Focus and Obey

Focus and Obey!

I see so many believers focusing on world events and the despair in our world. That may well be a focus for the unbeliever but certainly not for a believer! If we read our manual for success (Bible) and obey what it is teaching us, then we will have all our focus on Jesus and the cross! Jesus did everything for us on the cross, and if we don’t understand this, we will be in big trouble!

From the cross, Jesus cried out “IT IS FINISHED.” (John 10:30) We need to spend time truly asking the Holy Spirit what that means. Those three words will set us free. Everything has been done that is going to be done! And now, He has turned it over to us. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12) This is talking about quantity, not quality, because now many of His followers are doing His works!


To have the right focus, we must be doing whatever Jesus is telling us to do which is in His Word. Seven of the greatest words Jesus wants to hear are the ones His mother Mary said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) If we would live our life remembering these words, IT IS FINISHED and WHATEVER HE SAYS TO YOU, DO IT, our total focus would be on eternal matters and not earthly temporary stuff!


The Bible is unfolding before our eyes and the rapture or catching away will soon happen for believers, but until that time, we have a lot to do because God wishes none to perish! … “It is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18:14) Perish does not mean cease to exist. All humans, saved or unsaved, are eternal beings and will live for eternity somewhere. Heaven or Hell—it’s a choice!



With the help of the Holy Spirit, we must keep ourselves focused and obedient, bringing people the Good News of Jesus Christ. One day we will stand before Him to give an account of what we did with the time and resources He gave us. So, let us get our perspective and obedience correct before it is too late!

I am a very shy person. How can I overcome my shyness to talk to people about the Lord? Is there a secret to it?

This is not a natural concept but a spiritual one and is only understood from our manual for success, the Bible! To be hidden in Christ, you must be born again or if you prefer, born from above!

I want us to think about where our focus is. This is very important in these last of the last days! Do we have one foot in the world and the other in the Kingdom of God? If so, we are in BIG trouble because we are not surrendering all we are to Jesus Christ.
