Meditate on: Genesis 1:3
« And God said, Let there be light: and there was light »
Read: Habakkuk 2:1-4CSB
1 I will stand at my guard post, and station myself on the lookout tower.
I will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I should reply about my complaint.
2 The Lord answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it on tablets
so one may easily read it.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late.
4 Look, his ego is inflated; he is without integrity. But the righteous one will live by his faith.
Understand: The first thing God said before creation was « Let there be light» (Genesis 1:3).
Thousands of years later, in John 9:5, Jesus Christ said:
« As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world »
He was and IS the light of the world.
Light gives vision and vision is so important that without it, people will perish (Proverbs 29:18).
How great you will be is determined by what you can see.
In 2 Kings 2:9-15, when Elisha requested a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, the later said he had asked a hard thing, but that if he ‘saw’, he could have it. Elisha saw and he got the mantle.
In Genesis 13:14-18, God told Abraham that all he could see was going to be given to him. Then God advised him not to stay in the place, but to move around so he could see more.
This is why exposure is good. These days, being exposed has become even easier with the internet. You can ‘see’ any part of the world from your phone or computer.
When my father-in-the-Lord was alive and we would have a crowd over one thousand people at our Conventions, I thought that was big. Then I saw hundreds of thousands at Kenneth Hagin’s Camp meeting. I was also at Dr. Yonggi Cho’s church in South Korea and saw that every Sunday; they held seven services and would appeal to those in attendance not to show up next Sunday so those who couldn’t attend that week could attend the next. My prayer point changed! I realized I needed to expand my vision greatly. I did and by God’s Grace, millions of people attend our programs.
Get exposed: through books, internet, travelling or talking to more experience people.
Ensure that you expand your horizon every day.
When God opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant to see the chariots of fire surrounding him and his master, his confidence grew (2 Kings 6).
Vision will also enable you to endure until the end. Hebrews 11:24-27
From today, receive light that will help you overcome all challenges in the mighty name of Jesus.
Application: How big is your vision? Write it down and run with it.
