AS FAR AS YOUR EYES CAN SEE
Read: GENESIS 13:14-17
Meditation verse:
“All the land that you see, I will give to you and your off spring forever” (Genesis
13:15)
Everything in life is created twice. First in the mind and then in reality. Your mind sees it and your body takes you there. The brain is a pattern matching organ, what it visualizes, it wills the body to accomplish. There is a deep tendency to become what your mind pictures, provided you hold the mental picture strongly enough and the objective is sound. Visualization breeds expectation. And when you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which attracts the best to you. Visualization enables you to focus on a future realization. This expectation supplies fuel to the body. Sustained expectation of the best sets in motion forces which cause the best to materialize.
There is a connection between your mind and the outcomes you get out of life. You conceive in the womb of your destiny and birth whatever you focus on. When God was leading the children of Israel to the promised land, He repeatedly told them that the land was beautiful and good, flowing with milk and honey. He wanted them to create a mental image of the place. In Genesis 13:14-17, God said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever”.
You can visualize yourself navigating that present difficulty. You can visualize yourself succeeding in that business. You can visualize yourself overcoming that obstacle. You can visualize yourself pushing the boundaries of your limitations and going beyond expectations. You can visualize just about anything. Visualization can work against you also. If you visualize negative trends, the brain goes in search of such occurrence and brings them to your reality. It is called self- fulfilling prophecy. Never forget, the brain is a pattern matching organ. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7)
IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
