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.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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 ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
