God works and changes the world through those who know the spiritual world. Right now, the situation given to you by God is the most optimal condition to enjoy and testify the Gospel. When you acknowledge these facts, your complaints and resentments will disappear. Then, what must you concentrate on?

1. Concentrate on What God Has Prepared
When you do an important task, there’s no time to think about anything else. In order to be absorbed in what’s most necessary and urgent, you must lay down less important tasks. When God limits other things, you must discover the reason why. Recognizing the circumstances and environment given to you by God to do the most urgent and important tasks from His perspective will become the time to reorganize the priorities in your life. Although Paul tried to go to another place, God wanted him to go to Macedonia. Therefore, you must ask what God has prepared and during every worship, you must discover that within the Word.

2. Concentrate on What God Will Do
You can meet God only through the name of Jesus Christ. There’s no other way to solve the curses and disasters that have come as a result of being separated from God. Furthermore, the way to solve anxieties and emptiness and the method to overcome the forces of darkness that lead you to destruction and failure is none other than Jesus Christ. When this Gospel is imprinted; rooted; and becomes your nature, then the answers of “only,” “uniqueness,” and “re-creation” will follow in your life. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, doors to evangelism will open; the Word will be fulfilled; prepared disciples will arise; and the works that revive the field will begin. You must remember that God has called you to give these answers. You who know the Gospel are the one who remained, and you’ll stand before the kings of this world.

Dear God, with the things that belong to You, imprint me with them in the morning; help me to be rooted with them in the afternoon; and make them my nature at night. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* How Can I Organize What’s Less Important for What’s More Important?

What is the most necessary and urgent?

What can be done later?

What doesn’t have to be accomplished?
