their major trademark. Some of the

2. Lazy people always blame others for their state.
3. Lazy people always have victim/entitlement mentality.
4.Lazy people are always prone to stealing
whenever the opportunity comes.They steal from God (tithe defaulters) and from people (corruption and embezzlements).
5. Lazy people are always greedy and covetous with delusion of grandeur.
6. Lazy people are always idle.
7. Lazy people love too much sleep.
8. Lazy people watch too much television.
9. Lazy people waste too much time on
unprofitable things.

10 Lazy people are always very stingy because they want to keep all they have to themselves alone.
11.Lazy people always procrastinate by pushing till later what they can do now because they are too lazy to act promptly.
12. Lazy people are prone to drug and alcohol addiction because these give them temporary deception amidst their laziness.
13. Lazy people are always party freaks and sex freaks because they don‟t have value for time or themselves.
Let‟s hear what Solomon David has to say
about lazy people
He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. – Proverbs 10:4
He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. -Proverbs 10:5
Slack hands lead to poverty.
Sleeping at the wrong time leads to poverty.
The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor. -Proverbs12:24
Lazy people end up in forced labour without results.
The lazy man does not roast what he took in  hunting, But diligence is man‘s precious
possession. -Proverbs 12:27
This is an amazing revelation. How can a man who has gone to hunt by labouring hard still be called lazy? He is lazy because he hunted, caught, but did not roast or process. Raw material is useless until processed to become a useful product. You can‟t eat raw meat, so your hunting is useless if your meat has become stale due to lack of roasting or preservation.
Can you see now that procrastination can be traced to laziness? What could you have done that you are yet to do? Many nations and individuals are like this lazy man, they stop at the raw material phase.
No wonder our nation Nigeria is still the way it is. We still operate the crude life by selling crude oil for others to process and resell to us at many times the original price. We are still selling crude oil in the 21st century, rather the processed oil. Unprocessed goods are too raw to attract their real value.
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger. -Proverbs 19:15
Constant and unnecessary sleep is the
trademark of the lazy.
Laziness leads to idleness and ends up in
hunger.
The lazy man will not plow because of winter;He will beg during harvest and have nothing. –
Proverbs 20:4
Lazy people give excuses with everything
possible.
Lazy people always beg for things in life.

Avoid laziness at all cost if you desire to rich and wealthy. Laziness is dangerous and will make you serve others.
