Destiny From The Perspective of Focus... Andrew Tate III, Pastor
When it comes to being great in business, relationships,
finances, etc., it’s never a problem with getting started, but
the problem, at times, resides in the tendency of getting
out of focus. In the process of dealing with everyday life,
there are times we will allow unnecessary distractions to
invade our space. In some way or another, we’ve made
ourselves believe it requires our immediate attention.
It’s in those times we spread ourselves so thin; we really
neglect our true purpose.
One thing that causes us not to be as focused as we
ought to be is other people. I like to call this the Super
Hero complex. We’re so busy trying to be everything for
everyone else that we lose our focus on the important
tasks at hand.
If we’re not careful our opinions about what we should
be doing and where we are in life can be so influenced
by other people, we can lose the ability to ever be
satisfied or accomplish anything. You can also be taunted
by comparing yourself to other people’s success. It’s
then you can become intimidated by trying to achieve
something that’s contrary to your vision, and what wasn’t
designed for you.
God will only promote you to the level of your tolerance
of pain. He will not promote you into an area where you
are not designed to withstand the weight of pressure of
the assignment. Know your lane and be great at it, and don’t
settle to be a copycat when you’re a created great original.
Some may be doing what you’re doing, but there’s a select
group of people who you’re assigned to be a blessing to.
One of our biggest problems in society today is we never
stick to anything long enough to master anything. At the
first sign of resistance, we’re ready to throw in the towel.
You see, greatness isn’t achieved after you’ve accomplished
a goal. It’s accomplished in practice preparing for the game.
Game time is when the greatness is exhibited for the rest of
the world to see.
God never gives us a finished product. He’s creative and
He’s downloaded creativity in us, so He expects us to create
something out of the raw material He’s placed before us.
God gives us the power to get wealth, so maximize that
precious gift. Get a sustained focus to create the best life
possible for you, and those who come in contact with you.
Remember this; potential not maximized is a wasted gift,
so get focused, and watch you produce results you never
thought imaginable.
Much Love,
