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!

  • I desire mercy and not sacrifice

    «As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, „Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, „Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, „Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance» (Mathew, 9:9-13).

  • Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God

    “ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.

  • Life is a test

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Once we understand our life is a test, many questioned get solved by themselves and we can rejoice and enjoy our life. Those who understand that life is a test, they treat every difficult situation as an opportunity, not as an obstacle. The Bible often tells us how God tests His children. He is not doing it because He hates us nor because He wants to see our fall. Not at all! God puts us in test for few reasons. God blessed Abraham with a son first, then tested him asking to sacrifice his son on the altar. God allowed ordeals in Job’s life, then Job went through all that horror and bitterness.

  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? II

    Through faith in Jesus Christ we become clothed in his righteousness and nature. In the our spirit we have the perfect character of the Almighty God even though we do not become perfect in our actions immediately after becoming followers of Jesus. We reflect God’s life, character and thoughts more and more in our lives to that extent to which we submit ourselves to the new nature in our spirit. Our daily submission to God’s nature and character in us is what I call practical righteousness that qualifies us for God’s favour.

  • Fight for the lives of your children, your family and friends!

    You know that in the history of revivals the key role was played by praying women, because God had given them the burden of prayer for the lives other people. Women know how to carry things that distress them and bear them before God. That is why prayer is one of the purposes of mothers. Mother’s prayers are so powerful! Mother’s prayer reaches the goal! Mother’s prayer brings freedom to her children! So if you are a mother, God expects unceasing prayers from you, until the necessary answer comes. Do not stop praying for your children. Children need your prayers, and other people need your prayers.
