Diligence + hardwork + God = success
God is the creator of the world where he has patterned how everything will look like.
Everything we do in this life always has a sequence without a man and a woman coming together, there will be no production of babies. It also balls down to greatness, where without hardwork and diligence, there won't be greatness.
There is never a short cut to greatness, God is giver of wisdom where in the Bible, Deuteronomy 8:18 it says that God has given us the power to create wealth. Every wealth is wealth, but every wealth not from God doesn't last, it has terrible consequences behind it. God gives you wealth in peace while the devil gives you wealth in pain and agony, but however God will never give you greatness or wealth when you are lazy. There is a saying I have always heard even from my childhood "heaven helps those who help themselves". Whatever you want to achieve, work hard in christ and then your greatness is achieved.
Note, a notion should be cleared here, where people say that God delays in answering prayers. God has patterned everything that at the right time he will give you what you want, diligence is the key thing here. God will never want you to suffer but will give you what you deserve and not what you desire. You might be working hard to attain what you desire but have you prayed to get confirmation from God if that is what he desire for you?
Don't relent, be persistent, press on, be diligent and pray. Have a great time dear steemians.
What a beautiful equation!
Even God doesn't like a lazy servant. We have to try to be hardworking as SteemChurch parishioners. Thanks for sharing.

Hardwork is not necessarily a criteria for success but even when success comes without working too hard, one might have shown diligence. God will always crown our efforts with success when we loyally follow him. Thanks for sharing.
Excellently written @bhenjosh! I think many Christians today have become lazy on the account that God can supply all their needs. They fail to work hard and then they complain that God has abandoned them, when things eventually go wrong. Thanks for writing on this today.
Thanks for this.
A man that put God at the center of all he does along with hardwork will surely make wave in all he does.
Idleness creates laziness, and laziness needs. Look at the ant and watch its paths. First from the natural point of view, then the spiritual one. "He who has no captain, nor governor, nor lord, prepares his food in the summer, and gathers in the time of harvest his maintenance." Prov. 6: 7-8. God bless you thank you for sharing
It is very pathetic to see how our world is becoming today, everyone wants to be rich overnight forgetting that success takes time. God gave man work in the beginning and expected man to work, He could have given man everything but decided to allow him to work hard and discover things for himself and to change his world. God indeed takes delight in people who are diligent and rewards thier labour:
Pro 13:11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but whoever works diligently increases his prosperity
Hard work pays but sometimes you need to "work smart" and not "work hard" to succeed. Not to forget always put God first and your hard work will be fruitful. Thanks for sharing
The formula for reaching success is amazing deligince hard work and God is perfect .some people apply only the first two leaving God outside the equation. Let's adapts the attitude of adding God in all equation
We must blend our hardwork with the blessings of God, it's like planting a seed without water, we must water our soil with the God, for us to achieve godly success
God is the giver of all things, He has the capacity to bless us but He required us to play our own part by being diligent in whatsoever we are doing.
A man that is diligent in his work with the fear of God will seat before kings and Queens
