Our life is a product of what we see

ByMācītājs Rufus Adžiboije Reading Time: 3 minutes
I bless you, precious children of God, and pray that God will bless your life in a special way today! Yesterday we started to talk about how to construct a wonderful future. We also talked about the fact that you can not have what you do not see. Our life is a product of what we see. Our future is a reflection of what we envision. What we envision is what we set our heart on.God wanted to turn Abram into a great man, and He promised that right after their first meeting. In order for that to become a reality, God made Abram His partner. It was necessary so that Abram could start building the future God had prepared for him.
«And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: „Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are – northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever»(Genesis, 13:14-15).
We see that God began stretching Abram’s vision and broadening his horizons, because He wanted Abram to have the vision of a great future that was prepared for him: «…all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants». God told Abram to lift up his eyes and to start looking around. He told Abram that he would have only those things which he was able to see or envision. The land that Abram was able to see would be given to him. You cannot have what you cannot see. God wants you to answer the following question today: what are you seeing? How do you see your life? What picture of your future are you seeing today? How do you see your life in 2 years, 5 years or 7 years? How do you see the future of your family? How do you see the future of your ministry? Answers to these questions are very important. Only those people that have a vision of the future can be made great by God. Those that do not have any vision will never be great. That is why God first places thoughts of who He wants us to be in our minds to engage our imagination. If we are able to see the future with the eyes of our minds, we will come into that future we are seeing. Tomorrow we will talk about this in more detail. Today I would just like you to ask yourself a question: what do I see? The way I see myself today is what I will become tomorrow. Be blessed! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Yesterday we started talking about God’s desire to demonstrate His glory and fullness in our lives; for this to happen we have to prepare our hearts and to prepare the way of the Lord. We have to cleanse our hearts from the things that God hates and cannot look upon.The following verses from the Scripture reveal the principle of preparation the way of the Lord.«In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’”» (Mathew, 3:1-3).

    1. Use the spiritual weapons God has given you: «Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God» (Ephesians, 6:10-17).
