Vision




Hi everyone, I hope you have been fine. time indeed just flies. We have approached the third quarter of the year and just like me, you are reviewing your list of resolutions for the year, to evaluate your accomplishments so far. It was just the other day I made the last post and have also been looking forward to this moment to join you again. The title of the blog is clearly a question that this blog attempts to answer. This blog tries to bring the word down to us, our current outlook on life, prophesy, and especially the word and how we ought to lead our lives despite the waves of life. In answering this question, It is my prayer for all that the word finds root in us. There is only one teacher, one master that instructs us all. We will taste him and see His goodness, mercies and love as explained in His word and testified by all creation. Its my prayer that many will find their way to the light in doing this.

Back to resolutions
As the end of this month came, I would ask myself this question. How far have I gone with the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year? What did I expect when I made these resolutions? The very question may be ringing in your mind. Some may be asking, am I a better person than who I think I was last year? I think the more important question is this, Why am I still here? What would God have me do? Is it still possible for me to live for God and not for my own self? It is God’s will that you are reading along with me and yes, He does have a purpose. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are you at a loss as regards to what to do? Is it hard to find a way back home? How many times have you cried? Do you feel like you have been through fire?

Getting tedious?
We need a spring in our steps to break the cycle of getting beat up, feeling left out and so forth. The same measure that you give out to people is the same you get. Something wonderful happens when one shares with others in the word. All we need to know is that God is seated on the throne with lots of glory in which believers share. If you share your faith, people will make fun of you, turn their back on you, run away from you. If you are living godly, you will suffer persecution. People of the world will despise you and throw parties when you die. Speak boldly and care enough to speak truth and hold back nothing. If you are sharing about Christ, you will be beat up, emotionally, physically, verbally, ostracised, not invited to the party. If your Christianity is getting a little tedious, what you need to do is witness. There is nothing like sharing your faith. No matter how deep in the gutter, you will be revived, caught up in heavenly places, you will find yourself encouraged greatly. If you want to be caught up, then its not about what you are understanding, its about sharing with others. Otherwise you will stagnate, and statistically, we already know what happens afterwards. God knows that even though it may be dangerous, if you share, there will be revival . It’s  my prayer for you all that we might be about loving, truly caring. Ask God to empower you to take advantage of the blessings He have already given you and see others rise up with you Him.

Vision of God.
This is the reality. God exists and the Cherubim are around His throne. They are amazing creatures, each with four faces; one of a man, a lion, ox and eagle, with eyes all over and six wings. Ezekiel 1. These Cherubim do not rest  but say, Holy Holy Holy, they are super intelligent creatures with many eyes. The more you see, the more vision you have been given. Their eyes, have finally found One who is truly Holy, who was, and is and is yet to come. What they see we can’t, all they say is an infinite Holy. There is nothing as beautiful as holiness. Holiness brings satisfaction. Its holiness that causes true ecstasy. They just can’t take their eyes off Him. The beasts give glory and honour and so do the 24 elders who take their crowns off and worship Him.. These amazing creatures keep in mind, may look unreal in this unreal world. When we get there, we are going to see them. In this world, the more you see, the more disillusioned you become. Earth is a shadow. The reality, the substance is in heaven. These 4 faces correspond to the gospels.These Four Faces appear again only in Revelation 4, where they signify the dominant aspect of the character of Christ revealed in each of the Four Gospels in their proper canonical order.
How God views the Believers
God declares in Numbers 1 that  around the Tabernacle on the north, south, east and west sides, right around the tabernacle were to be encamped the Levites. The priests came from the tribe of Levi. Whenever you serve God, you tend to be camped out to His glory. And when you serve self, you get emptier. On each side were to have 3 tribes, on the east side is the camp of Judah who had the symbol of a Lion. Christ will come back from the east. It had 186400. On the west side was the camp of Ephraim with 108000 with the Ox as the symbol. On the camp on the south was Reuben 151400 and the symbol has always been the symbol of a man’s face. On the North was the Camp of Dan whose symbol was an eagle. 157600. If you draw that accurately on a piece of paper, you will see it form a cross. When Baalam was hired to curse the Israelites by Balak, he went ahead to curse them even after the donkey spoke, because he knew the Israelites were sinful. He goes to a high mountain to look down on the encampments. The encampment from what he saw looked like a cross but all that came out was a blessing. When God looks down at us, He sees the cross. When we are here, we murmur, fail to do what we should, and we have all kinds of faults and failures. All He desires to is bless His people who are hidden in the cross. Even as Baalam who wanted to curse them for all their sin, he saw the people in light of the cross. He could not help but bless them. Not one person can bring any curse upon whom God sees His son’s righteousness. God sees His people covered by the Lamb’s blood and that’s amazing. No matter what the people of the world see in you, this is How God sees you from His throne.

God is light
God says, forget it, I have forgotten it. You have overcome by the blood. God will keep blessing you by the testimony of unmerited, unearned, undeserved grace. The command of God is this, He has given you everything on the earth. And God saw that it was good. He gave it all. Avocados, pineapples, mangoes, right from the beginning! He wants you to have a good things. He has given us all things freely! He didn’t give you pills to swallow every now and then.  If you guys are evil, yet you know how to give your children gifts, how much more would  your father? He holds back nothing that is good for you from you. We are the light of the world. He is the sun and we are the moon
The Full Moon.
During a clear night time sky, it is possible to see the stars and the moon. The moon is the guardian of the night and can be seen from the earth as full, half, quarter, or new moon depending on the amount of light that the moon reflects on the earth. A man who lets his lights shine is like a full moon. The more the earth’s shadow covers the moon, the less light it emits. During an eclipse, the world diminishes the light of the moon. The more the moon moves towards the world, the more diminished it’s light shall be. How full is your moon?
Time budget.
The accuser of the brethren who has been overcome through grace continues to condemn the believer so as to take him away from God. His voice tells you,” that the prayer will not be answered”, “why go to church?”Things that push you away from God. Do not beat yourself up or let the devil do it. The devil has always tried to prevent the coming of the Messiah but already failed and will continue to do so even after all other attempts failed.  The slanderer knoweth that  hath but a little time and spends it to deceive millions of people. When Christ returns the devil’s reign will come to an end.How much more should we all spread the gospel to the poor, just as the Son did. God rested on the 7th day.  Life is precious, parents are precious. Renew your relationships rejoice, you need the Sabbath. Men fail because they are tired, people get to get emotionally collapsed because of this. Devote that special day to Him. Stay healthy and keep your body fit, and may God bless you.
