Focus on a Thing at a Time

Have you heard of the saying that women multitask much more than men do? In other words, women can do a lot of things simultaneously. But the truth is that although women may do things at the same time, they cannot focus on them as simultaneously as we think because they switch from one thing to another within seconds it appears as though they focus on many things simultaneously because that’s how their brains are wired. They break things down in seconds more than men could, and it appears they are doing things simultaneously. Women are awesome, right?

But why did I elaborate on how women multitask so easily? My reason is that God created us in a way that we cannot focus on more than one thing at a time. And this is seen even in our spirit man.

The moment you gave your life to Christ Jesus, you received a brand new life of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, this new life needs to be focused on. In other words, this new life has to be fed. True, your nature is the exact nature of Christ Jesus. But you live in this body that Apostle Paul calls earthly tent (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:1) that is being perfected through the renewal of our minds. Thus, Galatians 5:17 says the spirit (our new nature) and the flesh (our unrenewed self) oppose each other.

Apostle Paul spoke earlier in Galatians 5:16 that when we walk in the Spirit, then we won’t fulfil the desires of the flesh and its sinful craves. This can only happen when your focus is on the Spirit, and to grow your Spirit, you have to fix your eyes on Jesus. The Amplified Bible puts Hebrews 12: 2a thus, “[2]  Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection].” Jesus is our perfection, and the only way to live, amplify, and manifest the nature of Christ in us is to fix our eyes on our perfection, who is our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we keep meditating on the word of God day and night, knowing who Jesus is, the Holy Spirit in us brings the logos (the written word) to life (rhema), allowing us to activate the Christ Jesus life within us through His leading and direction.

Anyone who gives his or her life to Christ Jesus still has the cravings of the flesh as though nothing happened, but something has changed from within, and that is the new Spirit. The old life has died and Christ Jesus is the new life. But the new life must be fed to activate and manifest the Christ Jesus’ life within by fixing our eyes on Him. This is done through meditation on the word of God, praises, prayer (not unnecessary prayer, but that of spending time to know Him), speaking in tongues, and then the Holy Spirit who is the catalyst, interprets to us the revelation received for our Spiritual growth. And we see our focus on the Spirit increase, and that of the flesh decreases.

I tell you, the life of Christ Jesus is awesome. Mysteries coming to life, finally being understood. Praise Jesus!

 

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations—you’re born again, and you are now brand new!
