Beloved,
I pray that God in His infinite mercy and compassion as well as love and great
grace will open your eyes of understanding to see what you have to see either
around you or within you so that you can speedily and effortlessly move to your
next level in Christ Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
The
disciples of Jesus Christ were looking too far for the food resources required
to feed the multitudes. While they
worried about where to source such resources at such a time of the day in the
location they were at; they were unaware that Jesus Who was with them is also
the God Who always multiplies and compounds resources for His own. Unknown to
them, the seemingly little bread and fish available to them where they were; were
more than enough food resources to feed the multitude. The disciples did not
have the revelation of Jesus Christ as the One Who always multiplies and
compounds resources for His own. The left over baskets opened their eyes of
understanding to the immense resources and capacities at their disposal.
Peter
probably understood this well when he had to source for the tax money from the
mouth of a fish and not from anyone. It was from his regular trade and
significantly from the mouth of a fish. He did not even have to take the
trouble of looking for a buyer for caught fish. The money he required was
patiently waiting for him in the mouth of a fish. All he had to do was catch the
fish - make the effort to go where the fish was and get it out.
The
four lepers who attempted to surrender to the Syrian army who besieged Samaria
is a classic example of people who knew where to go seek the resources they
were after. What they wanted was just around them and rather than starve to
death, they chose the option of surrendering to the Syrian army. Fortunately for
the lepers, the army of Syria had fled the scene of occupation and were no
longer a threat to both the people of Samaria and the lepers. Rather, their bountiful supplies which were targeted
for a long siege were now the property of the people of Samaria and the four
lepers.
In
obedience to God, Abraham took Isaac to be sacrificed. Just when he was about
to sacrifice Isaac, God opened his eyes to see the ram which was divinely
positioned for the sacrifice. Abraham’s obedience occasioned the divine opening
of his eyes to the divinely provided and strategically positioned ram for the
sacrifice.
Laban
though he had outsmarted Jacob but unknown to Laban, Jacob was not one to
engage in pity parties. Rather, he always looked up to God for help. Therefore,
when Laban removed all the spotted and colored livestock from the flock in
order to hinder Jacob from raising his own flock, Jacob chose to look within
and around. In the process, he was able to raise a very strong and large flock
for himself. You can also do same.
Beloved,
what do you urgently require that appears to be hanging in the stratosphere but
which actually is within you or around you patiently waiting for you to see it
and utilize for whatever purpose you want to in order to achieve divine
purpose? God is faithful. He will definitely meet you at your point of need if
only you will look up to Him first for direction and instruction on how to
access that which is just within you or around you.
