Lifting your eyes

Gen 13:14-15: "And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever."


We must look in the direction of the word of God before we can see things that God is planning to give us. The plans and purpose of God for our lives are all written in the scriptures and finding them for God to be able to give them to us is our responsibility. If you don't look or do not look in the direction that God wants you to look, you wouldn't be able to see His purpose for your life which He wants to accomplish through you. Everyone must continually search the scriptures before we will see things that God has given to us and it is what we have seen that God will deliver into our hands. The supernatural involvement and glorious manifestation of God in our lives are dependent first on our works of faith. If we don't make personal efforts to see things that are greater and better than what we have seen and done by God, God will not show them to us and He will not give them to us. Lifting our eyes to see these greater and deeper things from God is a lifetime pursuit for everyone that wants to continuously experience the manifestation of the glory of God in his life. It's God alone that can show us His great plans for our lives and no human can reveal this truth to us. So, we need to turn to God's side daily to be able to see them and believe God to give them to us. What is the object of your focus? Are you looking at the word of God or you are looking at something or someone else? It is how far you can give your attention to the words of God that you will be able to see the plans of God for your life and it's in the measure or size that you have seen them that God will give them to you.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
