FAITH CAPSULE: What you see determines what you receive.

Numbers 13
 
What you do not see you will not receive; what you do not receiveyou do not become.
When Moses directed men to go and spy on the Promise Land, it was with understanding that God was going to give them the land because God already promised them with the land. It is written, “Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; whether the land is rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.”” (Numbers 13:17-20)Moses knew when God says go, it is good. Take note that in his direction, he specifically asked them to see what it looks like. It was for the spy to see for themselves and make the choice of positive and not negative confession, knowing that God is able to give them good and not evil. For the people to see positive and not negative, Moses also encouraged them by reminding them to be of good courage. Despite the fact that the hand of God saw them through great miracles in and out of Egypt; despite the fact that God has never failed them of His promises in their life, the spy failed to see their Canaan as a take-able for their possession.
It is more than important but very crucial that you begin to see by faith in all that God has ordained for a believer that is seeking God. Those spies failed to see the positive that God has placed for them but negative. They saw inability, defeat, hindrances, and failure that were unmovable. It is time for you to begin to see through the lenses of faith and receive by the grace of God. The spy’s inability to see through faith provoked all kinds of negative confession and discouragement. As a result of negative confession, Caleb responded by faith, “…let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30)   
In the place of challenge, Caleb and Joshua saw victory by faith and they sounded it out. The sound which Caleb and Joshua pronounced (confessed) came to be and they were able to receive their confession.
As much as it is important to see, so it is important about the sound you produce if you are to be receiving just as promised in the word of God. See right, sound right and receive it just as it is written.
 
Prayer for today:Ask God to take over your ways of seeing.
