TOPIC: Focus To Succeed On What Truly Matters

Philippians 3:13‬
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

*Message*

In the thirteenth verse of Philippians chapter three, Paul said "...I focus on this one thing..." (NLT). Obviously, in spite of his background and limitations, it is glaring how Paul would eventually rise to be a very prominent minister for all generations. He understood his calling from his first encounter with the LORD, and he committed himself to pursue only what matters to his destiny.

A lot of people don't eventually become successful in what really matters because they failed to live life with wisdom - not because they are not gifted or lacked opportunity. Wisdom, as far as the race of a successful life is concerned, is to know the peculiar definition of success as peculiar to your own destiny. In other words, what is success to person A might not be to person B. Hence, the one that will be truly successful is the one who will focus on what truly matters, which defines success for them.

*It's not a wise thing to always want to prove a point by getting involved in too many things. It is wisdom to streamline your life to pursue only what matters. Don't allow your time to be eaten up with things outside your core competencies, which only makes you invest little energy into developing your strengths. Focus your energy on the things that define success for you in line with your core competencies.*

*Prayers*

Help me dear Lord to give priority to the things that truly matter for my destiny actualization.
