It is a thing to marvel that some Christians believe that Prayer alone can do all things. Where is Good Work? They believe that by continuous prayer and fasting, God will elevate them from poverty to prosperity.

They do not want to wake up early to look for work to do. They do not want to take time to learn a skill. They hope for a mouth-watering pay job, while rejecting small offers. All they know how to do is to pray, pray, fast and pray. They pray at home, they pray in the church, they attend prayer programmes, they pray in the mountains…

Some hang on to prophecy of a man of God for the month, believing God will bring it to pass in their lives. From one month to another, shuttling from one prophecy to another; they do nothing else, only waiting for the promise to be fulfilled.

‘O foolish Galatians’, when will you learn? Who creates the job? Who learns the skill? If everyone behaves like you; who creates the goods and services? Who employs the other?

Bezaleel was skilled and that’s why God called him for the task. Exodus 35:30. Faith without good work is dead, so is prayer without action. Help yourself and help the economy. Rise up from those knees and go and do something, no matter how small.

Pray as if everything depends on prayer. Work as if everything depends on work.
