Focus for 2014

In the beginning of this year Mike Genocky brought a relevant message for this year on what he believed was on God's heart, we agree with what was shared and have given much time ,thought, prayer and meditation on that word.

The message was intended to give us direction for this year and hear what Father is saying to us now.

 I will summarize what was shared, and we will study each point to gain more revelation of what God is saying, and allow the Holy Spirit to enable us to understand this word and make it our own, all this in Christ who has enabled us to hear from our Father and receive fresh power and direction by His Spirit.

 Read Psalms 104, reminder of how great our God is.

 For us to grow spiritually and to mature into the fullness of the nature of Christ, we must expect! that everything God has promised is for us, who believe and love His ways and to have Faith to live for them Now.

 1. Do not neglect to continue what you started,
28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? 29 For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30 saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' Luke 14:28-30 (NIV),
we are intended to finish what God has started in us, we are not just saved and now exist in this hope of salvation, that is only part of His will, but we are to run the race in such a way as to complete it and receive the crown of glory.

 2. Avoid the trap of comparison,
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the field God has assigned to us, a field that reaches even to you. 2 Cor 10:12-13 (NIV),
Don't allow others to compare you, and don't compare yourself to anyone else, our focus and measure is in Christ.

 3. Focus, our focus is always to be on Christ, He is our benchmark,
 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Heb 12:2-3 (NIV),
our goal is personal Christ likeness, give yourself to what will feed that,
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 (NIV),
build up habits that align your life with His.

 4. Renew your thoughts daily,
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2 (NIV),
one bad thought can lead to a bad attitude and fill you with darkness.

 Be Blessed meditate on these thoughts and I will be sharing in more detail, each point to help us all attain to the perfect measure of Christ for which He laid hold of us.
