CONSECRATION - Focusing On What's Important

Have you ever felt scattered, trying to please everyone while losing sight of your true purpose? In a powerful message on consecration, Pastor Pencil challenges us to live a focused, set-apart life for God. Drawing from John 8:12-14, where Jesus declares "I am the light of the world," he reveals how understanding our divine purpose transforms our effectiveness. Through the acronym FOCUS, Pastor Pencil outlines a practical framework: Find your purpose, Order your priorities, Create your plan, Understand your calling, and Stay accountable. He emphasizes that just as Jesus had a clear 14-word purpose statement, we too must discover and live out our unique calling. Using personal examples from his missionary work in Swaziland, he illustrates how staying focused on God's specific assignment leads to Kingdom impact. The message culminates in a stirring reminder that when we know where we're going, distractions lose their power – and like focused light, our lives can create lasting change when aligned with God's purpose.
