And He caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him: Do you possibly see anything? And he looked up and said, I see people, but (they look) like trees, walking. Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently (fixed his eyes on definate objects), and he was restored and saw everything distinctly (even what was at a distance) (Mark 8: 23-25).
The Lord called Jeremiah (1: 4-14) and then asked him a question that He is asking each of us today: “What do you see?” Do you have what may be called “spiritual cataracts”; the inability to see what God has called you to do. If you have made up your mind on what you want to do, before you come to the Lord and ask Him to “show me the way” you can be rest assured you will not see anything.
Beloved, God never calls a meeting for entertainment. There are lots of entertainment churuches around for those who want to be entertained. Even if the whole world is aimless and purposeless, God has a purpose for everything. God believes in man so much that He invested His Son into it. And by so doing, He expects returns from man. Have you seen the personal vision God has for you? Do you know your purpose in life?
If you don’t know the vision of God for your life, then you will not be able to plan. God does not experiment. He knows what He is doing. The earlier you find out what He wants you to do and begin to do it, the better. God is called the Alpha and the Omega because before He starts a thing, He has completed it. God never starts a thing without finishing it. God was determined that Jesus was to be born and that He would die to redeem man. All these were clear in His mind before He started to look for Mary who would deliver the child. Why did God conceive you? Close your eyes and pray to the Lord, “Open my eyes to Your purpose for my life, in the name of Jesus.”
Those without vision are ones who see men looking like trees. They critize others concerning sins which they themselves commit. They do not know whether what they are hearing is from God or the devil. There are many of them in the churches agitating for church posts. For those who do KNOW what they have seen, all discouragement and failures on the way become nothing but fertilizers for the sown seeds of vision to grow and break forth into kingdom harvest. Have you seen what God has shown you?
