What Do You See?

Christians don't realise that how they see and interpret the Word of God is how they would see and interpret the plan of God for their lives.

The Word is a reflection of your reality

What you believe is the picture of the life you will build in the material world

What we believe is a mirror of what we will become and who we will become

If you believe the word of God does not come to pass immediately in the scriptures, then the word of God will not come to pass immediately in your life.

If you believe you have to suffer and languish and face battle before you can get to the promised land, that is how you will also construct the reality of your life

If you believe suffering is necessary before you get to fulfil destiny, that is how you will imagine your reality and live it out

It will always be unto you according to your faith

The cheat code to success by the Spirit is to see reality as God sees it and to construct or frame your reality by the Word of God's power

If you follow the flawed precedence of men, you will fail many times, and yet you may never make it

A word of prophecy that requires you to just act, will lead to you praying more out of some conviction that unless you pray until your lips bleed, you cannot get an answer to your prayers

There is a pastor

He is the prayer coordinator for the whole of a mission.

He was a sickle cell warrior who was healed supernaturally, but he still has a frail outlook and has very little weight

Another minister in the mission who was not a sickle cell warrior admired him so much that he starved himself of food for several days in a week in the name of fasting.

One day, we were at a prayer meeting, and this minister said to me.

Look at our national prayer coordinator

That is my model

I looked at him, and he looked almost like an identical twin of the prayer coordinator

But what he had copied in looks was a lie

The national coordinator was a very wealthy man who traveled the globe annually to minister to the saints

His children were attending the best schools in the world, while this deacon was suffering as a result of fasting, which deprived him of the energy to work.

He had believed in a man and worked hard to make himself look like him, but he lacked the depth of the same man

It was a superficial transformation, and it put him at a great disadvantage

You read the Bible and focus on suffering.

Your theology was that Job suffered, David suffered, Paul suffered, Jesus suffered, and Peter suffered

It is only logical that you will suffer too

You have embraced a fellowship of suffering

You read the Bible and focus on delay

Your belief is that Joseph was delayed, Jacob was delayed, Gideon was delayed, Jephthah was delayed, and Paul was delayed

It is only logical that you will be delayed too

You have embraced the fellowship of delay

You read your Bible, and all you see is poverty

Blessed are the poor

It is difficult for the rich to pass through the eye of the needle

Lazarus, the poor man, made it to paradise while the rich man went to Hades

It is only logical that you will be poor too

You have embraced a fellowship of poverty

If you read your Bible and somehow convince yourself that God's word is subject to life issues and struggles

No cross, no glory gang is your conviction, even after the Bible made it clear that only the messiah must suffer and we are to enjoy the glories to follow, 1 Peter 1:11

Then it is only logical that you will struggle in life

Welcome to the Fellowship of Struggle

It will be unto you according to your faith, your convictions, your persuasions, and your projected reality

You cannot embrace good if it came to you outside of the picture of reality that you have drawn within your heart
