Whether you admire Donald Trump or strongly oppose him, one thing is undeniable: his work ethic is remarkable. Since his inauguration on January 20, Trump hit the ground running with a pace that surprised many. While most political leaders talk about their “first 100 days,” Trump shared a “100 hours in office” video showcasing how much had already been done. This proactive approach stands in sharp contrast to what we often see in West African politics, where leaders tend to move slowly, delivering far less than they promised during campaigns.
Trump’s approach teaches us a valuable lesson: diligence and action. Proverbs 22:29 says, “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings.” It is important to note that succeeding at the high level demands resilience and consistency. Recent events suggest that Trump’s success in business wasn’t by chance; it came from relentless work and bold action. His transition into politics mirrors the same drive, making it clear that success often follows those who take initiative and work hard. As believers, our missions and goals require similar dedication if we want to achieve real impact.
Ultimately, we can draw inspiration from this. There is so much to learn. Whatever your calling—business, ministry, or leadership—hitting the ground running is essential. God rewards those who are diligent in their work. Don’t fall into the trap of postponing or delaying what God has placed in your heart. Talk is cheap. Anybody can promise anything to get votes. But excellence in execution is one of the most important traits of a winner. Be quick to act and persistent in execution. The world is watching, and your effort will be a testimony of God’s excellence. Whether you’re liked or not, let your work speak for itself.
