Lift your eyes from where you are

Genesis 13: 14. 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.

God commanded Abraham to raise his eyes and survey the land in all directions. He promised to bestow upon Abraham all the land he could see. A great vision is a catalyst for great achievements, while a limited vision leads to meagre accomplishments. To achieve greatly, one must adopt a vision that surpasses their current capabilities. A great vision serves as a driving force, reminding one that their potential has not yet peaked. It illuminates the numerous opportunities that lie ahead and underscores the work that is yet to be undertaken in the service of God.

God will broaden your comprehension of your abilities in Christ and strengthen your faith, demonstrating that you can surpass your current achievements. The boundless power of God dwells within you, allowing you to break free from limitations and stagnation. Recognizing that there is still much to be accomplished will prevent complacency. Always look upward, towards God and those who have achieved more than you, never downward. Those who look down will falter, while those who look up will soar. The more you turn your gaze towards God, the more you will uncover uncharted territory and untapped potential.

God calls upon us to seek His guidance so that He may plant within us the seeds of extraordinary, unrealized accomplishments. Those who follow God should never be content with their current achievements. What they have accomplished thus far pales in comparison to what lies ahead. The Spirit of God within will not allow complacency. It will continue to spur you to reach beyond your current limits because you are far greater than you can fathom. You possess an unparalleled strength that transcends the perceptions of your physical eyes and mind.

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...
