THE POWER OF SIGHT II
Memorise: By faith Moses, when he was
come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Hebrews
11:24
Read: Genesis 13:14-18, Bible in one
year: 2nd Samuel 11:1-12:23, Mark 12:28-13:2
The power of spiritual sight is apparent
in anyone who has it. Such a person can see into the future and therefore does
not exercise any form of fear. We can see these attributes manifested in Elisha
in 2nd Kings 6:11-18. Elisha’s servant could not see what his master
saw, and so he was afraid of the human army attempting to arrest them; but read
what happens in 2nd Kings 6:17
“And
Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And
the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around about Elisha.”
People often ask me why I don’t go about
with police escorts like many great men of God do. My answer is simple: it is
great men who need human protection, and if only God would open the eyes of
those who are so concerned about my safety, they would see that those who are
with me are more than those with the enemies who would want to attack me.
What really kept Abraham going in his
journey of faith was the power of what he was seeing. God, in several instances
used audiovisual aids to build up his faith (Genesis 13:14-17, Genesis 15:5-6).
What God showed Abraham was so convincing that he stopped worrying about his
state of childlessness until the child of promise came.
Moses also was endowed with the power of
sight; he saw into the future of the Hebrew while they were still in bondage
(Hebrews 11:24-26). He saw that someday these people would be set free, while
their tormentors would be in agony. He therefore preferred the temporary shame
of identifying with the people of God, to the enjoyment of temporary bliss that
would lead to eternal damnation. This quality qualified Moses to lead the
people of God. He who sees what others can’t see will ultimately lead the rest.
I pray that whatever is blocking your vision will be removed today in Jesus’
Name. A man with the power of sight will often act reasonably well. For
example, after King Nebuchadnezzar saw a fourth man in the fiery furnace, his
perception changed (Daniel 3:23-30). May the Lord open your eyes to see the
pleasant surprises that God has in store for you, so that you don’t backslide
before the time of your divine visitation.
Prayer point
Father, please grant me the grace to
remain committed to my future, and strengthen me to do all that is required of
me to attain the glorious future.
