GOD'S EYE GLASSES

Text : Psalms 90:12  

 *So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom* 

 *One major teaching every man needs, is the wisdom to know how to number his days* .

It takes God's grace and wisdom upon a man to be able to know that he is not going to be here(on earth) forever. Hence, you need to learn how to apply your heart unto wisdom. To do this, you need God's eye glasses. This will help you to start seeing and doing things in light of ETERNITY.

 *Though man is living in TIME, but he is an ETERNAL being* 

The Hebrew word *'manah'* which was translated as *number* in Psalm 90:12 can also mean to consider, count or prepare. So we can read the verse thus:

 _Teach us to count our days....._ 

 _Teach us to consider our days....._ 

 _Teach us to prepare our days....._ 

This means that your stay on this side of eternity is within a very short time frame. Hence, you need the teachings of God to be able to count, consider and prepare it. 

If you have ever used someone's recommended eye glasses, you may wonder what is the use of the eye glasses, because you have good sight. Some other times, when you use a recommended glasses that is not yours, it makes you see things the way the user sees it. In the same manner *When you take on God's eye glasses you see the way God sees. It makes you see everything in view of eternity.* With the aid of God's eye glasses, you gain eternal perspective of your existence while you are living within the frame of time.

God's eye glasses is the only thing that will help you See the hope that God is calling you into. This is the living and lively HOPE. The very hope that does not fade away. The Hope of eternal life can only be seen through God's eye glasses. 1 Peter 1:3.

God's eye glasses will help you to carefully consider the shortness of your time on earth, so that you can prepare your days and apply your heart unto wisdom. 

What then is God's eye glasses? God sees and judges through His Word. Jesus Christ (being the express image of God and His word) is God's eye glasses. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:John 5:22, John 1:1, Heb. 1:1-3.

 *The teachings that help you apply your unto wisdom are the teachings that emanate from Christ* . As you keep hearing Christ, wisdom keeps entering your heart, for Christ is the wisdom of God. (1 Cor. 1:24, Colossians 3:16).

 *Everything that the world stands for, celebrates and exalts will fade away as you look through God's eye glasses.* 

As you keep following the commands of Christ, you are able to see exactly how God sees. Then your heart will become wise. You must know that:

*Eternity is in your heart, therefore stop living as though you are a temporal being* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Pray that God will help your heart grasp the clear picture of eternity.

Bible Reading: 2 Peter 3:10-15.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
