What do you see?

“…we saw the giants, the sons of Anak…and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers…” Num 13:33 KJV [italics & emphasis mine]

“where we stand determines what we see” goes the old-adage, and what we see determines our choice of action and consequently destiny. A convicted killer responding to a journalist as to why he killed said that people hated, be-little and despised him. While this answer may have come from a complex psychological paradox of the human mind, the bottom line is, he acted based on what he saw in his mind-and so do we all the time.

WHAT DO YOU SEE? WHERE DO YOU STAND when you see what you see? The stubborn Hebrews in the text above chose to stand in the natural and allowed the natural to determine their belief and hence their action [needless to say thousands died on that day]. If we are to overcome our life challenges, we need to see ourselves the way God sees us-no less no more; and God sees as “…chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people…” [1 Pet 2:9 NKJV]

some things are possible, if we believe!

“…if you can believe, ALL THINGS are possible to whom who believes…” Mark 9:23 NKJV [italics & emphasis mine]

Some of us have paraphrased the above scripture to read “…if you can believe, within reason (i.e. being practical), then it is possible that God will do it…” We only believe God in things that are humanly possible for instance we don’t have a problem believing God for miracle of health when it is malaria involved, but when it comes to Cancer? AIDS? we back down…

The reason is our faith has never grown beyond what was necessary to receive salvation. We know how to get faith “…faith cometh by hearing” [Rom 10:17 KJV], but we don’t know how to release it. Faith is released by WORD of OUR MOUTH; we used this principle when we got saved. We believed in our heart AND CONFESSED with OUR MOUTH [Rom 10:8-10]. Possibility for you-as believer-is determined by your CAPACITY to receive the word of God, believe it in your heart AND speak/confess it with your mouth (faith filled words) “…the tongue has power of life and death…” [Prov 18:21 NIV].

Lord Teaches us to Profit

“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel : “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go…” Isa 48:17 AMP

If we learn from the lessons that God sends our way all around us everyday, we will become more and more profitable in everything we do. This includes our career, marriage, finance…everything. Oh if we could really believe that God is teaching us so that we may prosper, we will take our lessons seriously and learn them heartily.

Our trouble is, we think of God as a ‘mean’ dictatorial heavenly super-power being who just wants to impose his way, will and plan on us. When we hear of him as a father, we think of him as our earthly father and in so doing we measure him short. All God wants to do is to partner with us, teach us so that we may gain profit and in so doing build His kingdom.

Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord

“…do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.…” Rom 12:19 NIV

Recently I was driving at night from a conference (full of anointing :-) when a driver behind me sprung his full light on and off and then on; he was signalling me to let him pass. I was on the middle lane of a three-lane motorway, I thought surely he can pass on the right, so I kept my speed and ‘my lane’ and he kept his full light on. After 2-3 mins I was furious, I moved to the left lane to let him pass then moved back into the middle lane right behind him and shot my full beam at him…I was determined to let him taste his own medicine…does this sound familiar? may be its just me!

Our natural instincts as human beings is to hit back, tit for tat; but the LORD says, let me handle them that hit you—vengeance is mine, I will get them for you and when I do, I will recompense you at the same time. But sometimes it feels like the Lord is taking too long to ‘get them’ that hurt us and we take matters into our own hands and in so doing we play God…how dangerous! Let God sort them out, your part is to take the matter into God’s hands and for God’s sake ‘leave it there’.
