51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Focus is a very important subject that you must work into your life if you will make it in life and destiny.
Meaning :
Focus means concentrating and bringing all your attention to one issue. It means channelling your energy in one direction to achieve a specific goal. There is little that anyone without focus can do. No one can maximize himself if he spreads himself out in many directions.
1. Don’t Think You Can Make Things Happen If You Don’t Keep Focus. The Level Of Your Dreams And Vision, Does Not Count In The School Of Success But The Capacity Of Your Focus. If Focus Is Not Available Nothing Will Be Accessible.
2. Don’t Think You Can Get Anything Done Without Focus. Focus Is The Magnetic Force That Retain Vision And Bring Clarity To Life. Without Focus You Cannot Retain Peace, Attract Secrets And Live Your Real Life.
Lack of focus can lead to time wasting and a waste of life. The devil even wants to scatter your energy and resources so that little or no impact is made, but the power of focus is what makes a life impactful.
How to FOcus .
I want you to take time to seek God’s face for the major things in your life that you need to focus on.
There are three kinds of people that are guaranteed to fail: an unteachable person, an undecided person and an unfocused person. Even if your strength or grace is small, you can maximize it and bring the world to notice you through focus. Get focused on the major issues of your life. Reduce your life to the level of one thing and your life will become powerful. Embrace focus today and you will be astonished at the fruits your life will produce.
PRAYER: I receive the power of focus and come against every form of distractions in life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
No Focus and Wrong focus
Don’t focus on the wrong things; that will be disastrous! There is a major stream of God in your life that if focused on, can affect generations positively. Most people scatter their energy and resources and end up being mediocres. But if you bring focus into everything you do, great strength will flow forth from you. To be a great leader you need focus. No Niagra can drive an engine except it is channelled.
Wrong focus is when you should be committed to these BUT you are worry about that. fight the wrong battle ,getting to business that is not your own, wasting your energy on the direction you are not going.

How to FOUCS
You MUST FIND YOUR CENTER .
Your CEnter is Your VAlue..
What is your centre....,
4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.
1 I will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected.
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.
You cannot focus on your parameters , you have to focus on your Principle.
Principle :
24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
25 The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.
26 The people will curse him who withholds grain,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Focus of Principle.... I will teach God’s principle in the Future .. Incase you are wondering ....
Your Principle should have your Energy. /Then you can adjust your your parameters to get you into focus .
If you Focus on other people parameter you will soon go into blur
All you have to do is DIcPLINE the LEN TO THE PRIORITY .

when u are out of focus you blurred. Is your life blurred and you have been blaming the devil .
when you have the power to bring ..
this what church does to
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their end.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.
The word does to you bring you back to focus .
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Put your energy to where you are going ...

Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
