MY FRIENDS, ON YOUR JOURNEY, REFOCUS, HEAD FORWARD, STOP; HEAD BACK, STOP!!
Christ Is a Jealous God, He wants our unrestricted attention on Him, if you seek life eternal. I just can’t serve you today, my time is limited, is just not acceptable.
A child of God must believe not only that God exists and that we are created in His image. In addition, we are to give Him all the glory and honor. Our all must be all about Him and “His will be done” “….for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Heb. 11:6 (KJV)
“Saving faith is not merely some firmly held persuasion, but an unwavering confidence in what God’s word specifically states, whether promise or warnings, a blessing for this life or for the life to come, in Gods pure and holy kingdom”. (Ben J. Elston)
But it is all about surrendering to God because we are absolute sound in our belief on every promise in God’s word not just the ones that promise us a happy life through Him “Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.” Ps. 37:4 (KJV)
But also the not so good results, if we make the wrong choices “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof 
are the ways of death.” Proverbs 16: 25 (KJV)
When we are totally dependent on God, He continually allows what seems humanly impossible to become totally possible through our faith. But my friends we must REFOCUS our PASSIONS as we keep moving to the Promise land. Because “when you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the journey.”
We need to keep both eyes on the journey, that unlike any other experience in our lives, our Salvation is truly about the journey because even though the destination never changes, the terrain does, starting with death, unemployment, finances, relationships, family, and the list goes on throughout our life.
That is why it has to be a Passion from within that is placed there by God’s Spirit to finish. If you ever watch a pigeon walk you will see it can’t really see where it’s going when it is walking, so it adjusts it’s focus as it moves.
It actually has to bring its head to a complete stop between steps in order to REFOCUS, HEAD FORWARD, STOP; HEAD BACK, STOP! In our spiritual journey with the Lord we have the same problem as the pigeon. We have a hard time seeing while we’re moving.
We also need to stop between steps to REFOCUS on where we are in relation to the things of this world and Gods will for us. Our walk with the Lord needs to have built into it a pattern of stops that requires a passion to continue, a passion for where this journey is taking us and a passion for the one who gave it all in-order for us to finish.
And each REFOCUS, HEAD FORWARD, STOP; HEAD BACK, STOP enables us to see more clearly God’s will for us before moving on, because my friends at every REFOCUS, HEAD FORWARD, STOP; HEAD BACK, STOP, the god of this world is telling us he has a short cut that eliminates all of the rough terrain.
“If you will only bow down and worship me.” But in the end his way will only lead to a journey of resentment, defeat and in the 
end destruction. but my friends stay focus as you “Enter through the narrow gate [on your journey]; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)
So continue to “keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) In addition, if our Goal is the kingdom of God, then we must REFOCUS, HEAD FORWARD, STOP; HEAD BACK, STOP AS OUR FOCUS REMAINS ON CHRIST AS WE ALLOW SELF TO DIE EACH DAY.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
