Text: 2 Corinthians 5:6-7
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
We walk by faith and not by sight- 2 Corinthians 5:7. Most people miss out on God because they follow their physical senses. They always try to figure everything out with their human mind. They have forgotten that God’s ways are not our ways, neither are his thoughts our thoughts. So if you must successfully walk with God, don’t let your human reasoning stand in the way.
Our human brains don’t have the capacity to fully comprehend the workings of God. That is why we must not trust in our own understanding but to acknowledge him in all our ways. On Christ the solid rock we must stand, all other grounds are sinking sands.
There is a way that seems right to a man but the end is destruction. When he gives an instruction why not obey without reservation?
Naaman, the leprous Army general would have lost out of his miracle if he hadn’t obeyed by dipping himself in Jordan River seven times 2 Kings 5.
When Lot was to choose between Canaan and Sodom/Gomorrah, he allowed his human senses to take the lead. He looked around and saw that the whole plain was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, so Lot chose for himself the whole plain near Sodom and Gomorrah. Little did he know that the land of his choice was on God’s judgment list- Genesis 13, 14 and 19.
What is seen is temporal but what is unseen is permanent- 2 Corinthians 4:18. In other words, the things we can physically see in this world are temporary and fleeting while the true and lasting realities, often considered spiritual or divine, are unseen and permanent. This underscores the importance of focusing on eternal values rather than material things.
Prayer Nugget: Father, I receive grace to always work by faith and not by sight in Jesus name.
