“And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto Him: and when he was come near, He asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, THAT I MAY RECEIVE MY SIGHT. And Jesus said unto him, RECEIVE thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.” – Luke 18:35-42
Jesus came that you may receive your sight. There is joy in seeing. God wants you to see; that’s why He gave you two eyes. I am not talking about seeing physically but spiritually. I mean having a godly vision. A man that is spiritually blind is far away from blessings. When God wanted to change the life of Abraham, He gave him a vision (Gen 13:14-15).
But it was after Lot was separated from him. There are relationships you will have to break up from for God to get in touch with you. Remember evil communication corrupts good manners. Abraham had to lift his eyes and look from where he was “For all the land which thou seest to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever” (Gen 13:15).
You cannot achieve greatness in life just looking at the limited market where you are but lifting up your eyes to see beyond a barrier and look into a future designed by God for your greatness in life. Take for instance, each time the enemy, the first thing he attacks is your eyes because if he blinds your sight his strength is made perfect (2 Kings 16:21). A man without a sight will find it difficult to fulfill his destiny!
“Where there is no vision the people perish” – Proverbs 29:18
In Proverbs 29:18 we read that without vision the people perish spiritually. You will not perish. The devil can be mad at you if you are making progress and can aggravate your case if you don’t know the Lord. Spiritual blindness will make God bypass you.
