Lift Up Now Your Eyes, And Look From The Place Where You Are

Gen 13:14-15 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, "Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." The only place to start is where you are. Start where you are with what you have and God will add the increase. Did you know that the only reason people fail is broken focus. Focus empowers you. Anyone or anything that keeps your attention, controls your thoughts, controls you. Prov 4:25-27 "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eye lids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil." Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Stop living in the Past. God has a bright future for you. Adam and Eve broke their focus, and so did King David with Bathsheba. Delilah broke the focus of Samson. You have to fight to maintain your focus. Jesus temptation in the wilderness, before He started His ministry, was to break His focus. The battle of the will at Gethsemane was to brake His focus. How about when Peter walked on water. Heb 12:1-3 in the Amplified says, "Looking away from all that will distract unto Jesus." Determine what you want to build your life around. How can you protect your focus? Decide what you want to think, talk about and read about, and learn about. Choose your friends wisely. Choose your home church wisely, for they are connected with the fulfillment of God's destiny for your life. Learn to keep things in perspective. Daily adjustments are vital, if we are going to enjoy and fulfill God's best for our lives. He's not done with us yet. Phil 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of  Jesus Christ."

How about Relationships?

Are you aware that every relationship in your life is either taking you towards your dreams or away from them? They are either making deposits or withdrawals. You need to learn to qualify people for your presence, or for your inner circle, for not everyone qualifies. Some of the qualifiers are respect and honor. I say, qualify the soil around you before you plant the seed of your life in it. I believe this is the #1 way to guard your heart, for you will find that your life will always evolve around relationships. How about your daily and weekly schedule? Learn to prioritize what are the 3 most important things in your life. #1-God-daily prayer, bible reading, study/meditation, Church attendance, ministry activities and functions. #2-Family- daily communion(keeping the life line open), breakfast time, dinner time, morning or evening chats, going to church or functions together, fun time, vacation, going out with your mate on a date. #3-Work-How long does it take to get there, how many hours does my job require, is my job connected to my destiny or is it just supplying my needs. Doing these things, will give you clear picture of what your life is all about. You won't be wasting precious time on things that do not really matter, but will be making the most of your time and life. This will also help you make the proper adjustments in order for you to bring your life out of chaos and into divine order.
