Title: Sent to open eyes.

“But rise, and stand on your feet: for I have appeared to you for this purpose,

 to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you  have seen,

 and of those things which I will yet reveal to you.  I will deliver you from the Jewish people, 

as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, 

and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, 

and inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith  in Me.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭26:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.



The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ or the too good to be true news of salvation through Jesus Christ. 

It is sent to open eyes, these are spiritual eyes.


Point of Reflection:

To open eyes to see what?

As one receives the good news of Jesus Christ, their spiritual eyes are opened to see the goodness of God.

 To see the love of God and to see the mercies of God. 

To see the value of eternal life and to see the life of God. 

To see darkness of satan and and turn away from it. 

To appreciate the light of God.

 To see the prison that satan subjects people to and get out of it.

 To see the bondage that satan subjects people to and the liberty and true freedom given by Jesus Christ.

 To see the power of satan for what it is and see the power of God for what it is.

The opening of spiritual eyes is also called to receive revelation about things of God.

Most times people profess to be atheists, unbelievers etc- 

what is the problem- lack of sight, lack of revelation and darkened minds.

We have all been there, Saul of Tarsus was there too,

He was changed in a split second on the road to Damascus.

The irony is that he received spiritual sight but became physically blind for three days, wow.
 

The author have been there too. 


John Wesley was there too.

Billy Graham was there as well.

Every single man of God in all history knows how terrible and devastating spiritual blindness can be.

It is amazing how God can hide a sky-scrapper right in the middle of the road.

You won't see it unless your eyes are opened.


Opening of eyes takes humility and seeking.

His word says you will seek for me and find me when you seek for me with all your heart.(Jeremiah 29:13).


Do you desire to have your spiritual  eyes opened?


When you are ready-

Prayer for revelation:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to bring us

 the too good to be true news of redemption through His name. 

Today I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ and

 I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

 I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. 

I reject, denounce and renounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons and

 I command them in the name of Jesus Christ to let me go and serve God.

 I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me 

with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you Father for opening my eyes to see and for delivering me from darkness to light, 

from the power of satan to the power of God. 

Thank you for forgiveness of sin and for

 inheritance among those who are sanctified

by faith in Jesus Christ.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

As you have prayed sincerely from your heart, Almighty God,

 the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has heard you.

You are now a born again child of God, an adopted member of God's own household.

 You have been granted righteousness and right standing with God.

Year in Focus: 

With best wishes for the Year 2024, the year in which the Lord God is visiting His restless ones with an anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage of the enemy. 

There is a big financial dimension to the victory for the restless ones in 2024. The yoke of poverty and financial struggles is being broken. 

a) Things you need to know: 

The year in which the restless ones rise up with the zeal of Almighty God to cause the spreading of the cities of Almighty God through prosperity. 

Almighty God says: proclaim saying 'Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: "Iam zealous for Jerusalem with great zeal."' Zechariah 1:14

He also says: 'Thus says the Lord, "I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of Hosts, 

"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:16. See also Zechariah 8:1-5, 12-13, 15, 21 and 23.

He goes further to say: "Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;

The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:17.

He says: "Take the silver and gold, make an elaborate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest." Zechariah 6:11. 

Almighty God wants to put a crown of gold upon your head.

 

b) What you need to do:

1. In 2023, take away your measuring line.

Do not limit what God can do for you and through you in the way you think, the way you speak and the way you act.

Do not limit the Holy One of Israel. ( Zechariah 1:1-5 )

In Psalms 78:41: His word says:Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.

Remember also Ephesians 3:20 says: He is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all we think and ask, by the power at work within us.

2. Call with a strong conviction on the Almighty God for whom all things are possible, for whom nothing shall be impossible.

Remember His waord says in Genesis 18:10-14:

10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’

14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

See also Jeremiah 32:17-22, Jeremiah 32:26-27.

In Luke 1:34-38 we read:

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;

therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

See also Mark 10;27 and Matthew 19:26.

Remember the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you- to make the will of Almighty God happen in your life and in the work of the Ministry.

In Jeremiah 32:19 -21 we read that our Almighty God is great in counsel and mighty in deeds and that He brought out His people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, 

with a strong hand, and an outstretched arm and with great terror and He gave them the land that flows with milk and honey- they came in and took possession of it.

Let Him give you His counsel, let Him show you His signs and wonders, go in and take possession.

c) What you need to understand (have a revelation of): 

You need to understand the following things:

1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.

In Genesis 21:1-2 we read: 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.

2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

2. Almighty God fulfils His promises.

In Numbers 23:19-20 we read: 

19 God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

In  Isaiah 46:9-11 we read: 

9 Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

3. It has been done before- 

Remember in her restlessness Rachael cried: Give me children or else I die (Genesis 30:1). God answered her prayer and she bore Joseph, who subsequently received

the portion of the first born of Israel.

In her restlessness, Hannah prayed for a male child and pledged to give him to the Lord all the days of her life. God answered her prayer and she bore Samuel,

a mighty prophet of God who was also a judge of Israel. (1 Samuel 1:11).

In her restlessness Mary Magdalene sought to find where they had laid the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and she refused to be comforted.

The Lord Jesus had to make an unscheduled visit to the tomb while on His way to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ had to appear to Mary. (John 20:11-18).

We love you and continue to pray for you as you set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for the purposes of Almighty God on the Earth in our day.
