Motivation Monday: Start with a Vision, Walk on by Faith

"All experts are experts on what was. There is no experts on what will be. To become an expert in what will be, vision must replace experience" - David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime Minister

If we are to travel in time into the future 100 years ahead, what are we going to see? What kind of transportation will be in use? What kind of models would businesses run with? What kind of infrastructures would the world be living by? What kind of service delivery would we see? What would we see in medicine, in engineering, in agriculture, in education, in entertainment? How would the world be in a hundred years? Can you conceive it?

Now, all things being equal, if rapture doesn't happen between now and then, things would be quite different from what we see today and definitely and gradually, we are traveling down that road and there's nothing we can do about it, not about the changes that we'll see.

The truth is that, it'll take human activities to get mankind to that place. It won't be by folding hands doing nothing and expecting it. People must and will take responsibility and take the lead. But those who take the lead will be kings when we get there. Those who took the lead yesterday are called first world today. And the rest work for them.

That had always been the way. Now in the beginning, when God blessed man to be fruitful and multiply, the blessing became a pregnancy in man and as each generation gives birth, the world is replenished till we got where we are today.

We didn't discover electricity the first day we got here, so also we are yet to discover lots of things embedded already in the spirit of humanity by God with which to replenish the earth.

But how did it come to the thoughts of those who brought these things out to develop our world to where it is today? Because the mind only processes what's in the past. The mind is expert in working with what has already been done or what had happened and not what is yet to happen.

It wasn't what was that made the world this developed, they are the things that never were. Each generation gives birth to new things, leaving the past behind as we move into their future.

The truth is that these things we call new had been in the mind of God from eternity which He inseminated into the spirit of mankind to develop and be delivered of in their due times and seasons.

Whenever a thing is to be born, the conception comes into the consciousness of those who are aware. They don't have to be those being celebrated at the time for past discoveries. They may be nobodies in society but they are always filled with weird imaginations of strange possibilities and seeing visions others are struggling to see.

There's always a struggle between what was and what is to be. The old would want to maintain its reign while the new king would be knocking, exciting the consciousness beyond what it had known.

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."-Albert Einstein

The intellect analyses what has been, which the mind has recorded but the spirit of man brings us to that place of the realities which are beyond us.

1 Corinthians 2
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

There has to be a revelation of what has been prepared. This is what is called vision. It is beyond the intelligence of man, it is the wisdom of God. It is seeing the invisible, it is beyond what eyes can see or the ear can hear, it can't be touched or felt, it doesn't live outside the spirit realm.

Imagine those who discovered what we spend years to study in schools today, many didn't have a degree, they were sometimes unschooled but they were also very inquisitive. They wondered why. They asked questions. They may even be so blinded by their "delusions" that they fail exams and were discredited by their tutors who won't see what they saw. But those things filled the world and move the world to where it is.

Tomorrow belong to those kind of people. Some people groups have discovered these. They understand that the future isn't what has been experienced. They understand that the past isn't wealthy no matter how many billions it has gotten, the wealth is in the unseen future while the past is decaying and going into oblivion. Mankind is sustained by the future and for the future and not by its past.

Isaiah 42
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Isaiah 43
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

It means only the people of faith, not the people of religion own the future. Those who can believe the incredible, those who can see the invisible, those who can walk by faith and not by sight. They are the owners of the future. They are not consumers, they are producers. They are not eaters, they are fruit bearers. They give birth... (Those who won't give birth in the realm we speak of will go into oblivion and extinction even if they have the majority in human population.)

They are those searching, watching for what's coming, not just what has been. They aren't news readers, they are prophets, they don't feed on dead news, they live on visions and prophecies.

They are searchers. Researchers. And they rule, nothing rules over them.

Proverbs 25
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

If they look backwards, it is so that they can extract what the future needs from the past. Electricity has been here before mankind came. But because of the future, some had to go search for it to bring the world into its future. Those researchers are the kings of the future.

We must learn the ways of vision. We must learn the ways of the spirit. We must connect with the spirit of wisdom to enjoy that leap in our consciousness in order to connect with what would be in the future and then walk with those by faith as we march into the future.

Humanity will still experience a new heaven and a new earth. We would still be clothed with a glorious body that travels at the speed of thoughts and live eternally. Not by the works of the intellect but by the rebirth of the human spirit so that it can work with the Invisible to birth the things that has been prepared.

This can start with the endeavor in your hand right now. Start with the vision of the invisible connect at the watchtower of the spirit and walk on by faith and not by sight into the future prepared... The future is larger but it is beyond what eyes have seen... Strive to lead the way!

Good morning and welcome into a new week!
