KEEP YOUR VISION FOCUSED!

Title: Keep your vision focused!
Scripture: "But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"" - Matthew 14:30

 When Peter lost focus of Jesus, and began to look at the strong wind and how powerful the waves were, his faith weakened and he no longer stood above the situation. He was now sinking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very good symbolism of what happens to many Christians. They begin they're Christian life, stable and focused on the target; the centre: Jesus. But, as soon as they notice how impossible the situation is or may be, or how they may not get through it, Satan doesn't wait - not even for a split second. Then, you let yourself into his trap because you lost focus. Focusing on Jesus means everything...and He is the Unchangeable Changer, the one who can fix those issues! It's a test of faith, patience and focus. Very soon, as you remain focused, those trials will start to disappear, and the waves will start to recede, and be still. The focus is Jesus, seek him first and all shall be added unto you. Many wonder, I have faith; but nothing is working.
OR 
Look, do you really think God can help me? I mean, last time it didn't work out! 

No! Satan won't waste a second in overpowering you. 

It is you who gives Satan the power, by the thoughts of you heart and your words. Be careful; and keep your vision focused!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...
