#FootstepsofGREARNESS [3]
Before the artist painted the flower he saw the flower and believed in it.
Before the architect drew the house he saw the house and believed in it.
Before the young man married the young woman he saw a wife in her and believed in it.
Before the farmer brought in his harvest he saw the harvest in the seed and believed in it
Before you and I accomplish anything great, we must first see the possibility of that GREATNESS and believe in it.
The future we do not see and believe can never become a reality.
The question is...
How do we "see" the future?
Through the LENSes of IMAGINATION and the PROCESS PLANT of MEDITATION. (See Gen. 11:6, Josh 1:8)
Through imagination and meditation we can paint pictures of a great future from the scripture by the help of the Holy Spirit.
God has given every believer his Holy Spirit to guard us through life. Those who know how to listen to that inner voice by meditating on the scriptures, start to imagine the realities of what he says and believe in it.
Abraham left us his footprints to follow.
Genesis 15:5-6 Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Abraham became the father of many nations by first seeing nations in the stars and believing in the possibility. Then God made it happen.
Nothing grounds a person in mediocrity more than lack of vision and faith in future possibilities.
Notice also that Abraham did not see the stars until he came outside of his house
Your imagination is as fertile as your EXPOSURE. We are limited by how far we can see, imagine and meditate
Therefore, if we truly desire GREATNESS we need to learn to open the windows of our imagination, EXPOSE ourselves to the endless sky of POSSIBILITIES and believe in the GREATNESS we can see.
Abraham did it and so can we if we walk in his footsteps.
