TODAY'S RHEMA
Genesis 13:14b-15 "Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever."
God again revealed His promises to Abraham while he was at the Canaan Land. It was when Abraham was asked to look around, God revealed vision and dream to him. Abraham then believed in God. Even though Abraham lived like a stranger for quite sometimes in Canaan Land, never for once he forgot what he saw. For a long time, Abraham didn't see the vision God had shown him coming true but he didn't waver. He was pregnant with the vision. He never regarded Canaan as a foreign land but as nation belong to him and his descendants. As we all know that through the vision conceived by Abraham in his spirit, God gave the land of milk and honey to the Israelites.
Our ability to see by faith would so much determine whether or not our dream and vision will come true; therefore it is very important for us to have a vivid and clear vision and dream. The detail of vision we have in our mind, the better for our future because vision connects the present and the future; connecting us to the plan God has in mind for us. We have to understand, though, that our impetuosity most often hindering us from actualizing our vision. We easily give up when our dreams not yet to come true.
It is true that to have a dream is not enough but we also have to stand firm on that. We have to live in the vision, run through any obstacles, and stand firm in the vision no matter what happened. Keep praying and press through from time to time until the power of God manifested and breakthrough takes place in our life.
REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, those who experience great things in their lives are those who live in their visions and dreams.
