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

    Jesus sometimes connects sickness with sins. This is not always the true for every sickness or situation (John 9:1-3), but very often our problems are connected to some unconfessed sins in our lives. “And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee” (Matthew 9:1-8).

  • Wisdom of a man and wisdom of God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    There are a wisdom of this world and God´s wisdom. God´s wisdom differs from the wisdom of this world the way that it´s hidden until the God Himself reveals it to the people. As for the wisdom of this world, that´s a human wisdom gained using five methods of perception, or sense: hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste, which are the natural channels used to gain a knowledge. Differently from God´s wisdom that exists for our glory, the wisdom of a man once passes away. The Bible says, that «the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men», even more His wisdom is. God´s wisdom is much higher than the wisdom of a man.

    We are talking about the importance of knowing and doing God’s will. Yesterday we talked about the fact that God reveals His plans and intentions to us gradually as we reach particular levels of maturity and grow in our ability to accept what He has prepared for us. We also established that God reveals His will to those who are close to Him, seek His will and are willing to do His will. God looks at what we do with what we already know, and only then He will reveal the next part of His plan for our lives.
