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.

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...

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 ...

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...
