Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth. Psalms 145:18
Read: Psalms 145:17-19
In 2 Kings 2:12-14, we read that Elisha “saw”. Earlier,
Elijah had told him that if he could see him when he is being taken up to Heaven,
only then will his hard request be granted (2 kings 2:9). Vision plays an
important role in the life of anyone who wants to achieve in life. Proverbs
29:18 says those who lack it cannot avoid destruction. Today, so many people go
to Israel on pilgrimage without seeing anything. Some go for sight-seeing and
not for spiritual experiences. Proverbs 20:12 says it is God who made the
seeing eyes because not everyone who has eyes can see. Ten people can look at a
particular object and be seeing different things depending on their point of
focus. May you see what God wants you to see in every situation in Jesus name. Through
the eyes of faith, you can see the invisible. You can see the car you are
expecting, the spouse you are believing God for or the baby you are still
looking up to God for. You can see a glorious future and a better life for
yourself using the eyes of faith. It is how far you can see that will determine
how much you will get. Elisha “saw” and he received. What are you seeing?
Besides seeing, Elisha cried out. Why? He wanted his
departing master to realise that he had seen him. Do you know that if he had
not shouted to prove that he had met with the condition earlier set, he would
not have received the double portion? In other words, it is not just enough to
see it in the spirit realm. Many have seen their fine houses, promotions,
spouses, children, or blessings in the spirit realm either through dreams,
revelation or through the eyes of faith, yet they never received them in real
life because they never cried out in prayer to God for them or confessed them.
Your mouth is one of your greatest God-given weapons. How are you using this
weapon? If you take it for granted that because God has shown you in a dream or
vision therefore that blessing will surely come, you are being presumptuous and
may never see it actualised. Many have lost their God-given destiny for failing
to cry out. Your shout to God is what makes Him to know that you are in
agreement with what He has shown you in the spirit realm. Is your mouth
occupied with something that stops you from crying out? Uproot it today and
call on the God of Elijah!
KEY POINT:
Seeing + (prayer or confession) = answer. Seeing (prayer or
confession) =silence.

Please, note that the last sentence in the first paragraph is "What are you seeing?" not "What are seeing?" Thank you
