FOCUS

Prov 4:25-27 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil

            Everything God does in your life he will do to increase your concentration and focus on your assignment – single most purpose in life. Everything Satan does will seek to clutter and fragment your focus.

            The only reason men fail is because of broken focus. Every time God speaks to you, writes you or appears to you, it is to support your focus so that your focus will facilitate your assignment in life (Prov 4:25-27). As hard as it is for me to accept, God will move things I love out of my life to keep me Focused on my single most definite purpose in life.

            Satan cannot destroy you, he can only distract you. Anything Satan says to you, reveals to you or attracts to you will be to break your focus. Just as the devil showed up in the Garden to get Adam to break his focus by looking at the fruit God said to stay away from, so will the devil come at you for the purpose to break your focus: Get you to look at something that will cause you to be disobedient.

            Focus is the absolute Criteria of all relationships in your life.  All and any relationships in your life that enhance, support, add, grow and promote the Focus in your life are the relationships that are permitted.  All relationships that break, subtract or diminish your focus away from your purpose or assignment are the relationships that you need to reject. Anybody that breaks your focus on God is being used of the devil. Anybody that increases your focus on your assignment is being used of God.

            Those who are attracted to you that subtract, weaken or hinder your focus, they are the people you should restrict your relationship with. Those who enhance, add, inspire and encourage your focus, they are the people you are to have a relationship with. If they’re rebellious, leave them. If they’re sinful, shun them. If they’re negative, upsetting, hate or against what you are for, disconnect from them. You can be respectful but not submissive.

            Focused light turns into energy. Focused attention turns into talent. Focused faith turns into a miracle. Focused work turns into prosperity. Focused prayer turns into availing much. And focused planning turns into accomplishment. Turn away from distraction and FOCUS. You can DO what God has placed inside your heart to do.
