Single-mindedness is the pursuit of your goals to the exclusion of all else. Some definitions say “to the detriment” of everything else. Is this what God means when He asks us to be single-minded? Why does God want that level of single-minded determination from His people?
A single-minded person has a goal. They can clearly see it and have visualized themselves claiming it. They will not allow anything or anyone to get in the way of that goal. They are actively working to achieve their goals. When not tempered by godliness, single-mindedness can look a lot like selfishness. But when single-mindedness becomes God-cent...
To please God with our single-minded determination is to focus solely on pleasing Him and doing as He commands. When we are soul-out for Jesus, we are willing to put our personal agenda aside and focus on doing what God wants. It means we no longer live to please ourselves or live by the whims and fancies of this world. Like Abraham, we should look...
What happens when despite all your efforts…all your single-mindedness…you don’t get what you want? What then? How we behave when we can’t have our way has a lot to say about our characters.

With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments (Psalm 119:10 NASB). Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, (Philippians 3:13 NASB). But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and...
If you are someone who gets totally focused on one thing to the exclusion of all else you may wonder if single-mindedness is bad. My answer to you is that it depends on how you use it. If your determination to achieve your goals looks like a single-minded pursuit of your own desires regardless of what other people want or who gets hurt, then you ne...
In essence then, it is a single-minded devotion which entails loving the Lord with all one’s heart. It means putting Him first and thereby seeking first the kingdom of God, i.e., the reign and rule of God in one’s life. Fundamentally, a single-minded devotion to God is a matter of faith or implicit trust in God.
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. In 1 Peter 3:8, Peter exhorts believers to “be of one mind” (NKJV). This unity is important because all Christians are on the same team, especially those in a local body. A team falls apart and loses its aim when it is not of one mind. When we treat believers as Christ has called us to, we can be of one mind in what we believe and ...

They were deeply ...
