Diligence Pays

DILIGENCE PAYS:

Beloved brethren, let us talk about hard work.

Proverbs 10:4 KJV, says:

"He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: 
but the hand of the diligent maketh rich".

A simpler version of that verse says:

"Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth."

This proverb is a powerful reminder that hard work and dedication really do pay off. 

It is easy to desire quick results, but true success often comes from consistent effort over time. 

Quick results can be exciting but they are not sustainable.

Lasting success is a product of diligence, consistency and patience.

Work hard on your hard work: you will not regret.

Stay diligent, stay focused: it will speak at the end.

Diligence

ITIONAGUO NI ITHAYO: 
"Wealth is Not Gotten By Lazy People"

Beloved brethren, none of us chose to be born where we were born.

The world is becoming a village, but that does not mean we ignore the wealth, the wisdom and the warmth that comes from our roots.

"Itionaguo ni ithayo" is a powerful Kikuyu proverb that highlights a universal truth: 

This proverbs means wealth and success are not born of idleness. 

It simply means lazy people should not expect to be wealthy or successful. 

This wisdom reminds us that hard work, diligence, and perseverance are the cornerstones of prosperity.

In today's world, where instant gratification, and shortcuts, are often glorified, this proverb serves as a timely reminder of the enduring value of hard work. 

Proverbs 10:4 (KJV) teaches the same thing.

"He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: 
but the hand of the diligent maketh rich."

Let this ancient wisdom inspire us: 
•To cultivate a strong Work Ethic,
•To embrace Challenges as Opportunities for Growth, and 
•To never shy away from doing our best to achieve our desired goals. 

True wealth is not just about material possessions.

True wealth comes with personal growth, personal honour and generational impact.

Remember, ITIONAGUO NI ITHAYO.

I better walk alone than walk with ITHAYO.
