  1. SOME FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE STAGNATION
  2. LIVING WITHOUT A PURPOSE IN LIFE.  No goals, no direction, no focus, no ambition.  Such people wake up without any plan.  They just take what life brings them.  No direction.  Remember that if you don’t put anything into the day, you will get nothing from it.
  • SELF-DEVELOPMENT.  Life is dynamic.  You must be able to move with the changes at a particular season.  Gone are the days that people survive in the Banks with ordinary G.C.E. O/L.  For you not to be stagnated, you must upgrade yourself adequately to be relevant these days.
  • MISTAKES AND ERRORS CAN STAGNATE YOU.  All you need do is to correct them and move on.  There is no perfect man on earth.  Go to God in prayers to give you another opportunity.
  • LACK OF DIVINE ORDAINED HELPERS.  In John 5 v 1 – 8, the man by the pool of Bethsaida was stagnated for 38 years for lack of helpers but when Jesus visited the pool, Help came to him and 38 years old stagnation yoke destroyed.  My you receive divine help to terminate long time stagnation in your life in Jesus name.
  • PESSIMISTIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE  –  To be pessimistic is to have a negative mind set.  Never see anything good/positive in life.  That is not the mind of Christ.  This negative attitude will stagnate you until you trust the word of God in Mark 10 v 27, with me it may not be possible but not with God for with God all things are possible.
  • PROCRASTINATION  –  Leaving what is supposed to be done today till tomorrow will invite stagnation.  Procrastination is the graveyard of good ideas.
  • KEEPING WRONG COMPANY  
  • 1 Cor. 15 v 33

“Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

  • If you move with rebellious people you will be stagnated forever.  Ps. 68 v 6b  –  But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
  • If you are an eagle but keep company with chickens, bats, ducks and ostriches, you will be stagnated and regimented.    Bats can’t fly high and are partially blind.  Chickens fly very short distances, Ostriches cannot even lift up themselves.  Select your company.  Don’t move with failures.  Prov. 13 v 20.  “He that walketh with wise me shall be wise, but a companion of fool shall be destroyed.  Remember deep calleth unto deep and Iron sharpneth iron”
  • TRUSTING IN THE ARM OF FLESH  
  • Psalm  127 v 1  

“Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.”
