Focus is what all of us do when we are doing something. We can even consider to be focusing when we are thinking. We need to be focus in order to get things done. Without focus, we cannot complete a task. Just like oxygen, we cannot do without.

Take for example; solving a mathematics problem sum, we need to think of the steps in solving the problems or equations in order to find the answer. Step 1, 2, 3 and so on. In order to solve the equation, we need to focus on the steps before and ahead of it. in this way, we are not just focusing on one thing but multiples. I termed this as a Dual focus.

Playing chess shares the same concept. Thinking on several steps ahead in order to make a single move requires dual focus. You cannot just move your pieces in just one step without considering what the consequences you might face later.

Placing God in all the things you do is a dual focus. Christians should do things while focusing on God in such a way that we thank God, talk to God, praise God in the mist of doing something. In this way, when we successfully completed a task, we can bring all the glory that is in it to God for we do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Just like the meaning of Focus stated above, we need to give God our attention or direct our attention to Him while performing a task. He deserves to be in our life at all times and so we ought to give our attention to Him in all things we do. We can use the verses to remind ourselves at all times that we need to be faithful, forgiving, loving, honest, etc and God’s promises to us. Therefore, we can do all things with joy.

Here are some of the verse we can think or remind ourselves when we are dual focusing:
(1.) The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:6)
(2.) If you love me, you will obey what I command (John 14:15)
(3.) Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all the things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33)
(4.) God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
(5.) I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
(6.) … all things are possible for one who believes (Mark 9:23)
