Seeds of Destiny 21 May 2018 Devotional by Dr Paul Enenche
TOPIC: The Force of Focus Versus the Enemy’s Strategy for Distraction
SCRIPTURE: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:22-23
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Focus determines the future; maintaining focus on God makes you a focus on earth.
It is important to know that life is full of distractions. Distraction is one of the greatest strategies of the devil to derail people from the path of destiny fulfilment.
MESSAGE:Â When Jesus went to the mountain to fast for forty days and forty nights, satan came to distract Him in order to make Him lose focus of what He was there for (Matthew 4:1-4). Many people have lost a glorious destiny because they have succumbed to the distractions of the devil.

Now, what is the secret of avoiding distraction in life? It is the maintenance of clear focus. Focus determines the future; maintaining focus on God makes you a focus on earth.
One major form of distraction the devil uses to derail people’s focus is criticism. When you try to go forward in life, satan tries to distract you by sending critics to criticise you. Critics come to question you: where do you think you are going? Who do you think you are? And if you are not careful, you begin to respond critics to the point of getting distracted, losing your focus, and eventually, your destiny. Giving ear to your critics is losing your destiny.
Beloved, I counsel you to maintain singleness of focus; face your front and refuse to be distracted.
Remember this: Focus determines the future; maintaining focus on God makes you a focus on earth.

AMAZING FACT: The sun is actually white when seen from space because its light is not scattered by our atmosphere. From venus, you wouldn’t see the sun at all because the atmosphere is too thick.
