Putting Things Into Godly Perspective

Progressive Vision to a Born Again Believer is imperative – your focus should be sharp and clear – how you perceive things around you requires skilful consideration in its application to your decision making especially when facing opposition. You will either look at your problem from inside of God or look at God from within your problem… you thus magnify God and minimise your problem or you magnify your problem and minimise God. Your perspective will determine your decision process and your decisions will determine your destiny.

Remember, it is written “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”1
God created places before He created people! He didn’t create man and wonder where He was going to put him. No! God created earth and the universe for His man. He created everything man would need before he needed it. “The footsteps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord”.2

Your perspective in problem solving, in overcoming obstacles and opposition should always be in the knowledge that Jesus your forerunner has prepared your way through commanded blessing on the other side, providing everything you need to go on victoriously. Never forget GOD HAS ALREADY BEEN IN ALL YOUR TOMORROWS! Jesus is the beginning and the end, the Alpha the Omega, He’s gone ahead of you to assure that everything will work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.3 He’s ahead of you even in death… “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”.4 Blessed be God forever! Awesome God – Praise Him!

Let’s Pray:
Father, You know everything about me, You know where I’ve been and where I’m going. Father, I don’t want to be ashamed of what my life has achieved nor what I have become. Please Father, deliver me from self preoccupation and self pity releasing me into Your perspective and filling me with Your love and fire to press on in Your will for my life. Thanks for changing me, my perspective, my expectations, dreams and attitudes so I don’t just get by and survive but so I can see so clearly that I can run my race of faith and win in Jesus’ Name. Holy Spirit, You’ve been faithfully with me all the time, please forgive my indifference to Your directives and leadings… I’m opening my heart to You now; please enable me to do and to will the walk of faith and obedience that pleases the Father’s heart. I love You so much Father…thanks for loving me and being so patient. With Your help I’ll make it. Hey! I’m going to make it in Jesus’ Name. Yes! Amen.

Blessed are those who Overcome.
