Get Focused

If the answer is yes, then ask yourself some serious questions.

1) “Do I know God’s will for my life, or do I not have a clue what He’s created me for?”

2) “Do I have direction, or am I just wandering around aimlessly?”

3) “Do I know exactly what I want and how I’m going to get there, or do I just wait and see what’s going to happen?”

4) “Do I have goals, and if so, are they written down?”

5) “Am I confessing what God’s Word says about me daily, or do I even know any of God’s Word?”

2 Corinthians 4:4 says, Satan has become the god of this world. If you live life passively, he will destroy you!

As Christians, we are just passing through and we must be like Jesus, completely focused on our mission. Too many Christians are confused because they do not have a clue as to why they are here. That’s why I always encourage people to get focused.

You are created with a purpose! You may say, “I know, but I don’t know what my purpose is.” If that’s what you are saying, the devil has successfully faked you out.

God has a purpose for each person and I believe your purpose is in your interests! You will never be ultimately successful doing something you do not enjoy.

Is your work "just a job," or do you truly enjoy it? Ecclesiastes 2:24 says, “Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor.”

So, ask yourself what it is that you like to do? Once you discover it, then do it with all your might. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”

It is vital that you know God’s will for your life. Things that are not God’s will for you get frustrating. They don’t manifest positive results because they are not part of God’s plan. In those cases you must be honest with yourself and stop pursuing those things.

But, if you know with all your heart that God has spoken something to you, you must pursue it with everything you’ve got.

But, even though something is God’s will for your life does not mean that it will always come easy. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:9, “A wide door of opportunity has opened unto me, and with it, many adversaries.”

Unfortunately, the devil is not just going to sit by and watch as you become outrageously blessed. You would become a huge threat to his devious plans to mess up the lives of other people. So you becoming outrageously blessed would not be in the devil’s best interest and he knows it.

Now, the devil will bug you whether you’re successful or not. You might as well be successful, so get focused!
