Advancing Encouragement By:
Bishop James Jr. Hairston
Proverb: 22:29: Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
The idea here is not to be idle but to establish work in your life and the Lord will give you favor over men with clout, prestige, position, wealth, authority and power to take your work to the next level in business. Now is the time to go and position yourself to be successful and this passage of scripture will help you understand just how to do that? Do not worry about resources for your work God will provide it for you if you or once you find your niche or calling in life learn and study your craft, your business, your talent, gift, and be diligent in what you are trying to accomplish. God promised you that you will stand, meaning to be placed or stationed before major high influence in the land! Yes, God will place you or station you before influential people like in this text a king whom is very influential. In addition, when you are placed or stationed (from the word yatsab or yaw-tsab'), before kings this is like having favor with access to whatever resources they have that will help you carry out your work. Wow! God said seest, meaning to have a vision of:--behold, look, prophesy, provide, and see. God had King Solomon prophesy 3,000 years ago and He the Lord God Jehovah is still providing for His people whatever we need to accomplish our work! Now what does God mean by business? To make it simple it is your work but your work is classified as a ministry, employment, industry, occupation or deputyship (from the word mla'kah or mel-aw-kaw') to establish this business in your life. There you go, today is a prosperous day in the Lord for your business because He will not let the darkness of men stand in your way that is what mean men is, it means darkness or dark men. Therefore, no man of any form can stand in your way as you keep fighting and being diligent in your work and God will bring you to success and prosperity in your life why, because He promised it to you in your business, it was prophesied and provided for you. Today, go and establish yourself to be placed in position to be blessed and successful and stand fast not giving up no matter what in Jesus Name…
