Stay Focused! Your Season of Opportunity is Coming!

Pastor Gavin Taylor

The only way to stay focused is to look away from everything that will distract you, and to fix your eyes on a target. That target is our Lord Jesus Christ. We focus on the fact that He completed His race, by staying focused, and now He has been exalted to the highest position ever created. He is now seated at the right hand of God, as the undisputed King of kings and Lord of lords. His victory shows us that, if we’re willing to go through what we have to go through, we will receive the promise of God. Jesus went through all of the cruel treatment, all of the abuse and torment. Then He went through the cross. Notice, I didn’t say that He went “to the cross”, I said that He went “through the cross”. After He went through the death of the cross, He was raised in great triumph and now He has made it to His destination. If we go through the valley of the shadow of death, we will make it to our promised land. The promised land is the focus, the valley of the shadow of death is the distraciton. You see, the enemy wants to distract you with the trials of life. He wants you to look away from your goal, and focus on everything that is happening around you. He knows that if he can steal your focus, he can stop you from reaching your destination. That’s why you need to stay focused. If you stay focused on the promised land, you will make it through the valley. If you make it through the valley, you’ll make it to the Promised Land.
