Title: Postponing your procrastination
the MOST dangerous word in the bible is tomorrow
'Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow,' He wrote ' Alias tomorrow never comes,'
-Charles Spurgeon
3 things about procrastination
1. It robs us of opportunities for service
Luke 9:59
We tend to do immediate things and neglect the important ones.
Matthew 13:44-46
Why wait for miracles when we are miracles?
2. it robs us of opportunities to be successful
Procrastinators thinks that they have a lot of time, thats why they delay and procrastinate
Don't ask time where it is, but tell time where to go
Psalm 90:12
Procrastinators often waits for the perfect time(excuse for procrastinating)
3. It robs us of the opportunity for fulfilling our destiny
Delay our destiny is the devil's delight
Devils greatest weapon against Christians/man =Procrastination
Proverbs 27:1
If you pile us a lot of tomorrow, you will end up with a lot of yesterdays
James 4:13-14
Hebrews 13
Acts24:24-25
Isaiah 55:6
Psalm 119:6
4 stages of procrastination
1. Don't just know it, DO it!
James 4:17
When you have a job to do begin now, you will supply the will and God will supply the power
2. Plan to succeed
If you succeed to plan, you plan to succeed.
You will achieve nothing unless you make it a must and do whatever it takes to fulfill it
Actings within your comfort zone will kill your dreams
3. Be consistent in your action
4. Be progressive, not busy
Are you busy and not progressive?
Busyness is an excuse for procrastination
We can have a lot of activity but no accomplishment
Christians ought to be known as those who accomplish great things for God and not those that simply just talk about it
