The Discipline of Focus
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth… then thou shalt make thy way prosperous. (Joshua 1:8) Focus is not accidental—it is a discipline. God told Joshua that prosperity would come when he remained committed to the Word. Commitment to the Word requires discipline. Discipline means keeping your attention on what […]
Focus Like Abraham
He considered not his own body now dead… neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb. (Romans 4:19) Abraham is a remarkable example of focus. When God gave him a promise, everything in the natural seemed to contradict it. He and Sarah were far past the age of childbearing, and every natural circumstance shouted, “It’s impossible.” […]
Focus on Staying With What God Said
Observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. (Deuteronomy 5:32) One of the most powerful keys to success in the Kingdom is very simple—stay with what God said. Many people begin well, but distractions eventually pull their attention […]
The Power of Your Mind
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) Your mind is one of the most powerful gifts God has given you. It was designed with incredible capacity and potential. In fact, your mind is the tool through which transformation takes place. When your mind is filled with God’s Word, it becomes […]
Determined for a Glorious Finish!
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13) A question you must ask yourself as a child of God is this: do you finish what you start? Or are you constantly beginning new things without completing the old ones? Starting is exciting, but finishing requires determination and perseverance. As a Christian, […]
No More Delay
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. (2 Corinthians 3:5) One thing that quietly limits many people is—procrastination. It often disguises itself as “waiting for the right time.” But deep down, it is hesitation fueled by doubt or excuses. You are not […]
Get Rid of Excuses
That ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:9) Excuses are subtle, but they are costly. As long as you entertain them, excellence will remain distant. You can’t live a life of glory while holding on to mediocrity. Excuses keep you […]
Beyond Your Feelings
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15) Many believers obey God only when they “feel inspired” to do so. Their decisions are based on emotions. Some days they feel bold; other days they feel quiet, tired, or unsure. But the call to preach the Gospel was never […]
Make It Bow
For if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:13) Many people are reacting to life instead of leading it. They respond to circumstances as if circumstances are in charge. But that’s not your identity. Everything in this world was created to respond to faith. But if […]
Are You Living From the Inside?
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. (Romans 8:9) As a Christian one thing you must ask yourself is—are you living from the inside, or are you reacting to everything outside? There’s a big difference. Many believers know they have […]
