YOU ARE GOD'S EYES

MEMORY VERSE
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Proverbs 3:22

READ
Daniel 2:19-23

Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Dan 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Dan 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Dan 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Dan 2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

MESSAGE
 In Psalm 17:8, while receiving terrible attacks from deadly enemies, David asked God to protect him as the apple of His eyes. The eyes can serve as a window to the heart. To read a man's heart, you do not need to look at his mouth but his eyes. Why? The mouth could be saying one thing but the eyes would be saying something different. Usually, what the eyes say is most likely true. In the same vein, God wants the world to read His mind by focusing or studying us believers His eyes. May you not fail God in this special assignment.

In Genesis 41:14-36, Pharaoh had dreams but needed the apple of God's eyes Joseph, to provide the interpretation. Similarly, King Nebuchadnezzar had dreams in Daniel 2:19-23, 4:19-27 and 5:10-29, but could not interpret them until he looked at the apple of God's eyes Daniel. There are certain truths and understanding about God some people may never have until they set their eyes on you. But the question is: when they look at you, will they be able to read the mind of God?

One of the duties of the Holy Spirit is to show us future events (John 16:13). He searches God's heart and correctly reveals to us what God is thinking about us. Amos 3:7 says before God does a thing, He would have first revealed it to His prophets. If you want to know the mind of God concerning an issue, you will be required to look through His eyes His prophets. This does not mean that until you are tagged a prophet before God can reveal His secrets to you. There are many people who have a close walk with God that receive more heavenly secrets than some who are called prophets and prophetesses. If you are truly saved, baptised in the Holy Spirit and you allow the Holy Spirit have His way in your life, be prepared to share in His secrets. You are God's eyes and just as tears flow through the eyes so does God want to express His feelings through us.

PRAYER POINT
