DISTRACTION SHALL NOT BE YOUR PORTION

Without any doubt, distraction will derail or deny focus on the calling of God to arrive at the divine center assignment.
Distraction can be a disruption or disturbance.
Distraction can also be an indefinable force that will derail not experiencing the presence of God.
For example, Samson was the calling of God to be a deliverer of his people by the hand of God. 
When he was to become conceived, God sent an angel that said to his mother that she shall conceive and bear a son with instruction not to drink wine or similar drink and not to eat anything unclean.
The angel also instructed her that no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. (Judges 13:3-5) 
BEFORE THE BIRTH OF SAMSON, WAS DESTINED TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE, BUT DISTRACTION PROVOKED HIS DISOBEDIENCE BEFORE GOD. 
SAMSON LOOKED AWAY FROM THE WORD OF DIRECTION INTO THE WORLD.
Distraction will lead to looking away from God.
Samson FAILED to hide under the word of God (the word of God is a place to dwell and abide for obedient one) to become exposed to the evil devices of his wife (Delilah) and made him become a victim in the hand of his enemy. 
Watching and praying will deny distraction. 
The book of Judges 16 records,  “When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” 
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest one as an agent of evil.
Samson failed to deny distraction over his life.
However, distraction is deniable.
For example, during the challenges of Job, it was his wife who attempted to distract Job. 
Job 2:9 records the distraction of his wife, “Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”  
Unlike Samson, Job resisted the device of distraction from his wife when he responded: “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10) 
Are you avoiding the patterns of distraction in your way of life?
Know and understand how to deny distractions from close ones or ones from a distance.
Deny distraction, remain focused on God, and not become a victim of the evil of this world.
Many have received Jesus as Lord and Savior, but distraction denies focusing on God.
Does that sound like you?
Distraction is a weapon of the enemy.
For example, Martha welcomed Jesus into her life, her house, but she could not avoid distraction from denying her to gain a position in the presence of Jesus. 
Martha welcomed Him into her house, “But Martha was distracted with much serving…”
Jesus identifies the distraction of Martha:
Martha was worried and troubled about many things.
Martha welcomed Jesus into her house, but distraction prevented her from Jesus.  
Who or what is your distraction? 
Deny distraction and focus on God alone. 
From this moment, do not become a victim of distraction to experience evil occurrences over your life.
PRAYER:
Ask God to deliver you from every force of distraction, consciously or unconsciously, physically, spiritually, or emotionally, over your life.
Ask that distraction that derails the called one of God shall not locate you, to derail you from answering fully to the calling of God.
Ask that you shall not be trapped, not become asleep in the hand of evil agenda. (Sampson went to sleep and woke in the hand of the enemy to find out that the LORD HAS departed from Him.) 
Job denied the spirit of distraction from his.
Ask that in every relation with you, the spirit to deny distraction becomes established in you.
Ask that you will know and understand how to deny distractions from close ones or ones from a distance.
Ask that way, or habits (the pattern) of distraction shall not have a place in your life.
Like Martha, many have received Jesus as Lord and Savior, but distraction denies focusing on God.
Ask that focusing on the assignment of God in your life shall be established and not become a victim of distraction. 
Jesus identified the worrying of Martha as the agent of her distraction.
Ask that spirit and other forces of getting worried to become distracted in the calling of God shall not have a place in your life in the name of Jesus.
Ask that worrying that provokes you to be troubled about many things should cease in your life.
Ask God to enable you to always watch and pray against distraction.
