READ: 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18
“While we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).
It is possible to see the unseen, invisible things. Hebrews 11:27 says while Moses was faced with the anger of Pharaoh, he was unmoved because of what he was seeing – the invisible God. He waded through fear and very dangerous terrains by focusing his gaze on the Lord. What do you see in the midst of your trials and dangerous circumstances? If your focus is on the problem, like Peter, you will sink and be swallowed up by the problem. What you continuously gaze at will become magnified until it fills your vision. If you doubt it, try and focus your eyes on one thing for a period of time without being distracted. A time will come when everything in the background will disappear and be replaced by what you are gazing at. Fix your gaze on Jesus and as He is magnified in that situation, He will absorb the problem and you will be free.
Proverbs 29:18 says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he”. Those who cannot see the invisible cannot go far. Do you limit yourself to the physical things in your present circumstances? That will hinder you from going forward. As a minister of God, if you cannot see yourself ministering to millions of people or achieving great feats for God’s kingdom, you may not move from your present position. Some people spend all their lives in a daily routine – waking up, eating, going to work, returning home, eating and sleeping. Nothing more. It is because they cannot see the invisible. The more invisible things you see, the more you desire to have them. Do you know that God wants to show you your future? He wants to guide you regarding the structure and details of the church building or personal project you are embarking on. He wants to guide you on your next assignment, contract, job, business or the next house to rent. He wants to show you your babies before they come. He wants to show you how He sees you presently. He wants to show you your heavenly rewards, crowns and mansion. He wants to reveal Himself to you on a level you have never known. But do you find time to be in His presence to receive them?

MEMORIZE: 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 –While we look not at the
things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things
which are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
