The storms of life that we encounter in our lives from time-to-time are design to get us off focus and out of the will of God for our lives. It’s important to stay focus and be committed to the mission God has given each of us to fulfill in this earth. The enemy will use anything or anyone to get you off focus and throw all kinds of distractions at you to keep you from moving forth. It’s a hindering force to stop you, but you must press on and through it all. Stay focus on the mission. He has a purpose for the mission. No matter how big the storm or how low the valley stay focused on the mission. Your mind is all over the place when you lose focus of the mission. In addition, you have no strength to keep pushing it. Your desire to press on begins to fade away. You lose interest and your faith begins to fail. Let your strength continue to be strong so you won’t fall in the day of adversity. When you lose focus your mind begins to wander in all directions. You lose sight of the mission.  You lose sight of the vision because now you’re thinking about all the cares of the world and the issues of life surrounding you. It is design to choke the Word of God out of you where your strength becomes small.  Be determine to stay focused at all cause. Pray without ceasing and stay in the presence of the Lord. And read the Word of God every day to avoid distractions. And there may be times you never know the directions the storms are coming from which is why it’s so important to put on the “Whole Armour of God” so you’ll be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Because we’re not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers, the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.  You have to put on the “Whole Armour of God so you’ll be able to stand in the evil day. And as you’re standing on the Word of God, make sure your lions are girted about with the truth of God’s Holy Word and the breastplate of righteousness so your feet will continue to be sharp with the preparation of the gospel of peace. And through it all take on the shield of faith so you’ll be able to quench every fiery darts that is thrown at you. Because it’s the enemy that wants you to lose focus of the mission. Continue to watch and pray in the spirit with all supplications. And pray for others saints that may be going through too. However, when that enemy comes at you like a flood, you put on the helmet of salvation and cover yourself with the Spirit of God’s Holy Word so you can remain steadfast and unmovable always abounding in the good works of the Lord.  Stay focus on the mission (Eph. 6:11-18, 1 Cor. 15:58). Jesus stayed focused on the mission. He came to seek and save that which was lost. (Luke 16:10).  He lived every day to fulfill His mission. He didn’t let anyone or anything distract Him from doing the Will of the Father. In spite of what others thought of Him He was determined to fulfill the Will of God for His life. And He fulfilled the mission that was set before him. He said Father, I have finished the work you have given me to do (John 17:4). Just like Jesus did, you and I have to continue to remain focus on the mission so we can reach our destiny in fulfilling God’s Divine Will for our lives. We cannot allow the cares of the world to come and choke the Word of God out of us. Worrying about things that’s beyond your control is a distraction. We cannot allow the opinions of other people to distract us from moving forward. Seek God in prayer and stay focus.  We all have a mission in expanding the Kingdom of God, and in order to stay focus in fulfilling that mission, we have to run with endurance the race that is set before us. And look only unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Stay focus on the mission and run the race that has been set before you.
