Focus

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth.”
3 John 1:2.

As you begin this New Year, it is important
for you to begin with the right mindset.
This is why you must know that God wants
you to succeed. The word 'prosper' as used in the
scripture above also means to succeed. Say out
loud: God wants me to succeed!

The New Living Translation puts 3 John 1:2 this
way, “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and
that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in
spirit.” This reveals that God is concerned about
every part of your life, therefore the principles you
are going to be learning this month is going to help
you in every area of your life.

What is a principle? A principle is a fundamental
truth. It is a universal law. A principle is a broad and
basic truth, in other words, it is a truth that will
work for anybody.

Number one of these principles if you are going to
have a profitable year is this; 'You must have a
concise vision.' This is the first principle you need to
apply. The man that has no vision has no definite
destination. Hence, as you begin this year, it is
important for you to have a theme for the year. Your
theme for the year is your focus for the year. This is
important because you cannot succeed without
focus, and vision gives you focus.

Today I encourage you to write down your theme or
focus for the year. That is one of the first important
things you need to determine as you begin this year.
As you write down your focus, commit it to the
Lord, set your heart to it, work at it and it shall come
to pass.

Prayer.
Dear Father, teach me to number my days so
that I may apply my heart unto wisdom, in
Jesus' Name. Amen.

Proverbs 24:3-4, Habakkuk 2:1-3,
