Just Do You in 2025: Overcoming Distractions and Focusing on Your Purpose



 Just Do You in 2025: Overcoming Distractions and Focusing on Your Purpose


In these last days, the enemy is working overtime to distract us from our God-given purpose. Distractions come in many forms, often disguised as harmless activities that consume our time without offering any real reward or compensation. It's crucial to recognize these distractions and take steps to eliminate them from our lives.

 The Danger of Distractions

Daniel 7:25 (NIV)- "He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time."

  a. Satan’s Strategy: The enemy seeks to wear out the saints, distracting them from their divine purpose.  

2 Timothy 3:1-2 (NIV)  "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy."

  a. *End Times Distractions: The last days are marked by self-centeredness and materialism, pulling people away from their spiritual focus.

 The Cost of Distractions

Anything that consumes a significant portion of your time without offering substantial benefits can be a distraction. For instance, spending excessive time in front of the TV, passively consuming news, might not be beneficial. Ask yourself: Is this helping me pay my bills? Is it putting bread on my table? Or am I just contributing to the wealth of media personalities like Anderson Cooper, whose salary at CNN is around $20 million?

The term "media" originates from "medium," which has roots in the occult. The media's primary goal is to influence and shape public opinion. Today, news outlets often claim to make the news rather than just report it. Their focus is on attracting eyes and ears to boost ratings, which translates to money for the media companies and their stockholders.

 The Need for Focus

These are days when we must be focused. Here are areas to concentrate on:

God-Given Assignment: Stay committed to the purpose God has placed in your heart.

Family: Invest time and energy in nurturing your family relationships.

Wealth Creation: Focus on building financial stability and creating wealth.

Personal Development: Continuously work on your growth and development.

Business: Dedicate time to growing and improving your business.

Friendship Creation: Build meaningful relationships with your neighbors and friends. Engage in activities like playing board games to de-stress from the negative noise around you.

 Making Changes in 2025

In 2025, it's time to make some lifestyle changes. Politicians and lobbyists often operate with their own interests in mind, engineering society for their benefit. My advice to you is to focus on self-care and mind cleaning from these distractions. Reduce your intake of political and news distractions. Instead, listen to sermons and teachings that build you up in the most holy faith and motivate you.

Remember, you are much more than what others say you are. You are created in the image and likeness of God, designed to dominate your sphere of influence and leave a lasting legacy on earth. In 2025, it may seem selfish, but it's essential to remove yourself from distracting noises and "Just Do You!"

 Conclusion

Here are five points to consider for making changes in your life:

1. Identify and Eliminate Distractions: Recognize what consumes your time without offering real benefits and take steps to remove these distractions.

2. Focus on Your Purpose: Stay committed to your God-given assignment and work towards fulfilling it.

3. Invest in Relationships: Spend quality time with your family and build meaningful friendships.

4. Prioritize Personal Growth: Continuously work on your personal development and growth.

5. Seek Spiritual Nourishment: Listen to sermons and teachings that build your faith and motivate you to achieve your goals.

By making these changes, you can ensure that 2025 is a year of focus, growth, and fulfillment. Remember, you have the power to overcome distractions and live a life of purpose and impact.

Why do bad things happen to good people while the wicked seem to prosper?

 

"Why do bad things happen to good people while the wicked seem to prosper?"

Introduction

"Why do bad things happen to good people while the wicked seem to prosper?" is as old as humanity itself. 

Even King David grappled with this dilemma in his writings. It's a profound and complex issue that challenges our understanding of fairness and justice in a world governed by an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good God. 

Yet, amidst this complexity, we serve a God who never sleeps nor slumbers, and who has set forth His purposes for the righteous. 

God's Promise to the Righteous 

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NIV)

 "The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." 

  a. Divine Favor: God promises to elevate the righteous, ensuring their success and leadership. 

Psalm 23:1 (NIV) "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." 

  a. Provision and Care: God’s promise of provision and care ensures that His people will not want for anything essential. 

My Book on Amazon Kindle @ https://a.co/d/iXOBNMN


The Reality of a Sinful World 

In this world marred by sin, we encounter lack, disease, failure, wars, and famines. This reality might seem negative, but it's important to understand that nothing happens by chance. Everything is under the sovereign control of God, who has a plan and purpose for all things. 

Psalm 119:68 (NIV) "You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees." 

  a. God's Goodness: Everything God does is rooted in His inherent goodness. 

1 John 1:5 (NIV) "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." 

  a. Absolute Purity: God’s nature is pure and devoid of any darkness, ensuring His actions are always just.

 

Revelation 1:8 (NIV) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." 

  a. Omnipotence: God's omnipotence assures us that He has control over all situations, past, present, and future.

The Story of Job

 Job stands as one of the greatest examples of a righteous man who faced immense suffering. Despite his righteousness, he lost everything due to Satan's machinations, allowed by God to test his faith. Job’s story illustrates that even in suffering, God’s sovereignty reigns supreme. 

Job 1:8 (NIV) "Then the Lord said to Satan, 'Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." 

  a. God’s Sovereignty: God acknowledges Job's righteousness and controls the extent of his trials. 

Job 1:21 (NIV) "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." 

a.   Job’s Faith: Despite his suffering, Job recognizes God’s sovereignty and maintains his faith without blaming God. 

Job’s Restoration and Blessing

Despite Job's immense suffering and losses, his story concludes with a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness and restoration. 

Job 42:10 (NIV) "After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before." 

a. Complete Restoration: God not only restored Job’s previous wealth but blessed him with double of what he had lost. 

Job 42:12 (NIV) "The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys." 

a. Abundant Blessing: This scripture highlights the abundant blessings Job received, showcasing God’s generosity and faithfulness. 

Job’s story serves as a wonderful reminder that God’s plans for His people ultimately lead to restoration and blessing, even after periods of intense trial and suffering.

Prosperity of the Wicked 

At times, the wicked seem to thrive while the righteous suffer. This perceived imbalance challenges our understanding of success and prosperity. 

Psalm 37:1-4 (NIV) "Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." 

  a. Ultimate Justice: The prosperity of the wicked is temporary, while the rewards for the righteous are eternal. 

Proverbs 13:11 (NIV) "Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow." 

  a. Integrity in Prosperity: True and lasting prosperity comes from honest means, as God blesses those who accumulate wealth righteously. 

Eternal Perspective 

As believers, our ultimate hope and reward lie beyond this earthly life. Even if we face hardships here, we are assured of eternal joy and peace in heaven. 

Psalm 23:6 (NIV)  "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." 

  a. Enduring Goodness: God’s goodness and mercy accompany us throughout our lives, culminating in eternal fellowship with Him. 

John 14:2 (NIV) "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" 

  a.Heavenly Promise: 

Jesus assures us of a place in heaven, emphasizing the eternal perspective that transcends earthly trials. 

Conclusion 

In a world fraught with suffering and seeming injustice, the question of why bad things happen to good people is a profound one. 

Yet, the Bible provides comfort and clarity, reminding us of God's sovereignty, goodness, and ultimate plan. 

The story of Job teaches us that God’s control extends over all circumstances, while scriptures like Psalm 37 and John 14 assure us of the temporary nature of earthly trials and the eternal rewards awaiting the faithful. 

As we navigate life's challenges, let us hold steadfastly to the promises of God, trusting that His plans are for our ultimate good and eternal joy. Remember, the prosperity of the wicked is fleeting, but the righteousness of God endures forever.

Unthankful: A Modern Epidemic

 Unthankful: A Modern Epidemic

We live in a time where entitlement seems to be the prevailing attitude among youth, family members, and even church congregants. But what does it mean to be entitled? Entitlement is the belief that one inherently deserves privileges or special treatment. It manifests as the assumption that somewhere in the cosmos, money, gifts, or even land are automatically theirs. This mindset often leads to behaviors like shoplifting for instant gratification, seeking to satisfy desires without considering consequences.

 Biblical Perspective on Being Unthankful

2 Timothy 3:2 (KJV)  "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,."

  a. End Times Sign: This scripture identifies ingratitude as a characteristic of people in the last days, signaling moral decay.

  b. Self-Centeredness: Being unthankful is linked with other selfish traits, such as pride and greed, showing a disregard for others.

  c. Disobedience and Disrespect: Ingratitude often accompanies disobedience to authority, reflecting a lack of respect and humility.

  d. Spiritual Decline: Ingratitude is not just a social issue but a spiritual one, indicating a move away from holiness and righteousness.

 A Song of Thanksgiving

I love Alvin Slaughter's song, "I Give You Thanks for All You Have Done." This powerful worship song reminds us of the importance of gratitude. You can listen to it [here on YouTube] .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMO7BQJ5LVI

 What It Means to Be Thankful: Biblical Definition

According to a Bible dictionary, to be thankful means to express gratitude and appreciation for God’s blessings and provisions. It involves recognizing His goodness and faithfulness in every aspect of our lives.

My Book on Amazon Kindle @ https://a.co/d/faLLF55


 The Importance of Saying Thank You

I was watching Evangelist Joyce Meyer on TV, and she shared an insightful story. She mentioned how people would ask her for financial help for orphanages or community projects. After sending them the money, she noticed that many never took the time to say thank you. This lack of gratitude is disheartening and speaks to a broader issue of entitlement.

My wife, Pastor Everie Turnbull Hazell, exemplifies the importance of gratitude. She always takes the time to text thank you messages and even writes cards saying thank you and God bless you. I applaud her for this gesture. It's a simple yet profound way to show appreciation and acknowledge the kindness of others.

Historic Precedence of Thankfulness

One notable example of a thankful leader is President Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War, he proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving. Despite the country's turmoil, Lincoln recognized the importance of thanking God for the blessings received. This act of gratitude helped to unify the nation and reminded people of the need to acknowledge God's hand in their lives.

 Conclusion

In conclusion, it is crucial to cultivate a spirit of thankfulness. Here are five reasons why it is important to be thankful:

1. Gratitude Acknowledges God’s Goodness: Being thankful helps us recognize and appreciate God's blessings in our lives.

2. Enhances Relationships: Expressing gratitude strengthens bonds with others by showing appreciation for their kindness.

3. Fosters Humility: Thankfulness reminds us that we are not self-sufficient and need others, fostering a sense of humility.

4. Improves Mental Health: Studies show that gratitude can lead to improved mental well-being, reducing stress and increasing happiness.

5. Cultivates a Positive Outlook: A thankful heart focuses on the positive aspects of life, helping to cultivate a more optimistic perspective.

Let us strive to be more thankful in our daily lives, recognizing the blessings we receive and expressing our gratitude to God and others.
