THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOPE. PT3: ENCOUNTER HOPE AND ENGAGE YOUR VISION
Hope is that which our hearts constantly meditate and stay upon in an unbroken
flow of thoughts. Your heart finds it so uneasy to let go of these
thoughts which is a product of the vision of your spirit man ministered to your
heart. You always find the essence of peace, joy and righteousness despite how unimaginable and
unagreeable these thoughts are to you and a pictorial possibility of its
manifestation.
An encounter with the Omni-potent God leaves
every believer with the power to envision and access to provision.
Being born again or receiving the life of Christ upon salvation might not
change any physical status within and outside you. Your physical height and
skin color never changes, your physical circumstances and conditions but one
major thing that encounters a total change is your spirit man.
Your
Spirit man whom is now a new seal and identity of your person continuously
ministers to your heart because he is now in direct communication with the
Spirit of God (Eph. 1:13, Rom. 8: 14-15). There is a change in the signal
gotten within you, every other thing that isn’t of God find inconvenience in
you and that’s because there is a new Lordship in you. But in order to
understand that the standard of what you see, hear and sometimes feel isn’t no
more of the standard of the world then you need to carefully study the scripture
Ephesians 1:17-end. But I will try to open our eyes to verse 17&18
Apostle Paul after sensitizing the church from Eph.
1:1-15 of the new identity and expediency of the new life which was predestined
before the foundations of the earth and in verse 13 explained the born again
process from an internal point of view, made a deep resort to the modus operandi
of a true believer who totally trust in the Father in Ephesians 1:17-18.
17 that the God of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your
understanding[a] being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope
of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His
inheritance in the saints,
Despite
having the first three encounters of receiving the Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation
in Gods knowledge and an opening of our inner eyes, the first is that you may
know the Hope of your calling; This therefore signifies that now you have a due
of Gods thought towards you (Jer.29:11). The first thing God wants you to
encounter is Hope (Vision, purpose, Plans) of why He has called and chosen you.
Your vision defines your direction.
The
scripture says where there is no vision, the people perish (Prov. 29:31). But
he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Your eyes of understanding is enlightened
to have an encounter with Hope. This Hope there defines your vision corrects
your envisioning and attitude and response to all that happens in and outside
you. This encounter therefore empowers and equip you for what God is set to do
through even when its not logical and sensible to the natural mind. Hope
empowers and equips you for the impossible and unimaginable. Remember if your
aren’t believing and hoping for the unbelievable then you are not believing at
all.
