DISTRACTIONS


TEXT : Luke 10:41&42

 And Jesus answered and said unto her, 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.

One of the greatest weapons the devil employs in attacking believers is distraction. He does this in order to take believer's focus and attention away from the most important thing.

Just like any believer, Mary received Jesus into her home, but instead of giving attention to the most important personality in her home, she became grossly distracted in the bid to serve Jesus Christ.

If you do not take heed and pay attention to yourself, you may sincerely loose yourself in the course of serving Jesus Christ.

While Martha was busy making efforts to serve the table, Mary was busy eating from the very table (Jesus Christ) that Martha was running helter skelter to serve. 

It is important for you to know that Jesus Christ is more interested and places more priority in what He wants to offer you than what you've got to offer Him.

Anything that takes away your attention and focus from Jesus Christ, no matter how legitimate it may appear, such is a distraction. The plan of God is such that all that He's given unto you must not distract you.

What are the things hindering you from focusing your gaze on Jesus Christ fully and completely? 

May you receive grace to  be able to overcome every distractions around you and in your life in Jesus name. 

 Just sitting, listening and gazing at Jesus is worth much more than running errands for Him.

In the midst of several legit distractions and noises in our world today, may you receive help and strength to be able to chose and pay attention to that one thing that is needful in Jesus name.

 Bible reading:

Luke: 10:38-42.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I receive the grace to always fix my gaze on Jesus Christ in all situations and never to yield to distractions.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
