What you see, the mental picture you paint concerning your future, will set the pace for what you experience. That is why God said to Abraham: “And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever (Genesis 13:14-15).”
He had to see the land to possess it. We are all Abraham’s children by the covenant, and if Abraham had to see, so do we. Mind you, seeing here does not mean physical sight but seeing with the eyes of your understanding or perceiving with your mind. What you see of your future, your expectation, is what is known as a dream. It is unfortunate that this dimension of vision is presently being ignored in the body of Christ, yet it is of tremendous significance to the believer, if he must make maximum impact in his generation.
Dreams are so powerful that in Genesis chapter eleven, when the sons of men were building the tower of Babel, God had to come down to see that remarkable work of their imagination. As a result of the picture they had in their minds, God knew that they could not be stopped: “And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do (Genesis 11:6).”
So, what do you see in your future? It is your picture that determines your future! What do you see ahead of you? It is important at this juncture to distinguish between a vision and a dream. Whereas a vision tells you where you belong, a dream determines its existence. For instance, God has called someone to preach, but all he sees is a church of 500. In spite of the great vision he has, he will never have more than 500 members. Why? Because there is a law in place that says, it is as far as your eyes can see that shall be given to you.
HALELUJAH, GOD IS LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, GRACIOUS AND YOU’LL ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAM.
