6 Keys To Protect Your Focus


Listen Later

In this episode, Pastor Allen Bailey shares 6 vital keys that will help to protect your focus.

As leaders, we tend to talk everyone else about what they need to be focused on: what life needs to look like, what the ministry of helps needs to look like, how to serve and do all the things in the work of the ministry.

If the enemy can get you to focus on the wrong thing, he can end everything you are called to do. 

God called you to be a visionary and to cast the vision. Believe for others to come alongside with you to accomplish those things. 

 #1 Recognize that broken focus will destroy your dreams. Anything that has distracted you from your assignment is designed by the enemy to steal your vision. Your laser focus should be on the assignment that God has given you and how to do your part.

 #2 You must take personal responsibility for your focus. No one else can fully protect you except for the Holy Spirit. If you are not focused on your assignment and spending time with God on what you are called to do and the next steps to take, then you put yourself in a position of being uncovered and missing the protective armor in certain places. Ultimately, God wants you to grow in Him, not in the ministry. If you grow in Him, the ministry will grow.

 #3 Control the teaching and the music that enters into your heart. It is vitally important what you allow in your eye and ear gates. Those things will go in your heart and will affect you. God doesn’t want you to be distracted by the trivial. 

 #4 Keep continuous praise and worship on your lips, in your home and going into your ears at all times. What are you listening to in your car or at home? What are you allowing to seep into your heart? What goes into the good soil of your heart will manifest. Be very cautious of what you are allowing in your heart. 

 #5 Starve wrong friendships. You don’t need friendships in your life that don’t feed what God has called you to do. 

 #6 Pursue and permit only those relationships that will increase your focus on your assignment. Focus on the things God has called you to. Too many times we get caught up in the weeds. When we get our focus right, things will begin to work out the right way.
