Stay Focused!! (Part 1)

Sharon Couchman

Are you having difficulty focusing? Troubles got you scattered mentally? Concerned about your loved ones? Are you at your wit’s end and don’t know what to do? Turn to Jesus for your answers. Your solutions are found in the Word of God and His Kingdom principles!

Do you have some people around you stirring up trouble and causing problems? If so, it’s easy to blame others for your frustrations, conflicts in the work place, lack of finances, unruly children, etc. Instead, determine to turn your attention away from yourself (or others) and instead start focusing on the greatness of your God. He will give you insight into the real issues that are taking place. The Lord will also pinpoint those areas within you that He desires to heal and restore as well.

It is through the grace and righteousness of Christ within us that we gain the victory! What Christ accomplished at Calvary and through the Resurrection is more than capable of resolving every issue in life. Christ has placed His righteousness and His Kingdom within you!

Romans 5:17 KJV – For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

It is good to be reminded that when life gets harried and stressful, we can always turn our focus to God’s Kingdom, His Word and His teachings. His Kingdom does not consist of food and drink or what we wear, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!! How is this attained? By submitting to the Spirit of God within you. God desires that you be more conscious of Christ’s righteousness in you! He says that you are the righteousness of God in Christ!

II Corinthians 5:21 – For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;

that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Most Christians know that God’s Spirit lives in them! But, do you realize that His Kingdom is also inside of you? Your body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, contains the Kingdom of God! What a statement!

Luke 17:21 – “…behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

A victorious spiritual life indicates that you are incorporating God’s Kingdom principles into your life. His Word works! And what are those principles and characteristics of God’s Kingdom? – Righteousness, peace and joy!

Romans 14:17 KJV – For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The God who is all of these things is in you! Begin to focus and increase your awareness of God’s Kingdom within you. His Kingdom has a provision for every need you have now and in your future.

  1. Thank you so much, Pastor Jim, for taking the time to print this. Sometimes I get so harried with family responsibilities and doing what I think God wants me to do that I forget to sit down, take a breath and have extra time with Him during the day. God forgive me for taking You for granted. God bless you, your family and your ministry today and every day, Pastor Jim. Love, Yvonne
