When God is The Focus

When you focus on the immediate, you will miss the ultimate. Where you are headed for in life by God's direction, is greater than what your thought can fathom,  1Cor. 2:9. Life is in phases, men are in sizes. The Scriptures says that we should not despise the days of our humble beginnings. Everything that is big today started small sometime ago. An orange, for an example, while yet to mature is 'bitter'. When it matures, it is sour. When it has riped, it is sweet. The same goes to life of a man. In the journey to success in destiny, falling is allowed but staying down is unacceptable!

Proverbs 24:16, says: "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief."

The journey to success is like harvesting a rose with thorns, it has challenges. The ability to see beyond the immediate circumstances and occurrences brings one closer to the desired success. Let's look at what the Scriptures say;

Job 8:7, says : "Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase."

Zechariah 4:10, says : "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."

The days of your beginning is as important as the day of your breakthrough. Many people hate starting small. They want it all made immediately - making most take to crimes and evils. This is against the law of life or nature. Nobody else, was born adult apart from Adam and Eve. Being made adults without any childhood, the duo fell due to inability to grow in communication and character. This was one of the reasons why even our Lord Jesus came and was born as a human baby. He learnt carpentery, studied about Himself in the book of Isaiah and needed John The Baptist to baptise Him. He also fasted and prayed before He was deemed fit and got endorsed by the Holy Spirit with power to manifest and start His ministry. The same is applicable to human success. If you don't learn from little you will be caught up in future and of course, won't be faithful in big breakthroughs. 

Luke  16:10 says : "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."

Don't focus on the immediate, focus on what the future holds in store for you. Today is what begets tomorrow and not where your tomorrow ends. When God is involved in your journey you can't be stranded or wasted. 

Hebrews  12:2 says: "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Jesus knew the glory that awaits Him when He overcomes, and endured the cross bearing our sins. This is the key to His success - He knew His time of affliction and glory, John 17:1. A man becomes successful when he in turn, knows his own time of affliction and manifestation, Romans 8:19. Every man must identify God's vision for his life and pursue it. This is only revealed by the Spirit of God and not by man's intellectual or sensual wisdom. 

Know this, your yesterday and today won't be better than your tomorrow when God still leads you. You are blessed!
