Mathew 24:45-46 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing”
Having success in life is not a guess work, neither is it by coincidence. It takes the attitude of being responsible to have success and to maintain it. Without it, whatever you aim at will only become a pipe dream.
Being responsible means that, you have made and will make yourself to be accountable for anything that happens with whatever you have been entrusted with- time, money, resources, people, relationships, opportunities, etc.,
One dictionary definition also explains “responsible” this way, that when you are responsible for something, it is your job or duty to deal with it and make decisions relating to it. According to the Collins Dictionary, responsible people behave properly and sensibly, without needing to be supervised.
From the above explanations, it makes it clear that, for people to stand out in life, they must be responsible. This permeates all aspects of one’s life. You must be responsible as a Christian, you must be responsible in and with your education, you must be responsible in your matrimonial home, you must be responsible in your ministry, you must be responsible at your work place, etc.
In Mathew 24:45, the Bible says “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season”. You see, it takes being responsible to do what is expected of you at the right time and at the right place. Responsible folks know what duty or charge have been entrusted into their hands and they stretch themselves to deliver without giving any excuse or whatsoever.
You see, people who are responsible show that they are wise and faithful nothing more nothing less. As Christians God expects us to take charge over our lives and anything that has been entrusted into our hands. One undeniable attribute of people who are responsible is that they have results to show forth for anything that has been placed in their care. Are you responsible? How have you managed the resources, time, money and the opportunities that have come your way? Do you give so called “tangible excuses” for what you MUST do?
You see, no matter how you describe a reason for your failure, you have still failed. The only thing that defeats failure is success, and results- positive results. Have a clear understanding of what your assignment entails and device practical ways by which you can carry them out with perfection.
Learn never to give excuses when given a task. Go all out and put in your best to accomplish that task. Also, learn not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Be diligent and your gifts will set you before great men.
Growth, order and success are undeniable when you take responsibility of your life and everything that has been entrusted into your care.
