Today's Distractions Affect Tomorrow's Height

By Deaconess Kemi Epidi

Tomorrow’s heights are often missed because of today’s distractions. You start out strong and mighty. Your mind is made up that you are going to wait on God until your change comes.

But then you realize time is moving on and it seems like nothing still is happening. Or better yet, things are happening, you are happy, ecstatic, you have “arrived” but lose focus, become distracted by your accomplishments.

Don’t be fooled, a distraction does not always have to be a problem or a situation that seems to be getting worse. Some-times it can be a situation that seems all so right.

“I know he’s not saved but I believe he really loves me”,  “I know this job is going to keep me from church but I’ll now be able to pay all of my bills”  In Matthew 14, we find Peter became distracted with what was going on around him instead of continuously focusing on Jesus, so he began to sink.

In Luke 10, while Mary, not conforming to what society expected of her sat at Jesus’s feet focused on Him, Martha was distracted by her many task.

Have you shifted your focus away from the heights God has called you to because of your many tasks? Have you shifted your focus because God is telling you to wait for the appointed time those heights will be manifested?

We can’t afford to get distracted. God has so much in store for you. So don’t let distractions cause you to miss out on the heights God has just for you, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
