DAY 12
"BREAKING THE YOKE OF STAGNATION"
Stagnation is the state of not flowing or moving. It is lack of activity, growth, or development. It is a state in which growth or development stops. If something such as a business or society stagnates, it stops changing or progressing.
Stagnation in Latin is “Stagnatum” meaning “Standing Water”. Stagnation is a state of Inactivity. It means not moving. Stagnation is like a Poodle of water that attracts mosquitoes.
Stagnation can also mean a state of dullness, dryness or even sluggishness. A life full of mundane things is a Stagnant life. When there is no new thing in your life, no new vision, no excitement, there is Stagnation. The Christian life is a Bubbling life because God does something in a person’s life all the time.
A stagnant life attracts harmful things or people. The minute your life becomes stagnant is the minute you start attracting and being a haven for unpleasant things. You will find yourself forming alliances with people of mediocre minds. You will find yourself in company of people that you never imagined. Spending time in drug dens will no longer be an issue for you because your stagnation has made you failure personified.
Like a metal that stays without use for a while rusts and starts disintegrating, so is a life that is stagnant. A brain that is not used, challenged and exercised on a daily basis soon becomes ‘rusted’. Within a short time the brain can no longer function as it is supposed to, and the world is robbed of your brilliance too.
*How do you know if you are stagnating?*
*1st sign* : You always experience chronic procrastination on your goals
*2nd sign* : You don’t ever feel like doing anything
*3rd sign* : You keep turning to sleep, eating, games, social medias, mindless activities and entertainment for comfort
*4th sign* : You know you should be doing something, but yet you keep avoiding it
*5th sign* : You have not achieved anything new or significant now relative to 1 month, 2 months or 3 months ago
*6th sign* : You have a deep sense of feeling that you are living under your potential
*What are the causes and the cure of stagnation*
1/ Stagnation comes because there isn’t anything that excites you enough to take action. There is no more joy in prayer, in attending bible study, in meditating the Word of God.
To be free from it, stop doing what you do without finding and understanding the deep and spiritual reasons and purpose behind doing it. Why should you pray everyday ? Why should you meditate the Word everyday ? Why should you go to church ? Why should you go to work ?
*Joel 1:12*
2/ Being in the same environment, doing the same things over and over again and meeting the same people can make us stagnant. This is especially if the people you spend the most time with are stagnant themselves.
To be free from it, disconnect yourself from stagnant people and surround yourself with people whose life inspires you, moves you and gives meaning to your own life.
*1 Corinthians 15:33*
3/ Stagnation comes from being frozen in fear.
*Proverbs 22:13*
To be free from it, you have to build your faith and get rid of fear.
4/ Stagnation comes when you are so content with your current achievement that you decide to settle for it losing sight of the fact that progress in life is meant by God to be continuous and endless.
To be free from it, have a "what next" mentality. No matter how great and outstanding is your realization, there is always something bigger than it.
*Proverbs 4:18*
