The necessity of focus

“And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.” 1 Kings 20: 39-40

Your goals need all your energy, don’t break your focus. When focus is broken, chances of success are reduced and in some cases may be totally lost. Beloved, don’t be busy here and there, focus on your assignment and God will bless you with success.

In innovation, concentration (focus) brings illumination. When you focus, you will be able to see all that is needed to see and consequently be able to do all that is needed to do. Jesus said, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Focusing all your energy on one major important assignment you have identified, will give you breakthrough. The servant in our text today was given an assignment to keep a man during a battle. He was told that if the man should escape, he would pay a fine or worst, with his life. But the bible says, as the man was busy here and there, his target escaped. He lost because of broken focus.

Beloved, deal with distractions and your success is guaranteed.

Prayer for today: Oh God help me to focus on my assignment (s) this year, deliver me from any form of distraction in Jesus name.
