BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Chron 4-6
TENT VIEW OR SKY VIEW?
MEMORIZE: "And he brought him forth abroad, 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)
READ: Genesis 15:1-5
“And he brought him forth abroad, 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). In fulfilling destiny, you cannot under estimate the place of vision. People are where they are now because of what they saw some years ago. If you cannot see your future, it is doubtful if you can ever get there. What your eyes can see, your mind can conceive. If you depend on your limited valley view, you cannot become anyone special. To see more, you need to climb higher. If you keep away from God’s presence, you cannot know God’s high calling upon you. You may never discover your ultimate divine destiny outside the mountain of God ’s presence. God had to bring Abraham out of his limited tent view into unlimited sky view for him to become the father of nations. To get to where God is taking you, you have to dump your tent view. Drop every vision, goal or target that falls within reach for the seemingly impossible vision that comes from above. You are more than you think you are. Never rate yourself by the limits of your strength, ability, resources, etc. As long as God is on your side, you are more than sufficient.
The Lord miraculously provided 114 acres of land for our camp at Dallas , Texas . I went to see the place and decided to spend the night alone with God. At some point, I came out of the caravan to pray while walking, around but it was quite cold so I returned to the caravan. My spirit was not at peace so I defied the cold and came out to pray. It was while praying, that the Lord told me He had given me all the land I can see there. I thanked Him, prayed some more and went to sleep. The following day, I disclosed what the Lord told me to some of my boys but asked them to keep it to themselves. Although it appeared impossible, they however said ‘Amen’. Today, we already have 580 acres. When we newly entered the land, there was a big storey building which I liked. I told the brother who was driving me, ‘This is my house’. He laughed. A few years ago, the owner of that house came to tell us he wants to sell the house and adjoining land. He pleaded for us to give him a little while before moving. What you see is what you get. Joseph saw his brothers bowing down to him and it came to pass. Joseph’s father took note of Joseph’s dream because he knew the power of vision. The vision of a visioner sustains him. You will not die until you birth your vision. Do you have a vision?
ACTIONPOINT: What is God's vision for your life? Write it out and channel all your resources towards achieving it.
