SEEING DEEPLY

-

 


Psalm 119:18 KJV

[18] Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.


The person that made this statement had his eyes opened. He can see the letters but needs supernatural illumination. God will not do what is humanly possible. When you close your eyes and pray that God should open it, you will be there until you are tired. The person that is asking God to open his eyes is asking for insight and revelation. He wanted the spirit behind the letters. He knows that the word is spirit and life. According to 2Cor3:6 the letter kills but the spirit gives life. 


Looking is a physical act of moving your eyes to see something while seeing involves understanding what you are looking at. It is not everyone that sees well. Jesus spat on a blind man’s eyes and put His hands on him. He asked the man what he saw. He said I see men as trees, walking. He put His hands on him again and he was restored. 


Looking is simply the act of directing your eyes towards something. Seeing, on the other hand, is taking in the details of what you are looking at. It involves paying attention to what you are seeing and really processing the information.  Looking is passive while seeing is active. You can look at something without really taking notice of it, but you cannot see something unless you are actively engaged in looking at it, meditating on it.


Anything the eyes makes contact with consistently, becomes what the mind thinks. what your eyes makes contact with, forces your mind to begin to think on that reality. It’s easy for people to process their challenges because of their contact with it all the time. However there is a superior way to deal with that challenge, and that is seeing it through the word of God. Don’t be limited by sight, (what you see).   


What we fix our eyes on continually will automatically impact our inner eyes. It is when we see with the inner eyes that we experience transformation. What are you fixing your physical eyes on, your problems or God's promises? To change your life, you must be deliberate about what you focus your eyes on. Remember, what you fix your physical eyes on continually will program your inner mind which will eventually determine your reality in life. Begin to see from God’s perspective. You are the determinant of your reality.

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

-
I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t
