THE DOMINION POWER OF DILIGENCE | TUESDAY 9TH MAY 2023 | DAY 29 OF 40 DAYS OF UNCOMMON PROOFS
CHAPTER 1 | DILIGENCE CARRIES DOMINION POWER
● Genesis 1:26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
● Proverbs 12:24 “The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.”
DILIGENCE IS A COMMAND
● 2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
● 1 Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
● 1 Th 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye
may have lack of nothing.
DILIGENCE IS A MUST
● John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work.
● GENESIS 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Tend (Hebrew 'abad) means "to work or
serve," and thus referring to the ground or a garden, it can be defined as "to till or cultivate."
● It possesses the nuance seen in the KJV's
choice in its translation: "dress," implying adornment, embellishment, and
improvement.
● Keep (Hebrew shamar) means "to exercise
great care over."
● In the context of Genesis 2:15, it expresses God's wish that mankind, in the person of Adam, "take care of," "guard,"
or "watch over" the garden.
● A caretaker maintains and protects his charge so that he can return it to its owner in as good or better condition than
when he received it.
● Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
● Gen 2:15-16
- DRESS IT - KEEP IT - YOU WILL EAT FREELY
CHAPTER 2 | THE DILIGENT TRINITY
A.) JESUS WAS DILIGENT LIKE HIS FATHER. LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON.
● John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
B.) OUR GOD IS THE DILIGENT GOD.
● Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
*THE DILIGENT TURNS PRESSURE INTO
PLEASURE. SWEAT TO SWEET*
ONE THING IS TO WILL. ANOTHER THING IS TO
DO. THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TWO IS CALLED
DILIGENCE.
ONLY THE DILIGENT IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A
pleasurable AND enjoyable LIFE. No lazy
enjoys life
C.) THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE DILIGENT SPIRIT
● Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
CHAPTER 2 | WHO IS THE DILIGENT?
●Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
● The diligent always finds something to do
● The diligent does whatever he does with his might, meaning his heart ( POWER,
STRENGTH, ENERGY, WHOLE BEING … )
- DILIGENCE IS A MINDSET.
- DILIGENCE IS AN ATTITUDE.
- DILIGENCE IS A WHATSOEVER THING
(BUSINESS, MARRIAGE, SCHOOL, MINISTRY,
PARENTING, RELATIONSHIP, ETC.)
● If you are not diligent in small business. You will never be DILIGENT AT ALL.
NONE OF THOSE GOD HAS CALLED WERE LAZY
● Biblical examples : Moses | DAVID | GIDEON | AMOS | PETER |
ELIJAH |
NOTHING WORKS WITHOUT SOMEONE AT WORK
1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Note | His business ... Not people's business. Own it.
DILIGENCE & DOMINION
● Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
● Commendation is defined as the act of speaking favourably of someone.
● Positive commendation always opens new doors, new position, promotion and
advancement to the person commended. Let us confirm in Scriptures.
1st case : Joseph was commended to Pharaoh by the chief butler. After that,
Joseph was called and was promoted in the
kingdom
● Genesis 41:9KJV Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
● Genesis 41:14KJV Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
2nd case : Daniel was commended to the king Belshazzar, by the queen.
● Because of this commendation, Daniel was called to stand before the king and provide the interpretation
● Daniel 5:13KJV Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
3rd case : David was commended by Saul's counselors to minister to him.
● In 1 Sam 16:19, David has always been in the palace until he became himself the King of Israel.
● 1 Sam 16:16
4th case | Ruth was commended to Boaz because of her diligence
● Rth 2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
DILIGENCE BRINGS HONOUR
● 1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
PRAYER POINTS
● LET miracles flow from MY hands
Acts 19:11, God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.
● MY HANDS WILL BE PRODUCTIVE . GRANT ME GRACE TO eat the labour of MY hands
Psalms 128:2, "Thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands..."
● Anything precious the Lord has given ME (relationships, marriage, job, money, children,...) will be kept and none will be lost in the Name of Jesus Christ!
John 17:12, "Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost ..."
● No man, no witch, no devil, no demon will be able to pluck out of MY hand what the Father gave ME in the Name of Jesus Christ!*
John 10:29 "... No man is able to pluck out of my Father's hand what My Father gave me..."
● GRANT ME WISDOM TO BUILD
Pro 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
● MY HANDS WILL EXPERIENCE SUPERNATURAL TRANSFER
Gen 31:9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
