Power Of Focus Matthew 6:22-23 (KJV) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
TO FOCUS IS: II Kings 6:15-17 (KJV) And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
*FOCUS IS BEING SINGLE MINDED. MANY CHRISTIANS NEVER REACH THE FULL POTENTIAL GOD HAS FOR THEM, BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY STAGGER OR DRIFT LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER AT FULL-STEAM AHEAD. DIRECTION MUST BE SOMETHING YOU SEEK AFTER. James 1:5-8: (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in
faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the
wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A
double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. If you don't ask with faith, don't expect the Lord to give you any solid answer.
Part 2 Matthew 6:34 (KJV) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow
shall take thought for the things of itself.
*KNOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT. IDENTIFY WHAT IS URGENT, 7 points to accomplish and complete the vision: Part 3 Philippians 3:13-14: (KJV) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Consider the following: If you continue to do what you are now doing, where will you be in 5, 10, or 20 years? Do not practice habit insanity. Clarify your visions, goals, and dreams. (Not only in your mind, but to others around you.) Focus on the steps you must take to fulfill these visions, goals, and dreams and don’t let a day pass without stepping towards their completion.
Part 4 Focus on results! Matt 12:33 (KJV) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree
corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. LIV Then he used this illustration: "A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if he could find any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. Finally he told his gardener to cut it down. 'I've waited three years and there hasn't been a single fig!' he said. 'Why bother with it any longer? It's taking up space we can use for something else.' "'Give it one more chance,' the gardener answered. 'Leave it another year, and I'll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If we get figs next year, fine; if not, I'll cut it down."
