How To Increase Your Value 6

Pro.25v4: “Take away the dross from silver, and it will go to the silversmith for jewellery.”

I believe you have been finding our discourse on increasing your value interesting and also of a great blessing to your personal and professional life. I shared 2 key elements in increasing your degree of usefulness and today by His grace, I intent to share another important element with you. So, here we go!

Ways of increasing your value:
3. Increasing your focus level. How focused are you? Valuable people are people of focus! The more focused Your Value ou become, the more valuable you become. You need to avoid distraction if you will really become valuable (Lk.9v62). You can’t be valuable if you are a Jack-of-all-trades. Those who are extremely valuable focus. See what I mean by the following checklist:
– Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour was highly focused on his mission here! (Jn.4v34).
– Paul was highly focused on his mission too (Phil.3v13-14).
– Mother Teresa was highly focused on helping the needy and downtrodden.
– Kenneth E. Hagin was highly focused on the message of faith.

So, if you too will become more valuable, you need to work on your focus levels and how can you achieve this? You can achieve this by:
– Focusing on the things you do well and not on the things you don’t do well. Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses (Philem.1v6).
– Focusing on the things that are important to you not on urgent things. Focus on the things that are of priority to you, not on frivolous things (1Cor.6v12).
– Focusing on the things you have been called to do and not on things that are not your primary assignment. You need to remember that you can’t do everything (1Cor.7v20).
– Focusing on being a specialist and not a generalist. Focus on specialization not on general practice (1Ki.7v13-14).

My dear reader, what are you focused on? What things occupies your centre of interest and activities? It’s time to give attention to the things that matter. It’s time to concentrate your energies and resources on the right things. It’s time to increase your focus levels.

Other Scriptural References: (Jer.1v4-6; Jn.6v38; 1Cor.15v58; Heb.12v2)

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, I choose to do the things that will increase my focus levels and not on the things that will break my focus. Holy Spirit, help me to keep my focus right.

CONFESSION: I choose to focus on the right things and not on the wrong things. I am committed to the things that increases my focus. I am sold out to increasing my focus. I refuse to be distracted or led astray. As I strive to keep and increase my focus, my degree of usefulness goes to another level. My eyes are on the Lord and His glory. Therefore, I will never be put to shame in Jesus name, amen.
