You
may have heard of God from a friend or colleague. Perhaps you continue to hear
of Him in church services on Sundays. Like Job, you say to God, “I have heard
of You by the hearing of the ear.” But God also wants you to be able to say to
Him, “But now my eye sees You.”
When
Job told the Lord, “My eye sees You,” he was not saying that he saw God
physically. He was referring to the moment when he had a personal revelation of
God.
Why
was it so important for Job to have a personal revelation of God? You see, God
wanted Job to know that without a personal revelation of Him, the devil could
easily steal from him. But from the moment that Job had a personal revelation
of God, things got a lot better for him, with God restoring to him double of
everything that he had lost (see Job 42:10–16).
There
was a lady who was separated from her husband because he had an affair with his
colleague. But when she came to our church and began to have a personal
revelation of God’s personal love for her, she believed God for the restoration
of her marriage by the end of the year. She did not just hear of a God who “so
loved the world” (John 3:16). She came to know the God who so loved her!
Not
long after that, her estranged husband started dating her and was soon falling
in love with her all over again. God also “took care” of the other woman—she
resigned from the company. And on the first of January the following year, the
couple moved back into their matrimonial home, their marriage now built solidly
on God!
My friend, when you are reading your Bible or hearing God’s Word being preached, and suddenly you exclaim, “I see it, Lord!” that is when your personal revelation of God has come. And you are now in a position to receive all that He has for you! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
