| CHRISTIAN SUCCESS ARTICLES Overcoming Procrastination |
By Doug Firebaugh |
"And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, 'How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?'"
Joshua 18:3 (KJV)
Let me ask you a question....
What exactly IS Procrastination?
It is the NATION of delay, that we many times live in, and operate our actions in.
It is the CRASS putting off what needs tobe taken on.
It is PRO for Not Starting, and against finishing.
It is the Art of Hesitation practiced.
It is the START that STOPS most people.
Those will give you an idea... it is delay, putting off of things, not finishing what you started, and not even starting what you said you would.
Glory Secret:
Procrastination is a stronghold of the evil one. Plain and simple. If you constantly practice this, you may need to get some prayer over it to conquer it!
You may not believe it, but it is... and a tool that he uses to keep us from doing the actions that God has put in our hearts, and will help create our Success.
Why is this such a tool for the evil one? Why do so many people suffer from this?
Simple...
The evil one will do all he can to get us to procrastinate, as it causes a delay in us giving God Glory, and it allows the evil one to control us in a way we are not aware of.
Understand this:
God is a God of Starting, and Finishing. And there is no exception to that.
If we are going to become more Christlike, and let our Success mirror the Glory back to Him, then we need to be aware that everytime we delay in doing what we know we need to do, we are being manipulated like a puppet by the evil one with his puppeteer strings of Killing, Stealing, and Destroying manipulating our Success.
There are Seven things that can cause Procrastination (There are more than this, but we will list only 7):
1.) "Perfectionism"
2.) "Overwhelm"
3.) "Imagination"
4.) "Fear"
5.) "Habit"
6.) "Over Analyzing"
7.) "Focusing on you being in control, instead of God".
Do you see any of these in you? Or anyone you know? All of these are part of what catalyzes delay, and in doing so, causes a delay in giving God the Glory for the Success He wants for our lives.
Glory Secret:
Anytime "I" try to RUN my life instead of God, then what you are doing is placing the letter "I" in the word RUN, and you end up with the word:
"RUIN."
The evil one wants to RUIN your future and Success by you focusing on YOU running things and NOT getting things done, versus God getting ALL done!
The word "DELAY" stands for:
"Demonically Empowered Lasso Around You".
"The cords of death entangle me, the torrents of destruction overwhelm me." Psalms 18:4 (NIV)
Do you have a Lasso of delay pulling you away from what you need to get done? A Lasso of Resistance?
Glory Secret:
The evil one's Lasso is the beginnings of a NOOSE!
And he wants to use that to choke your Success and future!
How do you breakthrough this and conquer Procrastination?
