Focus your faith


Luke 11:34

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

We understand that faith is a spiritual currency with which we transact in the realm of the spirit. Hence, to be poor in faith is to lack sufficient transactional power with which to make dealings beyond the physical. Every believer has a measure of faith, but some have developed theirs while others haven’t really done much. The implication for those who haven’t done much with their faith is that they seem to have limited results compared to those who have put in effort to develop their faith. One of the reasons why those who haven’t developed their faith so much get limited results is because many times they tend to spread their limited faith energy in different directions, hence, the intensity of their faith becomes weaker in the various area it has been applied, which in turn may lead to little or no results.

The solution to this is in learning how to focus your faith energy in a certain direction per time and getting your faith to produce the result you desire. When your faith is scattered on different fronts particularly with a limited faith capacity as we said earlier, then your faith becomes ineffectual. In such a situation, it becomes very important to focus your faith energy to achieve a set goal before moving on to achieve another. While it may be possible for those who have developed a robust faith to take on several issues at once and achieve great results in all, an attempt to lump everything up and spread your faith across all grounds with limited faith capacity may mean losing out completely on all grounds.But as you learn to deal with one issue at a time, and focus your faith, you will get results that will stir up your faith for greater things. As this happens, your capacity for faith will grow gradually to the point where you can take on several issues at once with your faith and conquer on all grounds.

Take for instance that you are desirous of healing in your body, you will have to focus your faith on dealing with that health challenge. That could mean studying and meditating on the subject of healing, reading healing scriptures to yourself, reading literature that teach on healing or listening to healing messages, and possibly attending healing meetings. All of these are geared towards strengthening your faith to receive your healing. But when you are believing God for healing and you are spending most of your time studying on how to find the right partner, and attending marriage seminars, then your faith tends to loose focus and you greatly reduce the capacity of your faith to receive your healing. Don't be mistaken, it isn't out of place to give attention to other things, but it is paramount to give the most attention to the issue that must be dealt with. The same theory applies to your finances, career, family and other areas of need.

There are too many believers who find it really hard to focus and this is the reason why they remain stagnant for so long. Some prefer to jump all around, and make some noise, while others mistakenly assume that being in association with other people who are producing results will improve their lot in life, but they themselves will not put their hands on the plough. Such assumptions are very dangerous, and will eventually lead to frustration. It is time for you to begin to put your own faith to work by giving it more focus, and if you have being putting yours to work, it is time to improve your results by focusing even more.

You should note carefully that when you put your faith on the line for something, and you get that assurance of faith that you have received, then you can move on to other things with your faith even though you haven't yet seen the physical manifestation of what you believed you received. Your faith has already conquered and you know it is only a matter of time before the physical manifestation.


The ability to focus your faith, beginning with little things will help you to greatly develop you faith capacity and in no time you will be able to spread your faith across several grounds and take possession of them all. But it all begins by getting your faith to work with good focus.

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...
