BIBLE IN A YEAR: Num 28-30
COMPLETE EYESIGHT
MEMORIZE: "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:18)
READ: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1Thess. 5:23). Man is a trinity comprising body, soul and spirit. Man is three in one and this affords him three pairs of eyes. The first sets are the physical eyes attached to the body. Anyone who lacks physical eyes is seriously challenged, because the eyes are the light of the body (Matt. 6:22). It is dangerous to be without physical sight like the man in John 9:1-7. The blind cannot enjoy the beauty of nature. Walking is seriously hampered and collision is inevitable. Many times blind people remain on the same spot they were left. Are you blind? The Lord will touch your eyes and restore perfect sight in Jesus’ Name.
“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints” (Ephesians 1:18). The second set of eyes belong to the soul. They are the eyes of understanding. During communication - which is the exchange of meanings, symbols, signs or words are exchanged and at some point, the recipient of such a message receives meaning from them. The eyes of understanding are so vital that they could make the difference between salvation and perdition. When the Gospel is preached, many people find it difficult to understand how the death of someone over 2000 years ago can secure Heaven for them.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (1 Cor. 1:18). It is amazing how many people would end up in hell, just because they are disappointed that God’s way of salvation is too simple. They will believe and accept something complex, not something as easy as salvation by grace. If you tell them to pay some millions of naira, or fast for a year, inflict various punishment or injury just to be saved, they will easily believe you. If you believe that salvation is free and not by works, thanks God for opening the eyes of your understanding. It took me a long time to understand and believe that we have been healed by His stripes. Whenever people testified that they had not used medicine for 16 years, I will ask: ‘Who followed them to their bedroom to verify their claims?’ I thought they wanted me to die through the teaching on divine healing. But one day, the eyes of my understanding were opened. I have been a living witness of divine health ever since. The Lord will open the eyes of your understanding to enable you receive His Word.
ACTIONPOINT:Ask God to open the eyes of your understanding to enable you comprehend everything He has for you in His Word and in Heaven.

There's so much you can do when you are blind compared to when you are not. Yes, most of them remain stagnant in one place..but thinkin about it...its just same as 'spiritual eyes'. If your spiritual eyes is blind or fogged, u can barely do anything and u'll just be perambulating in on place. I pray God will open our physical, spiritual and soul eyes in Jesus name!
but for how long do we sit and wait for the bread of grace to fall from heaven....we have to reach for it...and its by praying...hebrews 4 vs 16 (let us approach the throne of grace with confidence that we may recieve mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need)..brethren this is the time we need our inner eyes to be opened....(collosians 1 vs 9 and 10 says... so we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. we ask GOD to give you complete knowledge of his will and give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord and your life will life will produce every kind of good fruit.)....
digest this scripture and make it your everyday prayer....and GOD will fill your heart with HIS LIGHT
FATHER, PLEASE GIVE US THE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR WILL AND GIVE US YOUR SPIRITUAL WISDON AND UNDERSTANDING SO THAT OUR LIVES WILL ALWAYS HONOR AND PLEASE YOU. AND ALSO THAT OUR LIVES WILL PRODUCE EVERY KIND OF GOOD FRUIT....IN JESUS NAME....AMEN!
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!
