BE FOCUSED.

Proverbs 4:25

Keeping our eyes on the goal, on our destination, on our target is necessary for us to achieve and make the needed impact.
Jesus was a very focused person. We should be too.
Jesus was focused on His assignment, His ministry, and the will of the Father. For Him  it was like meat, His daily food. That was His passion.
John 4:31-34

He didn't allow anything including hunger to break His focus.
Matthew 4:4
John 4:31-34

Jesus could endure all He endured because He was looking to the future. 
Hebrews 12:2
Jesus stayed focused because He knew the future is always more important than the present.
Hebrews 12:3
Anyone who can see a glorious future ahead will be able to endure the inconvenience of today.
Joseph stayed focused because of the future God showed him in the form of dreams he had at seventeen.

To achieve and be the best you can be you will have to be focused. 
Proverbs 5:1,2

The lion is regarded as the king of the jungle, a strong beast and a survivor.
These great and manly qualities are associated with the lion but very few people emphasize the ability of the lion to focus.
Focus is one of the key strengths of the lion.
If you can break the focus of a lion, you can escape from it's attack or even defeat it.
The sight of the lion is one of it's great assets.

Lions have sight far better and sharper than human beings have.
They can spot their prey many miles away.
The eagle is another animal that's remarkable.
The eagle is regarded as the king of the skies.
The eagle is a very focused bird.
The eagle has superior sight and vision, this is part of its survival quality.

It's interesting Jesus is identified as a lion and an eagle in scriptures.
Deuteronomy 32:10,11
Revelation 5:5
Like our Master Jesus we have the spiritual qualities of eagles and lions within us.
John 20:21
Like our Master, we should be focused as He was and as eagles and lions are.
Nothing, not hunger, not the glories of this world or challenges could stop Jesus.
It's God's will that what He has started in our lives He will finish it.
God is focused on His tasks and so should we.
 Philippians 1:6

God is a finisher and completer.
He wants us to be like Him.
An individual who's not focused will not finish or complete anything.
Nehemiah finished the building of the wall.
God finished and completes because He is focused.
The Apostle Paul finished his assignment. 
2 Timothy 4:7
When we are focused we will begin to finish and complete. 
Acts 20:24

Jesus could announce "it's finished" because He had been focused going about His assignment when He was on earth as a human being.
John 19:30

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
