Delegate your distraction

“And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.”
Acts 6:1-4

Co-opting the skills of those who will compensate for your weaknesses is one of the tips to achieving business or ministry success.

One of the things I learnt many years ago on business was 'to staff your weakness'. This is because there are certain things you cannot do by yourself because you have to focus on certain priorities.

To a great extent wisdom is the ability to determine your priorities, and success on the other hand is the reward for sticking to your priorities.

Successful people are people who stick to their priorities.

A minister was preaching one time and said, “I don't know where the oil of my car is.” He was speaking about certain things that he does not concern himself about to give him more time to focus on the major priorities of the vision he has from God. As a result he pastors one of the biggest churches in the world.

Delegate your distraction just like the Apostles did in our opening scripture. Anything taking you away from your priority is a distraction, delegate it.  
Instruction.
Read 1 Chronicles 12:22 and ask the Lord to bring you the right people that will help you fulfill God's vision for your life.

For further study, read:
1 Corinthians 9:16, 1 Timothy 4:13-16,
 2 Timothy 4:2
