Focus on What Matters
The journey of building dreams or fulfilling destiny is not a smooth path or process. There are many obstacles along the way, even stumbling blocks that can distract you from achieving your goals. But I'm here today to deliver this news: don't get distracted by obstacles and negative thoughts. Keep your eyes on the outcome and the joy that's ahead.
Focusing on the negative is a major tool the enemy uses to kill the business or relationship you're building. It might not be easy, but you must soldier on. Somebody is waiting for the harvest of joys that are ahead of you.
The pains you're experiencing, beloved, cannot be compared to what's ahead of you. Jesus once came to a point where He felt like changing His mind due to the pain He felt. Seeing what He was going to experience in the name of bringing salvation to mankind, the Bible says:
"We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Now he holds the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne." - Hebrews 12:2 (GW)
From this passage, you can clearly see that the journey to the cross wasn't easy, but Jesus had to endure pain, suffering, and death for our sake. Why? Because "He saw the joy ahead of him."
I speak as a prophet of God that your eyes may be opened so that you can see. After the season of endurance, the Bible says, "He holds the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne." Patience pays, my beloved brethren in Christ.
Don't give up, even when the journey gets tough. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and your patience will be rewarded. If you patiently wait and live to fulfill your destiny, there is a moment of glorification ahead. You will be filled with unspeakable joys.
When you're feeling weak and overwhelmed, God will send you strength and encouragement to keep going. May the Lord send you forth a strengthening angel to strengthen you in your journey to fulfill your destiny in Jesus' name.
Stay focused, endure the challenges, and trust that God has a plan to prosper you. May we be strengthened and encouraged to fulfill our destinies.
