YOUR FOCUS MUST BE ON JESUS

“And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” Matthew 14:29-30 KJV

Peter was able to do the impossible as long as his eyes were fixed on Jesus. But the moment he took his eyes off and started to focus on what was around him, he became afraid and began to sink. Child of God, you can only walk on water with your eyes on Jesus. There will always be circumstances around us that will cause us to fear but as long as our eyes are on Him, we will see the manifestation of grace in all areas of our lives. “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV). We must continually look unto Him because our ability to walk on water will not be by our performance but by His grace. When our focus is on Him, we are acknowledging our total dependence on Him. We are basically saying to Him, “we cannot Lord, but You can.” His grace is always available in our weaknesses.

Beloved, put your eyes on Jesus and He will perfect all that concerns you. You will share your greatest testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness towards you. You will do the impossible because Grace is available to you. It is God’s plan for you to always ride on the wings of grace and achieve incredible results. When you ride on the wing of grace, only the sound of victory shall be heard from your household. The years the locusts and the canker worms have eaten shall all be restored!  You will enjoy speed and acceleration. 

Get ready for incredible things in righteousness because God is set to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. Indeed, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, nor hearts imagined the things that God has prepared for His children. I bless you in Jesus’ name, Amen.
