IF GOD IS YOUR FOCUS, YOU WILL EMERGE A FOCUS

THEME: FOCUS ON GOD

ANCHOR TEXT: “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame” Psalms 34:5.

Have you ever been in the company of someone who makes time with God a priority? There is a sort of radiance in his attitude and overall outlook. He is always enthusiastic, hopeful and joyful. His attitude of focusing intently on God instead of worldly affair magnifies God’s glory on him. Keeping focus on Christ means to fade out everything that pulls you away from connecting to Him.

It’s a disciplined lifestyle of choosing to see every blessing and struggle of now through the lens of Christ. It means resting your case on God’s injunction: ‘Cast your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you’ (1 Peter 5:7). When you commit all to Him, He will perfect all that concerns you.

Peter and John in Acts 3, made God their focus and they became ‘semi gods’ to the people as a result of the erupt of miracles. The man at the beautiful gate was made perfect, crippled leg restored in the name of Jesus. If they were not living pleasing to God, they would not have been able to do such exploit. They left all the worldly cares to be with Jesus, and they were richly blessed.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations. As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California and

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name. Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13. When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was their time b
