FAITH CAPSULE: When you begin to see your breakthrough, as being there when is yet to be there, it will come to be.

Acts 22:1-13

Paul the apostle was a persecutor of Christ followers before he encountered Jesus. Paul was answering the name Saul, when he “…went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were on the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” (Acts 9:1-2) Paul was on a journey to do damage to followers of Christ when Jesus Christ appeared onto him and his entourage. Paul testifies of the encounter when he stated in Acts 22:9, “And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me. So I said, “What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’”  Paul was able to see and to hear before he could receive direction into his divine appointment. Could it be that you have seen and not able to hear or you have heard and not able to see? There is a need to see and hear before gaining the direction of entering every divine appointment. The word that you receive and do not see will not enter into you. Also the word that you hear and not see will not answer for you. Faith demands that when you hear the word of God and you begin to see it as being there when it is not there, it will come to be there. Paul’s entourage saw and they allowed fear to take what they saw and the possibility of hearing was not in place. When the Lord touched Jeremiah, it was with purpose for him to be able to hear what the Lord was having for him. The Lord put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth and said to him, “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10) God told Jeremiah to see it when it was yet to be there. Seeing the word of God is believing while believing the word of God is becoming what the word offers. When you begin to see your breakthrough, as being there when is yet to be there, it will come to be. Have you received a prophecy of favor lately? If you have received any, begin to see it and seal it with prayer and it will come to pass. Paul saw and heard, the story of his life, and was changed forever because in his seeing and hearing, his divine appointment was packaged. Be awake and alive in this journey of life. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your eyes and ears of understanding in your journey of life.
