OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2024 SUNDAY: HOLD FAST TO YOUR VISION II
OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2024 MEMORISE: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2
OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2024 READ: Matthew 6:19-22:
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
OPEN HEAVEN 10 NOVEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Today, I will continue the teaching I started yesterday on vision. Beloved, I want you to know that your future depends on what you can see today. If you see a glorious future, you can have it (Genesis 13:15).
When we acquired The Redemption Camp in Texas, USA, God told me, “As far as you can see, it is yours.” I walked as far as I could that day and today, everything I saw has become ours – I wish I had walked farther! God has put so much power in your vision that it attracts whatever it is focused on.
Therefore, you must be very conscious about what you set your eyes on. The Bible says in Colossians 3:2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Your eyes must be set on things above, and not on worldly things. Even when flashy things surround you, your vision must remain glued to things above.
My wife and I visited a wealthy man, and he showed us a house he was building. That was the first time that I saw a tap made of gold in a bathroom.
Right there, my wife heard God say, “Daughter, heaven is far more beautiful.” In 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Apostle Paul was joyful about the crown of righteousness that was laid up for him.
While other people saw death, he saw a coronation. This is why he said in 2 Corinthians 11:22-33 that he endured beatings, hunger, and all manners of sufferings; it was because of the things He had seen.
Beloved, don’t put your focus on earthly possessions and titles. If all you see are perishable things, all you will get will be perishable.
This is why the Bible tells us in Matthew 6:19-20 that we should lay our treasures in heaven where they cannot be destroyed.
On the other hand, if you see beyond perishable things, you will get both the perishable things and things that are imperishable. This is what the Bible says in Matthew 6:33:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The only limit to what you can lay hold on in the future is what you can see today. The things you can see will drive you to take all the necessary steps to attain them.
Beloved, there is nothing better than setting your eyes on God because when you have Him, you have everything else.
