Just BE! International Newsletter – Issue 16 – “Eyes That See!”

Dear friend,

One of the important things in our bid to BEing is to have seeing eyes. Jesus speaking to His disciples said, “…blessed are your eyes, for they see…” (Matthew 13:16). Let me talk briefly about a few issues on this topic of seeing eyes.

God has designed us that by virtue of our specific wiring by purpose, there are certain needs (and opportunities for advancement) that we can see. We cannot see every need in men, but the needs we see are those God expects us to do something about, and quickly too. In Matthew 15:32-39, Jesus saw the hunger of the people (a need), and moved by compassion, fed them with what was available so much so that there was even surplus leftover at the end of the day. What do you see? Do you see the less privileged not being cared for? Do you see a need for a type of business that you could go into? Do you see a leadership need and you can do something about it? What you see is what you must do to impact men. It is your passport to BEing. Follow your heart and do something about it now.

Next, can you see where God is taking you to? The bliss? The surplus? The authority? The sacrifices? The connections with men and women of substance? The management guru of world renown that you are to BEcome? The business tycoon you would transform into? The parent you would BEcome that would be the envy of the world? That first-class philanthropist you are to BE? Can you see it? The ability to sustain in the mind the proper picture of where God is taking you to is also essential for BEing. In the words of Robert Schuller, “The me I see is the me I’ll be”. How awesome! God has a place He’s taking you to and it’s blissful! (Jeremiah 29:11) Keep seeing in your mind, the picture of your desired end. In just a matter of time, you will BEcome that picture!

Finally, there are certain things God will not let us see. It is God’s design. His sovereignty is such that when He chooses not to reveal some things to us, we really cannot question Him (Deuteronomy 29:29).

Friends, keep making impact on earth! If you are seeing the need, then meet the need! Focus on where God is taking you to! You have seeing eyes! BE blessed! Take charge! Maximise life! JUST BE!
