    About this ebook

    In chapter 4 talks about focus on giving God Thanks for Everything.

    The Holy Spirit led me to further focus on my ancestry, who faithfully served and dedicated themselves to God. They prayed to pave the way for the next generation to be strong, unable to uproot from Gods Word and purposeto stay focused, faithful, obedient, and serve God in Jesus name to the fullest.

    Focus on Gods Word, and see it come to pass.

    And it shall come to pass that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your off-spring after you, who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
    I Chronicles 17:11

    My great-great-grandfather, Elder Aaron Bazemore (in middle); my sister, Angel (far left); and myself, Linda (far right)

    In Jesus name, thank you, Heavenly Father, for answering the prayers of my ancestry and allowing me to see the mantle of God being passed to the next generation and generations to come. Thank you, Lord, for choosing me and my offspring to come. Amen.

    Linda B. Pugh

    Linda B. Pugh feels that Jesus qualified her to write this book the moment she answered the call to write. Even she learned from this book that God’s Word means what it says: that I can do all—not some, but all—things through Jesus Christ, who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). Linda also writes and sings gospel songs, glorifying God with them. .

      You Must Have Focus (On God), Faith (In God), and Favor (Of God) - Linda B. Pugh

      CHAPTER ONE

      Staying Focused (in God’s word)

      W hen I here the word staying focused, it’s easier said then done your heart, mind, soul, must be in it. just like when we want the fulfillment of God in our lives we must, no matter what’s going on around us we must stay rooted in God’s word and when we’ll rooted Jesus becomes that strong foundation solid rock that when the storms of life comes were still focused on God. many times people lose focus and give up because while in the process they weren’t prepared or expecting what they’re experiencing. and that being we must not overlook or try to by pass God’s holy word for God is not an halfway God.

      for we must put on the whole armour of God to stand against the wiles of the devil [Ephesians 6: 11]. when we don’t put Jesus first believe it or not were not focused on God or have faith in him it’s just like building an house, because without the foundation the house and everyone in the house will collapse the same way when we put our focus on Jesus Christ were keeping him first and Jesus keeps our family and ourselves firm safe regardless of what’s going on around us.

      CHAPTER TWO

      Praise and Worship God

      (remain focused on Jesus Christ)

      W hen we praise and worship God we must be focused completely on Jesus Christ, I believe many of us misunderstand the importance of praise and worship for when we praise and worship God with all our heart it takes our minds off our trouble and the Spirit of God which is the Holy Spirit is drawn to our praise and worship and when the Spirit of God comes upon us it produces: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithness, Gentleness, and having control of one self.

      and these are the nine fruits of the Spirit [Galatians 5:22] which we need everyday in our walk with Christ Jesus.

      No matter where or when we should always praise God for this is a command from God all that were created by him. [Psalm 148:5] let everything that has breath praise the Lord [Psalm 150:6]. so don’t praise him when you feel like it or when your not upset, focus on Jesus Christ for the Joy of the Lord is your strength [Nehemiah 8:10] and focus worshiping God with all your heart in spirit and truth in Christ Jesus.

      when you find it hard to praise and worship God remember focus on the solution not the problem in other words focus on God’s Holy word: ask and it shall be given to you. [Matthew 7:7] ask Jesus to teach you how to praise and worship even in difficult times, face it the enemy will always try to keep us from drawing close to the Lord that’s why we must stay focused on God’s Holy word. take this for example: when we go into our work place we at times don’t feel like dealing with the customers or just don’t feel like working so we either call out or just deal with it and think of our next day off.

      but being in the body of Christ we are overcomers because of Jesus love for us. [Romans 8:37]. besides being at a workplace and living a Christian life are different in many ways at a workplace you can call out but when walking in the Love of God you will face the enemy everyday but were not alone focus on God’s word: Greater is Jesus that is in us (you) than he that is in the world. [John 4:4] whatever the enemy do to keep you from praising and worshiping Almighty God remain focused on Jesus Christ.

      I like how Apostle Paul brakes it down "nothing absolutely nothing can keep us from the love of God [Romans 8:38-39]

      so focus on Jesus Christ continue to praise and worship God with all your heart, soul, and mind [focus].

      CHAPTER THREE

      Pray to God in Jesus name

      (focus on God son Jesus Christ)

      Y ou may think when we pray to Almighty God there’s no need to focus, that’s another one of the devil’s lies when we don’t focus on our source, that’s like sending out a message but didn’t get to the correct source that’s why we must be focused in God’s word for Jesus said. "I am the way and truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me [John 14:6] when I looked up the
