There is a direct relationship between laziness and poverty.

Laziness is a demon. However, no amount of prayer and fasting can destroy it.

The only anti-dote to laziness is DILIGENCE! Laziness shows in both the young and old.

Also, there are lazy Christians and lazy atheists! Laziness also manifests itself both mentality and physically. 

Moreso, it is very easy to identify a lazy person.

They have observable characteristics.

A lazy person stays up late doing the wrong things, sometimes not really doing anything at all. A lazy person usually wakes up late. A lazy person is always running late for school, work, and other appointments. A lazy person goes to church late, every time.  A lazy person like to procrastinate on assignments and appointments. Lazy people usually submit assignments late. A lazy person is an easy prey to envy and jealousy. Laziness can collapse a ministry. Laziness can make you lose elections. Laziness can destroy your health and well-being. Laziness can hinder your spiritual growth.

Laziness breeds envy and jealousy. Lay people get offended when they see others doing well and progressing in life. In fact, lazy folks see the success of diligent people are an insult to them.

Laziness can, however, be very destructive in every respect. Laziness can collapse a business! Laziness can destroy a marriage! Laziness can destroy a relationship! Laziness can make you lose a job opportunity. Laziness can hinder your promotion at the office. Laziness can lead to indebtedness! A lazy person is never able to pay his bills and he is always financially handicapped. A lazy person enjoys borrowing! Laziness can also kill you before your time.

 It is highly impossible to be lazy and wealthy at the same time.

Laziness and poverty are inseparable like Siamese twins!

But you can break the spirit of laziness by practicing diligence.

It can be done!
