F- stands for Focus. To be great you must have a focus and be focused in your pursuit. ‘Success,’ someone said, ‘is jealous of scattered forces.’ Many people will try to dissuade you from your path but you must steadfastly pursue. Don’t be like the servant, who while he was busy here and there, he lost the man put in his custody (1 King 20:40). Mind your business.
I - Invest in your life. Develop yourself. Watch out for those things that drain your life and avoid them. Study the Word of God. Read great books. Use the internet to get information that will build you, not destroy your life. Build your inner man and fortify your mind. Psalm 119:105 says, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’
R – Be responsive and responsible. Responsibility is individualistic. It is having influence. Responsibility is making an incredible impact. But responsibility is time-bound. Lamentations 3:27 says, ‘It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.’ Take up responsibility now. Respond to the situations. Step out to make a difference; don’t wait for the next person to do it.
E – Execute your vision. Do what God has told you to do. Don’t wait. Dreams should be a ‘Go Thing’. It should be like a grain of mustard seed that grows into a mighty tree (Matthew 13:31). It should be something that compels you.
Note: Three parameters that will determine greatness -
• What you have within – Your character
• What you are with people – Your caring ministry
• What you do at work – Your competence
This week decide to work from inside out. Build your inner man, be responsive to the demands around you, improve on your skills and you will fulfil purpose. By G. E. Erhabor.
