THE VISIONARY CHRISTIAN II – Tuesday May 12th
2020
Memorise: For the vision is
yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though
it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk
2:3
Read: Daniel 10:1-14 (KJV)
1 In
the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose
name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed
was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 In those days I
Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant
bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at
all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 And in the four and
twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river,
which is Hiddekel;
5 Then I lifted up mine
eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were
girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was
like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as
lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and
the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I Daniel alone
saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great
quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left
alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my
comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Yet heard I the voice
of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep
sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand
touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me,
O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee,
and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this
word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me,
Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to
understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I
am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the
kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of
the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of
Persia.
14 Now I am come to make
thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the
vision is for many days.

Many
Christians are impatient with God for the manifestation of His promises,
forgetting that there are some necessary steps required of them as we have
observed from the scriptures.

·
Pray:
Daniel, a visionary prophet prayed for the fulfilment of
God’s promises – the return from the captivity of Israel (Daniel 10:1-14).
·
Wait:
Habakkuk 2:3 says what our attitude towards God-given prophecies
should be: “…though it tarry, wait for
it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” We must learn to wait
patiently.
·
Believe:
Even if visions and prophecies delay, we must continue to
believe because such a delay does not necessarily mean it is false. Daniel 10:1
say “… and the thing was true, but the
time appointed was long.”

Never
be in a hurry to grab the pleasant promises of God. Faith is required for the
fulfilment of His promises. Hebrews 11:11 says:
“Through faith also Sara herself
received strength to conceived seed, and was delivered of a child when she was
past age, because she judge him faithful who had promised.”
Whatever,
promise you are waiting for, don’t get so carried away that you miss the
benefits the vision carries. You must know the timing of the fulfilment of the
vision and when to act upon it.
Open Heaven 12 May 2020 Tuesday: Prayer Point
As a
young Bible College graduate, you may have seen a very large congregation in a
vision even while in training. You need to ask God what to do, how to do it and
when the fulfilment shall come. When a person has not won a seat at the local
council and God shows him a vision of becoming a governor, it does not mean the
vision is false. The person just needs to locate the time of its fulfilment and
patiently work towards it. It took Joseph decades to experience the fulfilment
of His dreams.
The
vision is for an appointed time; wait for it. Its fulfilment will not elude
you, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer Point
Father, give me the grace to
patiently wait for the manifestation of Your beautiful promises for my life. In
the mighty name of Jesus.
