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.

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...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
