Take Immediate Action
Dr. Creflo A. Dollar



"I'm just not ready to change; I want to get some things together before I take the plunge; I still have time to make a decision."
Have you heard these excuses before?
Maybe you or someone you know needs to make some life changes, but keeps putting them off for a more convenient time.

If you are serious about change, however, you can't wait until all conditions are favorable. Instead of continuing to put it on the back burner, make change a
priority.

Once you know an area of your life needs to be transformed, take immediate action!

I've discovered that procrastination will quench your efforts to make the necessary changes in your life. Procrastination is putting off for tomorrow what you know you need to do today.

It is one of the most frequently used tools of the enemy to stop you from making progress.
He knows if he can just get you to continually make excuses as to why you can't take immediate action, you will remain in the same situation.

The more passive you are in taking control of your destiny, the harder it will be to break into what God has for you.

He is not going to do the leg work of making changes in your life; that is your job. The Holy Spirit is your Helper, but you must initiate the process.

Three reasons why people procrastinate are
- indecisiveness,
- perfectionism and
- laziness.

Indecisiveness is when you refuse to make a decision. Usually, when someone is indecisive it is because they haven't settled within themselves that one particular option would be more beneficial than another.
When you are indecisive about changing certain areas of your life, it is usually because you aren't convinced God's way is better than your way of doing things. It could also be you fear the unknown, or that you will have to give up something enjoyable or comfortable for you.

Indecisiveness will paralyze you and keep you from moving forward into what God has for you.

The second reason for procrastination is perfectionism.
This describes the person who says all the conditions in his or her life must be perfect before changing (Ecclesiastes 11:4). It's the person who feels they need to get their life together before accepting Jesus, or feels their bank account balance has to be a certain amount before giving financially into the Kingdom of God.
Being a perfectionist is deceiving because, the reality is, conditions will never be perfect.

When it comes to making life changes, it will take stepping out in faith, even when inward and outward conditions are not the most favorable.

Finally, there is the issue of plain old laziness.
Some people procrastinate because they don't want to put forth the effort or discipline it takes to change. Being lazy is a guaranteed path to failure

Ecclesiastes 10:18
18 If a man is lazy, the rafters sag;
if his hands are idle, the house leaks.

Anything worth having comes by exerting much effort.

The truth is it will take hard work and diligence to change in certain areas. If you aren't up for the task, you might as well forget about getting results.

One thing most procrastinators have in common is they fail to realize the uncertainty of life.
Too often, people put off doing what they know they should do, thinking tomorrow is automatically promised; but it is not. In Luke 12:18—20, a rich man boasted of the fact that he possessed an abundance of material wealth. He put his security in his possessions, and his opulent lifestyle.
But to his surprise, God required his soul of him that night.
The decision to follow the Lord and trust Him should have been made while he had the opportunity.

Don't allow your life story to reflect that of the man whose soul was required of him.
Develop a sense of urgency about the things in your life you know you need to change.
Is it your finances, your relationships with your parents or spouse, an aspect of your character that is hindering your spiritual growth, or the decision to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life?

No matter what it is, don't put off for tomorrow what you should do today.

Don't allow procrastination to rob you of God's best for your life.

Take immediate action and begin living a more productive life.
