There is a
story about a certain man that went against the law of the land and was meant
to be killed. He however pleaded and the king agreed to pardon him only on one
condition. The condition was that the man would walk fifty yards with a cup
filled to the brim with water, and no drop of water must be seen.
When the day
came, there were lot of people around. The moment this man started, people
started cheering him, some booing him, while some were just indifferent. The
next thing everyone knew was that this man walked fifty yards with a cup filled
with water without a drop falling to the ground.
When asked,
how he was able to achieve such with the noise and distraction from the crowd.
He looked around surprised to see people and said, "I didn't even notice
people were here. My ears were blocked to external voices and my eyes glued to
the finish line."
The easiest
thing on earth is to get distracted. In this age of technology where
entertainment is now on the go, its very easy to forget the goal. Some of us
have beautiful dreams and visions but the television is our main distraction.
Some of us, the telephone is our greatest distraction.
Heb 12:2
says,"Looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who
for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Had Jesus get
distracted by the noise of the crowd asking Him to save Himself, the purpose of
His coming would have been forfeited.
What is your greatest
distraction? Phone? Switch it off before your destiny gets switched off. Maybe
yours is television. I tell people, only people with vision gets seen on the
television. Work at distracting your distraction.
I pray that
you shall fulfill destiny in Jesus Name. Amen!
