Stay Focused

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light” Matt.6:22
Do not be in a hurry to judge people because you do not know where God has taken them from and you do not know where God is taking them. Someone walks up to me and reels out a list of judgments for another person that they insist I must execute. I simply smile at such people and never really say anything. And in my mind I am thinking, I know where this same judgmental person came from. So how can it be him or her that is pulling out the judgmental stick on someone else? But I do not say anything - I just smile. Many times, we write off people that God has tagged as work in progress. Sometimes we even want to put a full stop where God is saying, work to be continued. Do not write off anybody.

The third enemy of exploitation is Distraction. Back in 1941, in the days of Hitler, there was an operation called “Operation Barbarossa”. Hitler had three million solid soldiers that marched into Russia and in the first few months, they had taken 1.5 million Russian soldiers captive and killed many more. They were marching towards Moscow. Joseph Stalin and his aides had already come up with a plan to escape, abandon Moscow and run for their lives. But as they marched towards Moscow, Hitler saw Kiev and was tempted to take Kiev. So Hitler and his men decided to make a quick detour and they encircled Kiev popularly known as the Kiev encirclement. But Kiev deployed the Citadel principle and pushed back. Even though the Nazis defeated and conquered Kiev but by the time they were done, they were depleted and their resources gone. The Russian winter had kicked in so they could no longer take Moscow. Would they have been able to take Moscow? Definitely but Kiev was a costly distraction.

So I pray that God will give your enemy the distraction that they need in Jesus Name. Everyone encroaching on you and on your territory, everyone advancing towards your Moscow, God will give them a distraction that will deplete their resources and incapacitate their forces, in Jesus Name. So while we need to move quickly on opportunities, we have to stay on track. That word “single” emphasized in today’s scriptural reference means healthy [clear, focused]. Identify what is distracting you and get rid of it.

Prayer:  Father, please help me not to write off anyone that You have created and to eliminate distractions on the path to fulfilling my destiny, 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: 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...

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 ...
