Today I want to continue with this same topic but in a different dimension which I sub titled:
FOCUS ON YOUR ASSIGNED TASK.
The three servants who received talents from their master were given so as to invest in it and make profit in order for the master to know how productive they are but one failed, do you know why? He fail because he doesn't have a focus. If he had a focus, if he had a target, goal and a destination, he would have been rewarded but reverse was the case. But the other two were productive, it's not that it was easy, but because they have a focus, goal and a purpose, which is the reward they want to receive.
Quickly recollect the Yoruba adage says that a blacksmith that is hitting a steel on the same spot has a purpose in mind. That talks of focus in a chosen field, calling or career. Since it is very clear that God has a great assignment for everyone of us, one of the necessary ingredients needed to fulfill it is focus.
Focus means sticking to a course no matter the obstacle and difficulties. Focus means having the end in mind and giving it one's best shot. Focus will make you concentrate your effort on one thing until u are successful in it.
Many people diffuse their efforts in many things, and that is why they seem not to be getting the desired God promised result. Joseph focused on being a successful administrator in Egypt and he excelled in it. David concentrated his effort on being a great king and he made a name. Paul focused on being a minister of the gospel and his impact is still on record. My dear friend, what exactly does God want you to do? Do just that sir/ma. Don't diffuse your energy doing what God has not fashioned and anointed you for.
Multi gifted people might have a big issue with focus if they don't have an understanding of their assignments. You can do many things, but the most important thing is to do what God wants you to do. Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:13 (NLT) - "No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am FOCUSING all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead".
Dear friend, what are you focusing all your energies on?
Like we all know, life is too short to try to be the echo of another man's voice, concentrate on what God called you to do and keep doing it. Many men and women that made impact in the kingdom that I read of in the Holy Bible and pages of history were people of focus. Some of them started what God told them to do when it wasn't even popular and enticing, but they kept at it.
Today they are the best for it. My dear, don't quit because it is not working or it is not popular. Don't be distracted, if God asked you to do it, then do it. I will never forget the inspiring story of God's mighty prophet (William Branham) who abandoned his assignment because of the prominence of another area of the calling in the body of Christ. He left his assignment, embraced another and lost his life in the process. I don't know may be you are already getting discouraged because of many distractions, the counsel of God for you today is to be focused on what God asked you to do, that is the way to kingdom greatness.
Jesus did it and we can do it. I pray for all my friends that we will be and do all that God wants us to be and do for him without being distracted in Jesus name. Amen. Have a purpose driven day.
