SCRIPTURE: 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.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot leave where you are until you see beyond where you are.
From our anchor Scripture, we see that God told Abraham to lift up his eyes, and that all the land he could see would be given to him as his possession.
Now, I want you to take note of one key thought from the passage:
You cannot leave where you are until you see beyond where you are.
It is not possible to leave where you are at the moment until you can see beyond where you are.
This means, in specific terms:
You cannot leave your current spiritual condition until you see beyond your current spiritual condition.
You cannot leave your current financial situation until you see beyond your current financial situation.
You cannot leave your current career, academic or ministerial situation until you see beyond them.
Many years ago, in one of our church services, I said that I would like to pray for everyone who was up to 35 years of age to get married.
I also told them to write on a piece of paper the date they would like to do their wedding.
And some of the people of marriageable age in church that day who obeyed this instruction were not even in any courtship at the time.
Following the instruction, a particular young man wrote his proposed wedding date on a piece of paper, and by this time, he had only 5,000 Naira in his account. Nevertheless, his wedding came to pass on that same date. He got married and was given the gift of a car with so much money. He came to testify in church.
That was the power of vision!
Beloved, always know that you cannot leave where you are until you see beyond where you are.
Remember this: You cannot leave where you are until you see beyond where you are.
