"He
hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in
their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the
beginning to the end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
The portion of our
opening verse refers to the limitless nature of the human spirit. God has set
eternity in the hearts of men so they may have extraordinary capacity to
contemplate, envision or see. The reason
God can relate with man and instruct him to dominate his world is because He
has set eternity in man’s spirit. There is no limit to the extent, reach and
capacity to which the human spirit can function.
For example, in Genesis 13:14-15,
the Lord said to Abraham: "...Lift up now thine eyes, and look from
the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
forever." Romans 4:13 reveals that by faith, Abraham
encompassed the whole world with his spirit from where he stood; and on that
premise, God willed the whole world to him. This shows you can envision and
encompass territories, cities, nations and even the whole world in your heart
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit can open your
understanding for you to become aware and be able to comprehend the wonderful
blessings God has prepared for you to enjoy (1 Corinthians 2:12). The
principle is: See it inside first—with your heart—the eyes of your spirit. This
is beyond seeing with your physical eyes or the imaginative power of your mind.
It has to do with the power of the Holy Spirit catapulting you into God’s
realm, where your spirit can see as God wants you to see, and interpret what He
shows you.
Consciously practice seeing with
your heart by meditating on the Word, and contemplating the realities of the
heavenly Kingdom, to which you belong. This will make you a creator; a maker
and a wonder to your world because of the ability of the Spirit granted you to
see things that are hidden to the natural man.
