⏩ COVENANT OF INFALLIBLE PROOFS ⏪ DAY 25 "I'M CARRYING ON A GREAT PROJECT. I CANNOT GO DOWN"

SCRIPTURE

In Nehemiah 6:3, Nehemiah replies to those who wanted to distract him saying,

"And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I [am] doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?"

This declaration is from a man of God named Nehemiah who was so focused that he did not allow anyone to distract him from his great project. With that clear and unchanging purpose of heart and mind, with that great resolve, the walls of Jerusalem rose until they were rebuilt in an astonishing 52 days as it is written in Nehemiah 6:15,

"So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.."

We cannot and we must not allow ourselves to get distracted from our sacred duty. We cannot and we must not lose focus on the things that matter most.

FOCUS ENABLES TO FINISH

Which means in other words that focus is a spiritual power that helps to not give up in faith, to not let discouragement take place. Focus is a power which allows nothing to be left unfinished, partial or incomplete.

Throughout Scriptures, God is revealed as THE BEGINNER and ALSO THE FINISHER of things. Whatever he starts he also finishes. Whatever he starts he also brings it unto completion. He never leaves anything unfinished because He is a Focused God.      

Philippians 1:6 I’m convinced that GOD, WHO BEGAN this good work in you, will CARRY IT THROUGH TO COMPLETION on the day of Christ Jesus. 

Hebrews 12:2 GWV WE MUST FOCUS ON JESUS, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God.

FOCUS ENABLES TO CONCENTRATE ON ONE THING

Martha and Mary received both Jesus but one was unfocused while the other was focused.

Martha was so distracted about many things. She was always complaining, unsettled, unhappy and unfulfilled. In another hand, her sister Mary was focused on Jesus and seated at Jesus' feet to hear the Word. Jesus was so displeased that he rebuked Martha for her lack of focus while he praised Mary for her focus saying,

"Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." (Luke 10:41)

QUESTIONS TO PONDER 

1) Are you a focused man/woman?

2) Do you have a project or projects ? If yes, what are they  ?

3) What is distracting you or what makes  you lose focus  on the pursuit of your God-given steam ?

4) Are you focused on the things that matter most?

5) Where do your thoughts go when the pressure of deadlines is gone? Are your thoughts and heart focused on those short-lived fleeting things that matter only in the moment or on things that matter most?

6) What are the things that distract you from your duties or hinder you from magnifying your calling more diligently?
