FORESEE! - Hidden Series 003
Proverbs 22:3, KJV
"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished".
"Foresee" means to see, 'before hand', 'to have been notified earlier." The prudent sees early, takes preparation and so escape the punishment of the simple. This is who you should be.
No one desires being in darkness. This is the very reason why people go for consultation. The need to know and know before hand is driving them. In some cultures, when a child is born or even before then, they consult to know what he should become. This is not foolish but a wise preparation to focus and align with what their revealed destiny is stating.
What the Holy Spirit seeks to explain today is not that people are not seeing. The problem is that they're not foreseeing. Just like a warrior would be in danger of death not seeing early a coming arrow, so will any Christian count losses if he can't foresee. Like the English would say, "many sees when the charmer can no longer charm." Let us ask, "of what use is such seeing?" Any seeing, knowing or discovery that's too late so that it couldn't save you is not functional. This is death or life matter we are seeking to salvage you from. We can't take chances. What matters is that you foresee and not see bedtime. Have you heard people say, "I see." Anyone who utters , "I see or now, I see" didn't see before. They showed him, they tried persuading him but somehow, he just couldn't see. However eventually, he sees. It is this eventual seeing but which is very late that makes him exclaim with delight that he sees. What seeing is that? I don't want to live in that. That seeing is too late. It will choke preparation. But whenever you foresee, you can always do much and put preparation down between the time you see something to come and when it would manifest.
God is good and He is actually good every time. If we ever say otherwise, it is because we have missed time with God. There's no event that happens on earth that's not slated. Just like calendar, watch, map and flag is important to us on earth, so is it to them in heaven. They operate by appointed times. While God's calendar may be different from ours, in that a thousand years is taken for a day and a day for a thousand years (which reveals the reluctance of God in destroying the world but bearing with sinners that all may repent - II Pet.3:8), yet in calculation, such appointed times won't miss their slated times. They are like space shuttles released into space and destined to make appointment of arrival at a time. Though humans have a part to play in ensuring events slated are birthed but you can be assured that even if any event tarries, it would eventually speak. So, between the time God speaks and the time that speech would seek to manifest in a body (as event, situation or whatever), you have a time for preparation (either to take a shield for protection or dig to collect God's rain that'll fall).
All is on foreseeing. All is on seeing ahead of the fallen of events. All is on not missing it or miscalculating. All is on having studied the geography and astronomy of spiritual travels. Indeed, you can know because Joseph knew. You can say this thing is firmly established seeing God doubles the revelation and act for escape correspondingly as Joseph said of Pharaoh's dreams. I speak "foresee" into your life. This is not the time to see when it's near but like one on a watchtower see into the faraway to come. Herein hangs your salvation and of others who are connected to you if you're a leader.
PRAYER: Father, lighten my lamp; enlighten my darkness. Ordain me a lamp and illuminate me on things to come.
