DON’T PROCRASTINATE-2
Joshua 2:21 “And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.”

Joshua 2:22 “And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.”

…From yesterday…

Many believers don’t have a problem with divine instructions, prayers, fasting and other ordinances, they only have problems with timing and setting out.

They have been consumed with the statement, “I will do it” until they eventually don’t. Many people have been struggling with taking actions on certain things for several years, which has caused them to be stagnated in life.

Procrastination is actually playing the waiting game, deferring action, using delay tactics and dragging one’s feet. It is the bane of many people and has led to the downfall of several. To procrastinate is very easy to do, much more easy to rationalise but very tough to overcome.

Mason Cooly said, “Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.”

This syndrome has eaten very deep into the very fabrics of many of us. We all do it but then we must come to an understanding that it could spell doom. It is very easy to say, “I will do it later” and before you realise what is happening, the statement changes to, “I will do it tomorrow”, and tomorrow keeps repeating itself until we forget about it. Hear Solomon’s counsel:

Proverbs 27:1 “Never boast about tomorrow. You don’t know what will happen between now and then.” (GNB)

Anything could happen when you keep putting important things off. Delay most times could be dangerous. If Rahab had postponed the tying of the scarlet, she could have misplaced it or forget the instruction out rightly!

Several things causes procrastination and I will want us to discuss one or two then look at how to deal with it.

The first thing that causes procrastination in my opinion is laziness. To be lazy means unwillingness to work or make an effort. Some people are simply lazy and wouldn’t lift a finger that is a terrible attitude.
