Today, I want to write about how God sees you.
God wants you to see how God sees! God sees you BLESSED!
God is saying this to you: "I see you differently from how man sees! Man may see you cursed, defeated and good for nothing, BUT I see you BLESSED, victorious and expecting greater things to happen in your life!"
Many people do not have a good outlook for this coming year. Many people see doom and gloom. That may be what (and how) it looks like in the world, BUT as for you, you are different! Because you belong to CHRIST! If you see how God sees regarding yourself, you are going to see greater things coming in your life this new year!
The adversary or even man (who are jealous against you, who don't want you to succeed in life, or who think they know better than you) may want to see you cursed, defeated, down and out! But I have a good news for you. God sees you differently! God sees you BLESSED, victorious, and expecting greater things to happen in your life!
And that's exactly how God saw Israel! By faith, you too are the Israel, the spiritual Israel! And God sees you the same too! Because you have been grafted in through your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Numbers 24:3-9 (NKJV) says: Then he (Balaam) took up his oracle and said: "The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened, the utterance of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes wide open: "How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters. He shall pour water from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brings him out of Egypt; he has strength like a wild ox; he shall consume the nations, his enemies; he shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.""
Wow! Awesome prophetic declarations regarding Israel! That's how God saw Israel! And these prophetic declarations are for you too, the spiritual Israel, through your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!
When Jesus died for you on the cross, He has carried all your curse on the cross! And if the devil or anyone on earth tries to curse you or wants you to fall, to be defeated, or 'down and out', they can't! Because what matters is not how they see you. What matters is how God sees you! God sees you BLESSED! Always remember this as you head into a brand new year!
Just as in Numbers 22, 23 and 24 regarding Israel those days. There was a king called Balak, the king of Moab at that time. He was feeling threatened by the presence of the Israelites who were passing by on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Balak felt that the Israelites were too near for comfort. But the fact of the matter was the Israelites were just journeying past on the way to the Promised Land. They didn't mean harm. They were just doing what God told them! But you know what Balak did? He wanted to curse, annihilate and destroy them! So he engaged a diviner named Balaam to curse Israel. Long story short, Balaam somehow didn't. Not only did he not curse Israel, God used his mouth to pronounce blessings to Israel and curse Moab instead! You see? What man tries to do to destroy or curse you, God will know how to turn it around for your good! That's how BLESSED you are!
So, fear not! If you have God, you have everything! Let Him lead you into a brand new year, and let Him do even greater works through your life this new year. Hallelujah! Amen!
