DISTRACTIONS

     

Distractions are every where.When people get distracted, unexpected things happen.  A good example of distraction is a student who gets distracted in class. He will definitely miss out on vital points the teacher said. Also, a woman who gets distracted in the kitchen will get the food burnt and any driver who gets distracted will get the passengers killed. What is distracting you?
      Acts 20:7-9 NCV says (7 On the first day of the week,8 We were all together in a room upstairs,and there were many lamps in the room.9 A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window.As Paul continued talking, Eutychus was falling into a deep sleep. Finally, he went sound asleep and fell to the ground from the third floor.When they picked him up, he was dead). Eutychus got distracted by sleeping in the course the message. Sleep did not only distract him, it also led to his death though he was resuscitated later. He was a christian who was attending a believers' meeting (church) and he got distracted. Uhm, this must be familiar to us. If Usain Bolt gets distracted in the course of a race, he will lose the gold though he is the fastest man on earth today.
     Are you a christian, pastor, lady, man, student, boy, husband, wife, etc who is being distracted? You need to call yourself to order now. For those married people who are having emotional affair with someone outside other than your husband, you will end up destroying your home and yourself. You can't put fire on your lap and not get burnt. You just have to be focused on the goal, the prize and the journey and let your eyes become one.
     Being focused is what is needful in the race of life. luke 10:40-42 says, (40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked,"Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" 41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered,"you are worried and upset about many things,42 but few things are needed or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her"). Wilson Ileogben
