TOPIC: THE POWER OF SIGHT II
Memorise: By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be
called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Hebrews 11:24
Read: Genesis 13:14-18, Bible in one year: 2nd Samuel
11:1-12:23, Mark 12:28-13:2
The power of spiritual sight is apparent in anyone who has it. Such a
person can see into the future and therefore does not exercise any form of
fear. We can see these attributes manifested in Elisha in 2nd Kings
6:11-18. Elisha’s servant could not see what his master saw, and so he was
afraid of the human army attempting to arrest them; but read what happens in 2nd
Kings 6:17
“And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee,
open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man;
and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire
around about Elisha.”
People often ask me why I don’t go about with police escorts like many
great men of
God do. My answer is simple: it is great men who need human
protection, and if only God would open the eyes of those who are so concerned
about my safety, they would see that those who are with me are more than those
with the enemies who would want to attack me.
What really kept Abraham going in his journey of faith was the power of
what he was seeing. God, in several instances used audiovisual aids to build up
his faith (Genesis 13:14-17, Genesis 15:5-6). What God showed Abraham was so
convincing that he stopped worrying about his state of childlessness until the
child of promise came.
Moses also was endowed with the power of sight; he saw into the future
of the Hebrew while they were still in bondage (Hebrews 11:24-26). He saw that
someday these people would be set free, while their tormentors would be in
agony. He therefore preferred the temporary shame of identifying with the
people of God, to the enjoyment of temporary bliss that would lead to eternal
damnation. This quality qualified Moses to lead the people of God. He who sees
what others can’t see will ultimately lead the rest. I pray that whatever is
blocking your vision will be removed today in Jesus’ Name. A man with the power
of sight will often act reasonably well. For example, after King Nebuchadnezzar
saw a fourth man in the fiery furnace, his perception changed (Daniel 3:23-30).
May the Lord open your eyes to see the pleasant surprises that God has in store
for you, so that you don’t backslide before the time of your divine visitation.
Prayer point: Father, please grant me the grace to remain
committed to my future, and strengthen me to do all that is required of me to
attain the glorious future.
