Not everybody will answer the question of Jesus correctly. For you to go far/manage treasures, you need sight. Blind men don’t see the face of God. The attention of Jesus is not forever, Jesus can wait but He can’t wait forever. There is provision for blindness in the kingdom but you can’t go far with blindness. One of the senses of the spirit is sight, every man of sight is a focused man. Sight is power, those who have sight will leave you behind. The enemy will operate when you are blind, they will take advantage of you, when a man’s eyes are opened he will affect generations. For you to see, your sight must be in your eyes, you need to see what you carry before you can use it. The functionality of your sight is for seeing. Sight is what makes things happen. The man that has the sight has the light ( illumination). Until you have sight, you can’t follow Jesus. In the kingdom, your growth is by your choice, the structure for seeing is eyes but the functionality of the eyes is the sight. When your eyes are opened, you will crave for three things. And these three things are;
The personality of Jesus, the doings of Jesus and the words of Jesus.
1. The personality of Jesus:- The personality of Jesus is a personal thing, knowing Jesus is a personal thing. Where there is safety, it is for you to see Jesus for yourself. The main thing that will happen to you after your eyes have received sight is that your heart will burn for the person and things of Jesus, and this is the basis of every genuine encounter with Jesus.
2. The doings of Jesus:- Until your eyes are opened, you can’t follow Jesus. That is, you can’t know Him until your eyes are opened. No man has the capacity to open your eyes except the owner of the light (Jesus). Until your eyes are opened, you can’t burn for God. The doings of Jesus are as follows;
To know the hope of why Jesus called you Eph:1:18:- The doings of Jesus is what Jesus can do, if you don’t know the reason why He has called you, then you will not see Him when He shall appear. Everyone that has this hope purifies Himself. Titus 2:13. Your influence is not the position you have, but what you carry. The devil will give you alternative to the hope of your calling, the hope of your calling is to see Jesus when He comes. That is, to see the second coming of Jesus.
To know the inheritance that Christ has come to give us:- in everything you do, you must not take any decision outside of the HolySpirit. Christ came to seal us with the Holyspirit of promise, if the Holyspirit is not in control of your total life, then your eyes are not opened.
To know the power of Jesus.
3. The words of Jesus:- Your eyes must be opened to the scriptures. If your heart is not burning on daily basis, then something is wrong with your eyes. Your zeal is tied to what you see, the reason why you can’t follow Jesus is because Jesus is hidden. The greatest way to know Jesus is in His word, you can’t have encounter with the word and not meet the owner. The work of Jesus is not by experience but by the spirit of the word. Until your eyes are opened you can’t draw/bring life outside of His words. The easiest compass to know God is through His words, map out location, then you will know God. If you always want to be on the scene, you will miss Jesus and what He stands for.
