Other obstacles to effective service are:
3.      Relationship
          I Corinthians 7:29, 35c
          But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth,  that both they that have wives be as though they had    none; ... that ye may attend the Lord without distraction.
Family relationship - wife, husband, brothers, relatives could serve as hindrance to entire consecration through oppositiion or through sentimental appeal, However, if you know the importance of service and the accompanying rewards you will not give in to family pressure.
          Mark 10:29,30.
          There is no man that hath left house or brethren or    sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands    FOR MY SAKE AND THE GOSPEL.         But he shall receive an hundred fold now in this time          ... and in the world to come eternal life.
You must discard earthly relationship to secure divine pleasure. Elisha was neither hindered by his parents nor by those twelve yokes of oxen. Take heed, what He will offer you no earthly uncle can.

4.      Laziness
          Some people are pathologically lazy. They are simply under the oppression of the spirit of laziness. These people will never amount to anything in secular business or in God's vineyard. If you are guilty, deliver yourself now! Get ready to do something, stand against the adversary who is set to render your life valueless.
Every obstacle is surmountable, it only takes ability to receive and obey instructions. Beloved, what is hindering you? Shun every obstacles and receive divine strength. Move forward and serve. Go into God's vineyard and labour.
I curse every spirit of laziness. I curse every spirit of indifference. Every sentimental attachment hindering you is hereby broken! You are released immediately to go and serve your Father, in Jesus precious name.
