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.

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
