*SPIRIT FILLED SLOTHFUL CHRISTIAN?*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  24 March 2024*


SCRIPTURE: Not Slothful in Business; fervent in Spirit; serving the Lord - *Romans 12:11*


Is it Possible to have a Spirit filled, Slothful Christian?


The answer is No.


God is a Spirit: and they that Worship Him must Worship in Spirit and in Truth - *John 4:24*


*Slothfulness does not reflect the Character of our God, and therefore, one can not be Slothful in Kingdom Business and be in Spirit.*


Our Bible Text says we must put away  Slothfulness in Business in order to be fervent in Spirit, serving the Lord.


*What is Slothfulness?*


*Slothfulness is taken from the name of an animal called Sloth with the following features:*


• Their Mobility rate is about 120ft Per day.


• They spend about 15 to 20 hours daily Sleeping.


• They have an Exceptionally Low Metabolic rate.


*Summarily, Sloths are Sluggish and very inactive most of the time.*


*Therefore, the Slothful are known for Slowness, Sluggishness, Inactivity, and Reluctance to work.*


*The common Synonyms of Slothfulness include: Laziness, Sluggishness, Idleness, etc.*
