GRACE TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON GOD’S WORD

ACTS 13:3-8

And when they had gone through the isle unto l Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophets a Jew whose name was Barjesus: which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Pauly’s, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer….. withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

We must be deliberate about remaining focused on God’s word . In our text above, Paul used God’s power to prevent a sorcerer from distracting a governor from his focus on God’s word. As we see in the parable of the sower the seeds that fell on stony ground and among thorns referred to those who received the word of God quite alright, but after a while lost their focus, thus hindering the world from bearing fruits in their lives ( Matthew 13 20- 22)

It is through faith and patience that we experience the manifestation of the word and promises of God in our lives (Hebrewsl 6 12). We are not transformed by the Spirit from glory to glory into Christ’s image by just peeping or take a little glance at the glory or revelation of Christ. We are only transformed as we behold and remain focused on the glory of Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Both the lame man in Acts 3:2-8 and the man impotent in his feet in Acts 14:8- 10 focused on God’s word to them, following which they received their miracles.
It is as we continue to look into God’s word that we will be able to act in line with it and experience God’s blessings in our lives ( James 1:25). Be deliberate about not allowing religion or some other activities distract you from remaining focused on God’s word (Luke 10: 41-42).

Action Point:
Pray for yourself and other believers and ask that the Lord help us remain focused and not distracted from His word.
