The vision will speak

Looking at the unseen

 

HABAKKUK 2:1-3

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

 

[2] And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

 

[3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

The Bible admonishes us to have a vision, and to write it clearly.

 

When we write the vision, the vision may take time to come to its manifestation, but we should wait for it to come to pass.

 

The vision has to be clear in order for it to speak at the end.

The vision must be clearly spelt out so that it can be followed up with executable steps, in order for it to become material.

 

You cannot run with a vision if it is not plain and clear.

 

It must set out clear goals and measurable steps.

 

When the vision is clear and written, the reader of it will run with direction and zeal.

Vision is not sight.

 

You can look at an object and not see it.

 

You may not look at an object, but still see it.

 

You do not see with your eyes, then.

 

You see with your mind or heart.

 

Two people can look at the same thing, and see different things.

 

You can be blind, but see while you can see and be blind.

In Proverbs 29:18, the Bible says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

If you do not have a vision of your future, how do you work yourself towards it.

 

If you have no vision to become what you want to become, how can you set yourself up to achieve that?

 

A vision sees the future.

In Hebrews 11:13-14, the Bible depicts that the saints of old, did not physically possess the promise, but they saw the promises when they were afar off and embraced them.

 

It reads thus: “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

 

[14] For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.”

Abraham never looked at what his eyes would see, an old wrinkled woman, many years past the time of life, to have children, but he looked at the Unseen, and he saw Isaac.

By faith he saw Isaac.

 

And he, after looking to the Unseen, he called those things which were not, as though they were.

 

He got a glimpse of the Unseen.

By faith he saw it.

And the Bible says, Abraham endured, as seeing the invisible God with him.

Your vision stabilises you.

 

When you have a goal to achieve, your eyes get fixated to it and all your energies are exerted towards achieving it.

 

Without a vision, you perish.

Your vision draws you to your destination.

 

You cannot go where you do not see.

 

You will bump into many things and be distracted.

In Matthew 6:22-23 Jesus said: “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

 

[23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.

 

If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”

What this means is that if your eyes can focus and see, you save your whole body from hitting against brick walls.

When your mind works well, your body does not get punished by hard work.

 

When you have a vision, that vision will lead and direct your body.

 

If there is no vision, the body will be in darkness; the whole body.

 

But when you have vision, the whole body is enlightened.

When a man once catches the vision inspired by the invisible God, there is something that stabilises that man’s thinking.

 

It stabilises his actions.

 

And in the time of distress and trouble, it will still make him look upward and above the things that are happening around him, because he is looking at the Unseen.

Look at what God said, and see the unseen.

 

Look at what your mortal eyes do not see.

 

You only look with your eyes; you see with your heart.

When you have a clear vision and committed it to God, then that vision is for an appointed season.

It will not delay, though it may appear to be delaying.

 

It will speak by becoming material. It will surely come, it will not tarry.

Wait for it.
