READ: Philippians 3:7-20
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” - Philippians 3:7
Many Christians do not concentrate on what they are doing. Many Christians belong to many things and therefore do not make an impact anywhere. Every war is won by concentrating on one thing at a time until it is conquered.
The British army teaches how «concentration of forces involves the decisive, synchronized application of superior fighting power to realize intended effects». The Russian Armed Forces simply describes this as the decisive concentration of the essential force at the needed moment and in the most important direction to achieve the main mission.
The principle of concentration can be applied in many spheres of life. Concentrating your love on one person can give you a life-long relationship of happiness. Concentrating your forces on your marital problems and applying all efforts can make your marriage work out and help you avoid a divorce.
Concentrating on conquering the mystery of church growth can make your church grow into a mega church. Concentrating on the ministry as a career can bring you into full- time ministry. In 1991, the Holy Spirit spoke to me to give myself wholly to the ministry. This was simply God’s command to me to wage war with the principle of concentration.
To overcome a strong enemy, you will have to concentrate your forces on a single target until it is well and truly overcome. When you face a wicked enemy, concentrate your forces and overcome him! There is a price to pay for victory: to concentrate on one thing.
