THE POWER OF FOCUS

29^TH , JUNE 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  1 Kings 22:1-53, Acts 19:14-41, Proverbs 15:31-33, Proverbs 16:1-7

 

FIRE SCRIPTURE:   1 Kings 20:38-42

 

38 Then the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes. 

39 Now as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall [a]pay a talent of silver.’ 

40 While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.”

Then the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.”

41 And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 

42 Then he said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’ ”

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

𝐈 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄, 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒.

 

THE MESSAGE:

The word "focus" has been defined as the centre of interest or activity. It also means paying particular attention to something.

 

From the biblical story of the creation of man, it has been established that God created man with great potential which should enable him accomplish great wonders in every sphere of life. God never created man to fail. Beloved, you are created to be a brilliant performer, an accomplished achiever, an indomitable winner and a great personality soaring on the wings of divine possibilities.

Meanwhile, part of the gruesome agenda of the devil for man is to make him a perpetual object of failure and mockery by using the instrumentality of distraction against him. The devil has successfully stolen the power of focus of a lot of people.

 

Our Fire Scripture for today explains to us what lack of focus can cause anyone. As the servant was busy here and there, the prisoner was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, so shall thy judgement be: thyself hast decided it (1 Kings 20:40). A prisoner of war was placed under the watch of a soldier with the strict warning that if the prisoner should escape, his life would go for it. But the soldier lacked the power of focus; he was busy here and there and could not carry the assignment through to a glorious end.

Beloved, what I mean is that many people with great dreams, powerful visions, astounding potential, sound knowledge and superlative endowments are failing in life because they lack the power of focus. Great athletes have lost their chances of being crowned winners because of momentary lost of focus. Many great destinies and unique opportunities have been wasted because of the lack of the power of focus.

You need to know that for you to excel in life, accomplish your set goals, realise your dreams and be outstanding in your chosen career, you need the power of focus. However, it is the Spirit of Christ in the life of a man that bestows the power of focus. Do you have Jesus in your life? If not, ask Him to come into your life now.
