Guard Your Vision
Be sensible and don’t tell everything you know…
(Proverbs 12:23 CEV).
When you walk with the Lord, He gives you
visions for your future; visions about your
life, the things He wants to accomplish with you and
through you. He causes you to see into the future so
you can head for that future. Everybody may not see
what you see, or know the future God is guiding you
into. But some people try to tell everybody what God
is showing them about their future. That’ll be a mistake,
except if He’s the one leading you to talk about it.
Understand that Satan doesn’t know what you see,
until you tell him; he doesn’t know everything. When
he hears about what you see, then he starts scheming
how to work out a plan to try to stop you. There’re
people who, because they couldn’t keep certain things
to themselves, lost the beautiful idea they received
from the Spirit. Once they got the idea for something,
they started telling people about it, and Satan got
wind of it and devised means to stop the idea from
materializing. Don’t give him that chance.
Our theme verse says, “Be sensible and don’t tell
everything you know….” Don’t always tell your plans
to non-Christians. Whatever idea God gives you, get
started with it first before talking about it; or else you
may never start. It’s not because the people that know
about your vision or even the devil can stop you; no.
It’s because there’s a spirit that works with them; they
may exude a certain kind of negativism that could
dampen your zeal for what God wants you to do, if
you’re not careful. So, be spiritually smart. The Bible
says, “Watch your words and hold your tongue; you’ll
save yourself a lot of grief” (Proverbs 21:23 MSG).
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the visions of the great future that
you have for me. My heart is flooded with light to see,
comprehend, and apprehend my glorious destiny in Christ. I
follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as He unveils His plans and
strategies to me in executing the ideas you give me for success in
life and ministry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
