WHAT DO YOU SEE

“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (KJV)
What are you seeing about your life? We have a situation today in global affairs that portends negative but I refuse to see negative in my life because I am a child of God. When you see clearly what God has done in the light of His Word concerning your life, you will hasten the manifestation. When you refuse to see your immediate condition and the circumstances around you, you will hasten heaven’s intervention in your life. The reason that many believers are still stranded is that they keep on talking about what the devil has done in their lives.
God said to Jeremiah: “…Thou hast well seen:…” What does it mean to see well? In this context, it means to see the light of the Word of God. It means to see what God has already perfected for you in eternity. When you see it well, you will not believe the Doctor’s report. When you see it well, you will not believe the economic report. When you see it well, you will not believe the report in your city. When you see it well, you will begin to have a type of peace that transcends human understanding.
Your focus should always be on the things that have been perfected concerning you in Christ Jesus. It is all about Jesus. When did it happen? It happened before the world began. The more you see these things, the more you are strengthened in your inner man. When you see well, you will be bold as a lion because you know that you can never be defeated.
So, you see, it is a predetermined thing. It has been perfected before you were born. God already prepared it! The enemy has no authority to overrule it! That is why I know that you will not be defeated.
