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: 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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
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 the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
