Are you living by sight without vision?

Are You Living By Sight Without Vision?
That is a question you must answer before
you can ever reach your full potential.
As you will learn, living by sight without
vision will stall the glorious plans God has
your life.
Your faith will be stirred and your determination
tempered as Dr. Myles Monroe shows you how to




zero in on your God-given vision. You were born to
win and this is your welcome into the winner's
circle! We walk by faith and not by sight!
by Dr. Myles Monroe
If you are operating by sight, you see the
problems and challenges all around you.
You see how many bills you have to pay; you see
that your company is downsizing; you see things
that threaten your security.
Sight without vision is dangerous because it has
no hope.
Many people have been living by sight alone, and
that's one reason they have all kinds of medical
problems- muscle tension, migraines, high blood
pressure, heart disease, ulcers, tumors, and so
on.
Living by sight can kill you.
Life is so full of depressing things that you need
to learn to live by vision and see with the eyes
of faith.
Remember that sight is the ability to see things
as they are, and vision is the ability to see things
as they could be. I like to go a step further and
define vision this way:
Vision is the ability to see things as they should
be. Maybe you are going through a hard time
right now and you're disheartened.
You've lost your vision edge.
Perhaps this is because of your surroundings.
Sometimes, the environments we live in are not
the best for fostering vision. What people say to
us is not always encouraging and can be very
discouraging.
I have been tempted to be disillusioned and
discouraged many times.
Even though we know that the discouraging
things we see and hear are temporary, they still
can distress and depress us. We must keep our
visions constantly before us, however, because
the visions in our hearts are greater than our
environments.
God gave us vision so we would not have to live
by what we see.
The Bible is very clear that "without faith it is
impossible to please God" (Hebrews
11:6). If you try to function in any other way than
faith, you will malfunction. That is why worry is
ungodly and fear makes your vision short-circuit.
You were never meant to be afraid.
Jesus was filled with faith, and He was the
calmest person on earth. He slept soundly in the
middle of a storm. When His frightened disciples
woke Him up, He asked them, "Do you still have
no faith?" (Mark 4:40). He was telling them, "If
you have faith you will be able to sleep during a
storm, as well." You may be saying, "This doesn't
sound very practical."
It is, however.
I have been living this way-by faith instead of
fear-for over twenty years, and it's been so
much fun. I don't worry for very long about
anything, because I believe that, ultimately,
everything is on my side.
Even the schemes of the devil work to my
benefit.
All things work for my good because I am called
according to God's purpose. (See Romans 8:28)

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
