Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians Chapter 1 verses 15 to 23.
You should open your eyes – to see the huge opportunities God put at your disposal; to see the great possibilities God blessed you with; to tap into the greatness which God blessed you with from the foundation of the world; to take advantage of the myriad blessings of God in your life.
Additionally, so that you will see
wondrous things from the law, visions, revelations of glory from the word of
God. Please read Psalm 119 verse 18. It is significant and instructive that the
Psalmist prayed that God should turn his eyes from looking at worthless things
- things that would not add value to his mental processes, would not give him
knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Please read Psalm 119 verse 37. He asked
for revival, revival comes from consistently looking at the word of God and in the process, a person gets fresh
insight from the word of God to see possibilities. Perhaps that explains why
Job made a covenant with his eyes – Job Chapter 31 verse 1.
To open your eyes may not
necessarily mean the physical opening of your eyes though that may be necessary
if your eyes were closed on account of sleep or any other reason. It simply
means that you school yourself to see beyond the ordinary, to be perceptive, to
understand the import of what you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you taste,
what you feel; to take advantage of privileged information at your disposal
which God in His infinite mercy gave you in advance of other people so that you
can quickly deploy such information for profit.
Elisha’s servant was not physically
blind. That explains why he saw the horde of the Syrian army who surrounded
them. Naturally, he was afraid and cried out to his master Elisha. But Elisha
who could see beyond the ordinary because God had opened his spiritual eyes of
understanding to see the great army of God around them counseled the young man
not to be afraid. Elisha further prayed for the young man’s eyes to be opened.
The Bible records that God answered immediately and opened the eyes of the
young man to see God’s horses and chariots of fire that also surrounded them
and shielded them from the horde of the Syrian army. Please read 2nd
Kings Chapter 6 verses 8 to 17, Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 4 to 13, Proverbs
Chapter 18 verse 10, Psalms 121, 124, 125 verses 1 to 3 and 91.
Are you in need of economic
resources, divine protection and security? Ask God to open your eyes of
understanding so that you can see the huge potentials and blessings of God at
your disposal. Open your eyes; look around; look north, south, east and west;
and take note of everything you see, Please read Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14
to 17.
Look beyond your present location – is there adjoining land you can take possession of to add to your present location so that you have the kind of space you are looking for even if it will cost you time and other resources? You need to get out of your comfort zone to the forest, the mountains, the war zones to take over possessions from the enemy, not necessarily physical persons but the hordes of hell holding on to your possessions because you have not placed a demand on them.
Look with your spiritual eyes, think
deeply and strategically. There is so much land to take over from the enemy and
so easily because it is your possession, your birthright given to you from the
foundation of the world by God. Arise and take what belongs to you, not by
might nor by power but by the Spirit of God.
May God help you and answer you
speedily in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
