Having received a direct confirmation of his calling as a prophet, the young man of God Prophet Jeremiah was asked a question of positioning by the Almighty God – “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou?” Jeremiah 1:11. What you see affects where you stay, it defines what you get in life.
If you see life wrongly you automatically live it the wrong way, thus your getting the wrong result is inevitable. If this question is of no importance to God, Jeremiah and his destiny, God would not have asked him. Basically, there are two reasons why God ask his people questions.
1. To view your understanding of the subject (i.e Your perception)
2. To establish the truth concerning the subject matter.
Insight reveals that Jeremiah’s answer to this question relayed his destiny because what he saw defined what he got. “And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:11b-12.
If he had not seen what God is seeing, he wouldn’t have enjoyed the quick performance of the word / prophecy. Jeremiah saw in the direction of God and he enjoyed divine backing & performance. What you see affects what you think and how you live; Fine! The world is faced with economic depression, increase in poverty level, scarcity, unemployment, frustration, regression, deployment, family break off etc.
The question however is even in the midst of all these, what seest thou? One major reason why many peoples life can never experience joy is because all they can see is evil, whatever you keep seeing, will keep happening either within or without. Until you take personal responsibility to choose what you see, your life can never be better.
Everyone that sees in the direction of God always enjoy divine benefits and command results. “And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” 2 Kings 7:15-17.
The life, experience & condition of the servant of the man of God was transformed when what he saw changed through the prayer of the prophet. When he saw in the direction of the problem all he was left with was depression. Even in the midst of problem & challenges the prophet Elisha refused to see problem, he choose to see in the direction of God and all he enjoyed was divine backing. Stop seeing what is happening, start seeing what you want to experience, you have a choice to what you see.
The almighty has packaged everyone with the outer eyes and the inner eyes (The Eyes of the Spirit). Stop complaining , take personal responsibility from today to start seeing success in the place of failure, abundance in the place of scarcity, gain in the place of pain, divine health in the place of sickness, progress in the place of regression. While everyone was seeing goliath in battle, the young man
David because he has trained himself to see in the direction of God failed to see him as goliath but rather as an uncircumcised philistine and every uncircumcision is a defeated person as far as the kingdom is concerned.
“Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.” 1 Samuel 17:36 It takes a heart filled with the word of God to see in the direction of God, stop saying what the world is showing you, start saying and seeing what the Word of God says; develop the mind set of God’s word and start seeing through the eyes of the Spirit.
There is no greater machinery for recreating a world of possibilities and abundance, flourishing in all areas as you desire outside the raw material that was used in creating the world at first - THE WORD.
“ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” John 1:1-3. Get settled with God’s word in a new dimension from today and start seeing in his direction then you shall begin to see right which will propel the quick performance of the word.
I see you enjoying abundance regardless of scarcity, I see you excelling notwithstanding pressure, I see you making it high economic regression or not, your destiny shall manifest in the name of Jesus.
What seest thou? What you see, you get…
