WHAT CAN YOU SEE ???

WHAT CAN YOU SEE??? 

                     

Most times, what you imagine is different from what you see around you. Abraham got riches and honor from the Lord and was happy that Lot was with him. He had a different thing in mind. Only suddenly to find out one day that his men and Lot’s men were striving with one another. He was depressed and disappointed over the whole issue, Lot ended up departing from him but within him, he would have preferred Lot to stay. In Genesis 13:15 the Lord came to Abraham and said, ”What can you see? I have given you as far as you can see”      

                Sometimes, in this journey of life, you think big. Every time you imagine yourself being big and great; the things around you can never make it work. The people you communicate with, see as your mentors, what you hear from them; depresses and kills your morale. Nobody around you reasons the way you do and at this point, it is difficult for them to either encourage or guide you. There is something in you that keeps telling you that things you’re imagining can’t work, God has an answer for it. All you need do at this point in time is to stop listening to people that will give you one hundred and one reasons why that thing cannot succeed, but listen to the spirit within you telling you that it is possible. For the fact that others failed doing what you want to do; does not mean you cannot succeed. For instance, there is a tribe in Nigeria that believes that when a man made it through a profession, others will want their children to go through the same process, which may end up taking them out of their destinies making them become vagabonds in another man’s vineyard.

               If you are into a profession that you derive joy, think about developing it. It is worth doing. Things you do not delight in cannot make ends meet. Improve in what you delight in and do not be discouraged. This is where you need God to see you through. He knows and cannot deceive you. Make Him your number one vision partner. He will carry and see you through.

               Job was in trouble and his friends came to him. Instead of encouraging him, the words coming out of their mouths was killing Job more than what he was facing. Job concluded in calling them miserable comforters. May you not find yourself in Job’s trouble.
