You Can Have Daily Victories! (Part 2)

Continue from part 1

Faith begins with how you see life in the perspective of God’s word. Your perspective determines your outcome in life because possession begins with sight. What you see is your attraction. The picture you see is the future you pursue. I heard the story of a man who lived in a village and one day he saw a picture of Lagos. He was so excited about what he saw in the picture that he began to declare, “I must go to Lagos.” That became his motivation and his drive.

Your future will ultimately end in the picture that you see. So when you see nothing, you move towards nothing. Every adventure of life is initiated by a picture. How do you view life? Do you look around you and conclude, “Well I don’t think I can go beyond where I am now?” Or do you see where you are as a passage to where you are going. You know why many people are poor? They are poor because of their poor perspectives. That is what has reduced them to beggars when they should be givers.

Abraham is known as the Father of faith but his faith began with perspective. God said to him in Genesis 13:14-15, “Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.” It is your vision that sets the pace for your possession. Stop looking at where you are! Lift up your eyes and look away from where you are to where you want to be. Until you can see farther than where you are, you will never go further in life.
