Through selective concentration, the figures from the Bible discovered the content to do “24” for the rest of their lives. It was the “24” to save one region, one church, and one nation. Similarly, Jethro; Rahab; Hannah; Jesse; Daniel and his three friends; and Esther uncovered “24” to enjoy throughout their lives and saved their churches; regions; and nations. You, too, must do selective concentration.
1. Concentration to Solve Church Problems
On the wilderness path, Moses focused on the Tabernacle movement. Later, David concentrated on the temple movement. Moreover, the members of the Early Church thoroughly did the church movement and received the answer of solving problems and saving others. And following that path of answers, three thousand disciples arose and saved the field. Therefore, for the members of the Early church, tribulation was the way to save Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch.
2. Concentration to Solve the Problems of One Region The believers who gathered at Mark’s upper room received the answer of finding disciples who would save every region, which was the answer of the three thousand disciples. With the Gospel, they saved Samaria that was once diseased, and received the answer of running errands for world missions in Antioch which was a wasteland without the Gospel. Also, through the blessing of Macedonia, closed doors were opened and through the northeaster, Paul received the blessing of confirming the sure covenant to save Rome.
One person with the Gospel received answers to save one nation. It is now the time to start concentrating on saving Israel which lost hold of the Gospel; Samaria which was oppressed by darkness; Macedonia the idol city without the Gospel; and Rome which was captured by Satan and made the world tremble in fear.
Dear God, help me to focus on Your absolute plan with the Gospel and the background of the throne given by You. lead me to establish a springboard to save the age through selective concentration. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
