Procrastination is the act of putting off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness, delaying something for future time. Its experienced at one stage or the other in life, its the act of finishing a project perfectly with the word of mouth without even making an attempt to start the project at all all in the habit of delaying to next time.
Its also a strategic way Satan uses to stop Believers from working on the opportunity God had granted unto them, he provide excuses and loop hole that will always make you postpone what you ought to do immediately. If you procastinate in your service towards God , you delay the manifestation of the power of God in your life today which is the instantenous answer to prayer God had made accessible for you. Matthews26;38-41 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. whilst Christ was praying the disciples were fast asleep. Just like you and I when we are meant to be on fire we become as cold as ice all in the name of tiredness. I promise I will do it tomorrow and tomorrow you will promise to do it tomorrow again and there aiint no end to the tomorrow.
Also Luke9:59-62 says He said to another man, “Follow me.”But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” When God ask you or laid in your heart to do something don't leave it till later. Every idea God place in you is a unique one so don't leave it till the time He gives it to someone else and you start saying had i know. When the enemy wants to wage war with a believer first he will switch off the light of prayer in the life of that person. that is when you begin to procastinate, though you wake up every night to pray before but now you give excuse and postpone the prayer till tomorrow. God will not move when you are cold or lukewarm, your sensitivity to God and serving him gives you a sensitive approach to life. it gives you confidence on what God will do.
You are not shaken when challenges and trials comes. If you love to do something do it and stop postponing less you would loose the opportuinity to fulfill some duties God had put in your cre.
Success is being able to do what neds to be done when it should be done. Are you pilling up your todo listst without any action plan or taking action. Procastination can keep you away from Heaven and Achievement Life. Proverb27;1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Make good use of all opportuinity. Ephesians 5;15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
