SEE BEYOND THE ORDINARY


‘For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he’. – Proverbs 26:7


LIGHT FOR NOW: Your thoughts are creative platform for you to see beyond the ordinary.


A man with a vision is a man with a dream. Vision is the mental picture of the future. Destiny can never be fulfilled outside vision. The size of a man’s vision determines the size of his life and destiny.

Without vision, life cannot be well defined. Vision is the compass that directs you to your destination. It is not possible to experience in reality what is not available in your mentality. If it does not cross your mind, it cannot cross your life. You cannot be blessed outside what God reveals. It is what you see that guarantees your end. It is your vision that empowers you for a life of maximum impact. What you see determines your pursuit in life and your pursuits determine your achievements in life. How far you go in life is determined by how far you can see.


Time and again God has always demanded from man to see beyond his environment into the future. When Abraham’s Nephew, Lot, left him,“And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up 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 for ever” (Genesis 13:14-15). In chapter 15 verse 5 of Genesis, instead of God giving Abraham a son as He had promised, the Bible says, “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.” This is a clear indication that God is not only interested in blessing you, but He wants you to have a better vision of His availability, and abilities and also His boundless powers to make available for you what He has promised. God also asked Jeremiah, “what seest thou? 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.” It is the vision you have that brings God into action in your life.
Vision guarantees safety but lack of it is destruction (Proverbs 29:18). Your visual capacity determines your usefulness in life.   What occupies your heart determines what is attracted to your life. What a man sees determines what God gives. Vision is the fuel for speed in life. Get vision for it is needful to your arrival in destiny.


INSTRUCTION: Write the vision down.


PRAYER: Lord, enlarge my positive thinking capacity, in Jesus name!


QUOTE: Until you begin to see beyond the ordinary, you cannot be extraordinary in life.
