DISTRACTIONS

TEXT: Luke 10:41-42

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

A saying has it that "a distracted mind lives everywhere except where life is actually happening.”

In this year, you must resist every form of distractions that may come your way. It is a killer of destiny.

To take away your focus and attention from the very one thing that matters the most to other things that are merely calling your attention is distraction. 

It is not everything that requires your attention that you must give yourself to. It's not everyone that is calling for your attention  that you must attend to.
It's not every task that you are called to do that you must undertake.
It's not every place that you are called to that you must go.

 *It's not every business that concerns you, only that which is your concern is what you must pay attention to.* 

Distraction is one thing that you must deliberately resist in this new year. It does more harm to our lives than we could imagine. It kills potential and makes one loose his vision and direction. 

In our study text, Jesus told Martha that only thing is needed and that Mary has chosen that.

 *Only one thing is needed this year. Find out that one thing; pursue it, give it the whole of your time and energy.* 

 *Distraction may be a noble course, it may be a legitimate course, it may even appear godly but it's a destiny killer in disguise.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father LORD, I receive grace to find out that one thing that is needed, and to pursue it wholeheartedly in Jesus name.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

    1 Kings 13:11-21.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
