F.O.C.U.S
HABAKKUK 2:1
I will stand my watch and set
myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will
answer when I am corrected.
For any Christian to satisfy God
and appreciate in a chosen career, something is highly important. This I call
focus.
Focus is never a talent but a
skill to be acquired. The prophet in the text of consideration said ‘there I
will wait to see what the Lord says’ focus is the combination of two key words
‘wait & see’
A person who can’t wait on God can
never receive or see His divine manifestation. Do you still remember a popular
phrase ‘let’s wait and see’ it is a typical challenge to everybody reading this
article.
Jesus also reiterated this when
He said watch and pray. The two Greek words mostly interpreted as watch are ‘paratereo
and phulake’ both means ‘to observe or keep guard’.
A single lost of focus can throw
ones life into the den of satan.
Note the word of Apostle Peter
(Peter 5:8) ‘be vigilant, be sober for your enemy the devil lurks around looking
for whom to devour’. The word vigilant means ‘to be watchful or keep focus’
You need focus to succeed in
everything in this world. The reason satan kingdom is growing is because each
demon is focused on the assignment giving to him.
An athlete who is always looking
at the back while on track without a focus on the finishing line would run in
vain I Cor 9:24-27.
The challenges in front of us as
children of God is to be focus on the journey to the kingdom of God despite the
importance of this we must be productive, John 15:5, depopulating the kingdom
of satan.
How do we do this other than
re-engineering our focus on the charge of Jesus in Matt 28:19-20.
We can not remain like this, the
issue of doctrine is far killing the church
of Jesus worldwide, I belong
to Paul or Apollo has sucked our mission to mere jamboree Christianity. Which
way do we go brethren?
As
I write this, I am embittered because the wind of doctrine and vain glory have
hijacked our main priority Eph 4:14
Apostle
Paul writing to the Galatians called them foolish and asked if they have been
bewitched to start elevating the irrelevance above the relevant. Gal 3:1-3
I am not writing against doctrine
for edification but against doctrine as a prison to grow as a child of God.
Which is more important Jesus or doctrine?
Do we have any other ministry than
Jesus birth, teaching, lifestyle, death, resurrection, victory over death and
His second coming?
We keep deceiving ourselves by
thinking we can do it anyhow and get to the destination. Watch out for the
conclusion of this article tagged ‘becoming a focus Christian’.
