What Can You See?
While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal; but the things which
are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).
In Genesis 15, we read that the Lord gave His
promise to Abraham that he (Abraham) would
be the father of many nations. God promised him that
his seed shall be numerous upon the earth, and the
whole world would be blessed through him.
However, Abraham, who then was still called
“Abram,” argued and questioned the possibility of
God’s promise ever coming to pass, because he
had no child: “…what wilt thou give me, seeing I go
childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer
of Damascus?” (Genesis 15:2). The Lord’s response to
him was so remarkable. He took Abraham outside in
the night-time and said, “…Look now toward heaven,
and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them:
and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be” (Genesis
15:5).
The next verse tells us that Abraham believed, and
the Lord accounted it to him for righteousness (Genesis
15:6). God helped his vision. He trained him on how
to see rightly; how to use his sense of sight; spiritual
sight. That’s what we call, “seeing for realities.”
By taking him out in the night and asking him to
number the stars, God engaged him spiritually on how
to look beyond the optical realm, and see with the eyes
of the spirit. It’s what we’re called to do in Christianity:
we look and see beyond what our minds and optical
vision can perceive. We see with the eyes of faith.
We’re the seed of Abraham. Romans 4:16 calls
Abraham who is the father of faith, the father of us all.
God already set the precedent with Abraham. You
have to practise seeing realities. Consciously create
time, when, all by yourself, you use your spiritual
sight.
God has set eternity in your heart (Ecclesiastes
3:11). You’ve been given an extraordinary capacity
to contemplate, think, envision, and see. Use this
powerful spiritual tool to dominate your world.
There’re no limits to the extent and capacity with which
you can function; the extent to which you can “see,”
is the extent to which you can make real in your life.
So, what can you see?
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word which gives me
insight into realities. I’m the seed of Abraham, and therefore,
a possessor of the whole world. I envision and possess divine
health, prosperity, victories, beauties and glories of the
Christlife, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
