before they anything good, treasure are not found in earth surface.

I pray that as you reconfigure your heart to apply diligence in all that you do, God will grant you on a daily basis what eludes your mates in Jesus name.
