Bishop David emphasizes that hard work is a fundamental biblical and covenant key to success. He stresses that believers must combine their faith with committed, consistent effort, rather than relying on prayer alone, to achieve great results.
 
Key principles from the sermon
Diligence is a covenant demand for success: Oyedepo argues that hard work is not merely an optional human endeavor but a spiritual requirement for believers. In his view, faith is demonstrated through action, and without diligent effort, even a glorious destiny will fail to materialize.

Work precedes reward: The sermon teaches that blessings and success are the products of labor. The scripture "If any man would not work, let him not eat" is frequently cited to support the idea that nothing works without human effort behind it.
Slothfulness destroys destiny: Oyedepo warns that laziness is a destructive force that can prevent believers from reaching their full potential. He encourages a rejection of a life of mediocrity, which he links to a lack of diligent effort.

Diligence attracts favor: Citing the proverb that "a diligent man will stand before kings" (Proverbs 22:29), Oyedepo teaches that hard work is what leads to promotion and puts individuals in positions of influence and honor.

Success requires more than just wishes: The message directly contrasts wishing for success with working for it. He makes it clear that success is a product of sustained, painstaking effort, not wishful thinking.

Time management and discipline are crucial: The Force of Diligence is not just about raw effort but also involves self-discipline and the effective management of time. These are the secrets, according to Oyedepo, that guarantee sustainable greatness.
