Fund Raising Ideas: 5 Steps To Focus

This is a fund raising ideas special report on the subject of focus, keys to success for business or ministry.

Focus for success in ministry or business is an element that is easy to talk about and less easy to define.

What encompasses the word focus? Are there steps to improve your focus so you can experience more success in your ministry, your business, even in your personal life?

I’ve been hearing the word “focus” a lot lately as my husband lovingly teases me that I can get going in five different directions and instantly lose focus. One minute I could be helping with the
dishes and the next, I end up on my computer answering a friend on Facebook. Although the kids tend to laugh at me when I sometimes do funny things because my mind is elsewhere (such
as put the milk in the pantry instead of the refrigerator), I know it’s no laughing matter in the end.

So I went on a serious journey to define focus and find sound keys to improve it in my life for ministry or business. From the word of God to great teachers in ministry and business, I found some keys that anyone could use to open the door to a greater potential of improving their focus in their life.

Focus Defined

The word focus is defined as “a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.” I’d like to hone in on the part of definition that involves concentration: to focus one’s thoughts. The mind
is an incredible gift from God. As it says in His Word, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”(Proverbs 23:7)

So the beginning key to having a better focus has to start in the mind.

Well, I love acronyms, so I took the letters in focus and found five central thoughts to improve your focus for success in ministry, business and life!

STEP 1 “F” FIX YOUR EYES ON THE DESTINATION

Step one is to simply fix your eyes (your mind) on the
destination.

Your destination in business might be to start a company,
to get a raise, to find a way to earn extra money online, or to
learn a new skill. You may want to pay off credit cards or
pay off your house to be debt free.

What’s your desired destination in your ministry? It might be financial freedom so you can do what God has called you
to without stressing over the provision for the vision.

Your desired destination might be to see your family or marriage restored.

Fix your eyes on it! Define it. Right it down on paper.
Take this as fuel for your mind...In Hebrews Chapter 12, verse 2, we are encouraged:

“...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus knew his final destination was the his own death on the cross to fulfill His purpose to restore the fellowship of mankind to the Father. So amidst the attacks, the slander, and the pain, He pressed forward to be about His Father’s business.

 

Knowing the end result of this would mean ultimate fellowship, redeeming His people to the Father, only made Him all the more intent to set His face like flint to go to Jerusalem. He was longing for the fellowship of His Father, and desiring YOU to be right there with Him.

That drive toward that destination was alive in Him like fire
from the cradle right to the cross. Jesus is the ultimate example of someone having focus!

You’ll be amazed what you can endure when you make your destination you desire in your life a priority.
