And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
Philippians 1:6 NLT
When you first start out on the journey of reaching for God’s plan for your life, there can be a great level of joy and excitement in the beginning. Things are going good for you. Things are working according to your expectations. It appears you are experiencing the favor of the Lord.
But suddenly, those unexplainable moments came in full glare with great resistance, attack, and distractions from the enemy while trying to accomplish what God is telling you to do. Will you now allow that ugly distractions to stop you from being relevant and fulfil God's plan? No! You are to stay committed through the ups and downs. This is the key to reaching your destiny.
Nehemiah had a strong passion and desire to rebuild the wall around the city of God that had been broken down, burned and rendered ineffective in protecting the city. He felt in his heart that this was what God was calling him to do.
As soon as he assembled his team and started the work, it drew great attention and opposition from the enemy who quickly schemed to make Nehemiah’s job very difficult. Through it all, Nehemiah remained focused and committed to finishing that which he had started.
When you start walking out the plan that God has for your life, it will be very important for you to stay focused on Him and the plan that He has for you. It will be a noble cause and worthy of your undivided attention.
Be on guard against anything that wish will distract you or slow the process of completing the work that God has you doing.
The will power is in you. Continue without allowing any form of distractions. Oppositions would surely come, be smart enough to recognize their weakness and walk past it to achieve your God given mandate.
The physique and size of Goliath distracted Saul and the generals who were on the warfront with him. He wasn't seeing the Big God who could make things happen with little weapons in their arsenal.
David wasn't distracted by his size or strength. He believed in the Lord His God. Put your trust and confidence in God, beloved. Do whatever He ask you to do. Follow His ways and instructions intently and great shall be your blessings.
Allow nothing to distract you. No discouragement. Learn to always encourage yourself in the Lord.
God bless you. Good morning to you!
A blessed day...
