God Doesn’t Work

Not in the way 99.0% think He does. And by God, I mean whatever you choose to believe in and the name you call it.

How God Works In A Twisted Way. LOL

In this day and age, it’s a pity that people believe or think about “God” as this life saver who just swoops in and takes care of your problems in an instant. Many men use this as an excuse not to put in work; it’s their own reason for being a lazy swine.

Men weren’t made to be lazy and God won’t do the work you are meant to do. Men who choose to be lazy should understand that there is a place for God and a place for Man. The same reason you can’t ascend into heaven to take the place of God is why He won’t come down to earth to take your place.

This is something I experienced firsthand with my dad. He was and still is the best physiotherapist I know. Every case that was brought to him was always treated. One of the feats he performed in my face was making a man who the whole hospital had left for dead walk again. While he was doing it, everyone mocked and watched but he kept on. Everyday in his ward, bones cracked, men shouted and cried. I always felt the man’s pain because my dad never took pity as the cracked his bones. But you know what?

On the day my dad told him he would walk for the first time the next day in over ten years, the man didn’t believe it. He laughed his head off and my dad bade him goodbye. On the next day, everyone gathered in the ward and the man stood up on his feet and walked unaided. You should have seen the tears, smiles and laughter in people’s face.

That was how good my dad was in his field but you know what? He kept hoping God would help him develop his company. I mean how is that possible! A company you don’t have the slightest idea how to run? A company you are not even sure you are ready to start? A company you don’t have a plan for? How will God help exactly?

The fact is that God doesn’t work when a man won’t work. The reason for this is that God needs our hands and feet on the earth before He can work. Let’s look at some examples.

When He wanted to save the Israelites, did He come down from heaven? He called Moses to do the job. When He wanted to redeem the world to Himself, did He just perform one magic and everyone got redeemed? No. In fact, He had to send his son in human form to do the work. I hope you see the pattern there. God won’t work if there is no man willing to work.

Believe me, if Jesus came in spirit form, then I think we all know that nobody will listen to a spirit. Just seeing a spirit will send chills down your spine let alone a talking and walking one.

Therefore, as a man with a vision, stop expecting God to swoop down in his blazing chariot and make your vision a reality. It falls on you to be at work then God will show up. You should be willing to take the dive; no, you should have dived already and know that God is already putting things on the ground for you to land safely.

God is a miracle worker; there’s no doubt about that but miracles happen when there is something in place for it. Every miracle you have read or heard about had a work done by a human and then, God showed up. Shall we cite examples?

The fall of Jericho’s wall. Christ birth. Ruth saving the Jews. Water from a rock in the wilderness for the Israelites. David overcoming Goliath.

Now, I am not here to preach about Christianity; I am speaking to all males. Don’t and stop expecting for miracles without your input. For your vision to become a reality, you need to work for it. If God will show up, it will be at places where you have no say anymore. Yes, that is how he works.

God is already at work where you have no say

God doesn’t work when man doesn’t do his part. As a male, you were created to conquer, rule and overcome and achieving any of those three things requires you get off your buttocks and put in work. Alexander the great wouldn’t have conquered if all he did was think about how he was going to conquer without actually conquering.

If all you do is think about your ideas, then that is what it will continue to be. IDEAS. God won’t swoop in to take that idea and establish it in real life. If your idea needs investors, get in the grind and search for them. Learn how to write business plan and keep moving. If you dream of building a website that will knock out Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp at once but you are too lazy to learn how to code or can’t hire someone to do it for you, stop expecting God to perform miracles for the website.

You wouldn’t be reading this article presently had someone not put in work to create what you are reading it on — the smartphone, laptop or PC, iPhone, tablet, website, network etc. The world is waiting to use your service or product; you just have to put in work and let God do what He does best and what is that? HE SHOWS UP AND WORKS IN PLACES YOU CAN’T.

Be a MAN ON THE RISE.
