Focus

By


“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful”
Josh.1:8
The principle of The Objective states thus: “Direct all efforts towards a clearly defined, decisive & attainable objective.” Three key things jump out immediately from this definition. Direct all efforts towards a Clearly Defined, Decisive and Attainable objective.

#2. Decisive: In the words of Major General Karl Von Clausewitz, “Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination”. The problem with us is that we pursue different things at the same time. They say if you chase three rabbits you catch none. Pursue one decisive aim with force and determination. What is that one thing in that area of your life that must be done? Pursue it with vigor.

I was listening to a podcast and the host was talking about his acronym for focus and I really like it. He said Focus is Follow One Course Until Success. You will most likely meet an obstacle when you follow a course. Many people get to an obstacle and start behaving like water. Water always dodges obstacles. Follow one course until success. How long do you want to start this and stop this, start that and stop that? What it means is you are not disciplined. It means you cannot bear the heat that comes with greatness.

Follow one course until success. Take business for instance; no one succeeds in business by being passive and no business succeeds by being passive. One of the passive activities businesses engage in, is cutting cost. But no business becomes great just by cutting cost. Cutting costs is necessary sometimes, but if that is your focus as a business leader, that business is not going anywhere. If you must cut cost in your business, then let the people that need to focus on that, focus on it.

You are the leader [the general], you focus on the objective. Brian Tracy says, “Businesses succeed because of high sales; businesses fail because of low sales, everything else is complimentary”. Even if you are a proprietor or you own a school, you are a sales person. You either sell that school or the school goes down. And the only person that can drive the sales is you. You are the point person. And for your life, you are the general.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, even as I set goals in this season and make plans, empower me to follow one course until success, in Jesus Name.

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

By
THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

By
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

We Fail To Achieve Greatness Because We Fear Success By John Hagee

By
John Hagee Daily Devotional Thursday 11th August 2016  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  - One reason we do not reach excellence is because of our fear of failure.  Failure is a better teacher than success.  Every great success story has its element of failure.  You have not failed until you quit; only then have you failed.  After Thomas Edison finished his 700th experiment trying to develop the electric light his assistant said, “We have failed.”  Edison replied, “No.   We have found 700 ways that will not work.  Do not call these 700 experiments mistakes; call them our education.  Now let’s keep going until we find the answer.”  Are you afraid of failure?  Then you’ll never succeed.  You’ll never stub your toe standing still.  Remember the turtle, he never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out.  You can’t succeed if you’re not willing to risk failure. Have you failed? Get up. ...
