The first secret of success in knowing and serving God is extreme hard work. Look at your academic results, were they promising for your future? If you have not worked extremely hard in your studies, you will not work extremely hard for the gospel because mediocre academics will eventually become mediocre in the gospel. Academic results are just the diagnosis of your problem.
A man who confronts his academic achievements nonchalantly will also confront the Lord's work in the same spirit. His heart grew in mediocrity. The apostle Paul says, “I worked [very hard] more than they all.” For him, it didn't start on the mission field. Because, it cannot start in the mission field. Paul as an unbeliever testifies that he had been "seriously trained." Lazy people are betrayers of the hard-working God.
