Where is your Focus?

Luke 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

2 Kings 2:10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

Imagine while taking the kids to school as you go to work, other road users doing the exact same thing, dashing to get there on time. Drivers who are early risers and could not get a bite before leaving home would want to pop something in their mouths or sip coffee from their coffee mugs. Cars coming out from different directions, drivers discovering new and shorter routes, all for one purpose and that is, not to be late. As if driving in this condition are not chaotic enough, pedestrians dashing across the road unexpectedly, car horns blaring and cell phones beeping! All these could lead to accidents when one is not careful. Distractions here and there could lead to disaster. This is why the ‘Distracted driving law’ in where I reside is very welcome.

The spiritual atmosphere is not too different from the physical. People are busy with different activities. The physical activities intertwined with the spiritual activities, thereby choking the spiritual. One has to know where to draw the line and cut back on too many activities within a given period of time. This reminds me of a sweet little 6 year old girl where I teach Sunday school. She was asked why she could not recite her memory verse for the week when asked to do so. Her response; too many activities, mom took me for barley dance class, then swimming, clinic and then I got tired and did not have time, and I forgot all about it! At first it was funny; then I became empathetic and encouraged her that it was not all that bad. I told her she could learn it for the next week. From the bible passage above, when we are focussed, there is intense light, clarity and better vision.

Elisha’s story suggests that when something good is about to happen, there is bound to be distractions even from close pals. Elisha was one of the prophets and the sons of the prophets tried to dissuade him from having his life time promise fulfilled. He refused to be distracted. He stayed focussed. Using his own words in verse 5……..Hold your peace. This is like saying, don’t bother me, I know what I am doing! You have to watch out and remain focussed.

We pray that God would open our spiritual eyes and understanding as we focus on Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith so that our spiritual lives would blossom and be robust to be like the ever green plant by the water side.

Prayer Points
1. Oh Lord, help me to remain quiet in my spirit to receive divine guidance from You in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, open my eyes to find your blueprints for my life in Jesus name.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Author: Esther Agbi

Psalm 5:12

12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield

God has made man a free moral agent. He wants us to be able to make our choices. God does not impose anything on His creature. One thing I have observed about my God is that He tries to make the choice easy by allowing you to know the outcome of your choice, even before you choose.

For example, Exodus 20, verse 12 says “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee”. It is your choice to do whatever you like, but the end result of your choice is not hidden from you. If you choose to obey your parents, you have the blessing of long life. If you choose to disobey, you will not blame your Creator for the out come. [Read more…] about THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Sweet Sleep

Sweet Sleep: By Esther Agbi

I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. Psalm 3:5 [New living Translation]

There are many things we usually take for granted. One of them is the ability to sleep and wake up. The Psalmist has made us to understand that it is not by any effort of ours that we go to bed and we are up the next morning. It is by the mercies of the Almighty God. Having a place to rest our heads is one thing, then, falling asleep is another. There are some people who do not have homes or houses they go to at the end of the day. It is a pitiable condition to be in. That shall not be our portion in Jesus’ name. [Read more…] about Sweet Sleep

Triumphant In Battle And Alive Forever

14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;  15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. [Colossians 2:14-15]

7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.  9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. [Psalm 24:7-10]

There is no controversy that Jesus is alive. He went to battle with the powers of darkness, dwelt in the belly of the earth for 3 days and came out triumphant. He rose from the grave and death had no dominion over him. [Read more…] about Living Bread

WISDOM FOUNTAIN 0307/2010 [Psalm 91 KJV]

 

STRENGTH [ I ]

 

Psalm 91:1-2  KJV  

 

 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

 

God’s word is strength to his people. Webster’s dictionary defines strength as any of the following: ability to resist attack, strain or stress; physical, emotional or mental resources. Psalm 91:1-16 indicates the type of strength and resilience God has and which we can rely on to defend us. When we are under his shadow no salvo of the enemy can reach us because we are also the apple of his very eye [Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalm 17:8].

 

Psalm 17:8  KJV  

8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

 

He watches over you day and night so that no evil may befall you. In the day of trouble he will hear you speedily. Wouldn’t you like to remain under his mighty wings of protection and safety?

 

 PRAYER OF PROTECTION

 

1.      Oh LORD, I seek protection under your shadow. Cover me with your mighty wings and be my fortress in Jesus Name.

 

 2.      Oh LORD watch over me. Encase me in the hollow of your palms and let your angels be adversary to all who want my downfall in Jesus Name. Amen.
