DON’T BE DISTRACTED
“so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.”
2 Corinthians 2:11 (ESV)
The adversary knows that what takes your attention influences your direction. And what you focus on becomes your goal.
When he wants to move the direction of your life away from the course of the Lord and the purpose of God for your life, he must redefine your attention. This is one of the most subtle bad deadly weapons of the devil.
There are many who have looked back on their lives with regret because they lost focus. They started off life with great potential and a desire to accomplish so much for the Lord.
Yet in their pursuit of purpose, they lost focus and steered their love away from God’s intention for them.
The devil doesn’t distract you with evil. Knowing the condition of your heart, he will first distract you with what also seems to be good.
What do you think is the enemy of the best?
The enemy of the best is the “good” and not the “worst”.
Genuine family situations or career choices move people away from the pursuit of God’s perfect will for their lives. Nobody got distracted by reasons that first appeared foolish. People get distracted from God’s purpose for their lives by reasons which seem genuine.
A lady who had great potential and was marked as one going to do great things in the Kingdom lost focus because she was asked to spend more time with “Study group” friends in school than friends from Church.
That was how her desires were redirected from matters pertaining to God. Her desires for the Lord were watered down and became wayward. She lost her bearing of hope.
Some withdrew from a specific Church Assembly for petty reasons or reasons which were not inspired by the Holy Spirit and could not grow spiritually any more. There are places God plants you, so that He may usher you into greater manifestations.
God doesn’t want you to be ordinary, so He ushers you into a company of believers who dare to do extraordinary things. The adversary will do whatever it takes to distract you from such company.
There are people who think all Churches are the same. And you can become what God has called you to be, irrespective of where you find yourself. That is not true. Not every company of believers have a tailored system to nurture your greatness.
“Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NLT)
When Peter decided to look at the storm instead of Jesus, he began to sink (Matthew 14:30). Don’t make decisions because of challenges. Make choices which are consistent with the revelation of Jesus.
It is a trap to think you have to withdraw from your engagements with the Lord, so that you can focus on a family challenge, employment situation or a financial concern.
The adversary is luring you away from your mandate. He doesn’t want you to take and be consistent with what the Lord has begun in you.
He may even use family members, a fellow believer or a close friend to distract you. Always pay attention to the voice of the Lord.
Stay alert, maintain and imbue focus.
Selah.
Isaiah 7-9
2 YEARS PLAN
Judges 17
I imbue focus
I leave no room for distractions.
Thank you Lord Jesus for Machaira with Apostle Bennie
I imbue focus.
I don’t get distracted.
My eye is singled on the Lord.
Thank You Lord Jesus
I continually set my mind on the Lord
I don’t get distracted
Thank you lord Jesus!
I am courageous!
I’m not a victim of the adversary!
My gaze is on you lord Jesus!
My focus is on you lord!
Thank you Apostle sir
My focus is the Lord
I imbue focus
I maintain and imbue focus on that which the Lord has called me unto
Thank you Lord Jesus
There are places God plants you, so that He may usher you into greater manifestations!!!
I give heed to the voice of the Lord always!!!
I trust God’s training!!!!
No one will see the devil and run to him unless people who have set themselves as agents of his orchestrations
He will give you a perfect reason you should stay away and say it is common sense he will even use some company of friends to make you think what God is using you for is a brainwash and slavery to make your pastor famous and you stay stagnant but no
No man has faithful served and has never been exalted even if excuse me to say he served one who was not called by God but is taking advantage of him because of his faithfulness God can relocate him to a better place for his appearing only if that fellow yields to Gods voice
There is always an advantage in God
And it’s a great privilege to build with him but it comes with its own dealings which is to die to a lot of things of which if you yield your life will be a fragrance to others
It doesn’t come smooth to walk with God in the flesh but in the spirit He supplies you strength and if the true man is your spirit then we have the strength of God to do his will
I refuse to be distracted!
Ever focused!
Ever concentrated!
Thank you Lord Jesus.
The direction of every believer is towards their attention. Hence the devil tries to distract our attention so that He can lure us away from purpose. Knowing very well that the bearing of the believer’s life is dependent on His attention. He could even present “good” job offers and other opportunities to steal the attention of the saints.
The believer therefore needs not take a quick decision because of a situation, believers should take decisions only towards God purpose and consider the outcome of one’s decisions on the ministerial assignment committed to him.
