Distractions

Building requires a focused attitude. To build, whether to restore or to see something new established requires that one to be focused. To build the future we desire we must be obsessed with our present day goals. Your today is a result of choices you made yesterday. It follows that today will affect tomorrow. We have a responsibility to making sure that for 2010 to be a great year you and I need to build right.

Yesterday I encouraged that we build using the Word of God. Let the Word be the foundation for everything. The world is still in existence as God spoke it into being. Building on the Word gives Eternal backing!! Many of our ideas fail because they did not have the right foundation.


As you go through life one discovers that there are many distractions that seek to slow us down. One distraction in life is people who are not walking with your vision. Hear me, anyone who is not for your vision for marriage, health, career, ministry, work, business, or goal is not a friend but a distraction. No matter how much they make you laugh. Am not saying that we should be surrounded by yes men. No what am saying is that you should be careful that the people around you have bought into the vision of your life before you listen to their criticism. In fact, distraction is a polite word. The best description is such people they are a hurdle to go over or circumvent around.

Prepare yourself that in this journey of life in 2010 you will not allow any form of distractions to avert your course of life. Don't allow any relative of distraction be it procrastination or busyness take you from being a student of the Word in your pursuit of wisdom. Nehemiah did not allow the words of the detractors distract him from the heavenly vision.

The best way of beating distraction is being focused. Maintain your focus to enter into the place of your domain. Focus in your acquisition of knowledge. Focus in your pursuit of wisdom. Focus in your maintaining courage in the face of adverse circumstances. Focus on the goal at hand, to be a student of the Word.

May 2010 be a year that you are focused on fulfilling your purpose.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

It is Settled

Day 296 Reading: 1 Peter 1:1 - 1 Peter 5:14 Challenges are the way of life. We celebrate winners because they overcome hurdles. Think about it, how many times do we celebrate those who innovate or break into new frontiers. The Wright brothers did what no other person had done. They flew a plane. They conquered the law of gravity with the law of flight. Was it a one day exercise? No, it took years. The worked on a plane from 1899 to 1903 when a power plane flew and continued to perfect it and the first practical aeroplane flew in 1905. Thomas Edison is celebrated for inventing the light bulb which he displayed after many failed experiments to get it to work.  Peter in writing to the churches encourages the believers to understand the place of process. He helps the believer understand the period between the trial and deliverance or a miracle is necessary. It's necessary for you and me to learn about trusting God fully. Peter exhorts the believer to fully rest his or her ...
