YOU WILL ONLY SUCCEED WHEN YOUR ASSIGNMENT BECOMES AN OBSESSION

YOU WILL ONLY SUCCEED WHEN YOUR ASSIGNMENT BECOMES AN OBSESSION


 Focus Is Magnetic. When you focus your attention and time to achieving your Assignment, you will experience Favor. 

Jesus Rebuked Those Who Broke His Focus. But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! You are not thinking about God's concerns but human concerns."(Mark 8: 33).

The Apostle Paul Was Obsessed With His Assignment. 

It explains his remarkable victories over enemies, adversaries and even friends who misunderstood him. He explained his focus to the Philippians, 

13 Brothers and sisters, I know that I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach the goal before me. 14 I keep running hard toward the finish line to get the prize that is mine because God has called me through Christ Jesus to life up there in heaven. Philippians 3:13-14

 He moved away from past hurts, failures and memories. 
Obviously, he had a photograph of those things God had placed before him.


6 Keys For Developing An Obsession For Your Assignment


  1. Identify Any Distraction To Your Assignment.     (Hebrews 12: 1).  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
2.   Do not fall in love with programs and imitation
      (2 Timothy 2: 4).  No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.

3. Become An Expert On Your Assignment. (2 Timothy 2: 15).  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.



4. Avoid Any Conversation With Those Who Disrespect Your Assignment.
    (2 Timothy 2: 16, 23).
16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
24 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.


5. Prepare For Uncommon Adversity. Satan dreads the completion of your Assignment. Each      act of obedience can destroy a thousand satanic plans and desires.

6. Disconnect From Any Relationship That Does Not Celebrate Your Obsession.
    (2 Thessalonians 3: 14). Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed.
