Message

The eye is the organ of sight and it is through it we see and behold all the beautiful things around us. God in His wisdom planted our sight on our forehead and not below the shoulder or under our feet. This is to enable us see fast, far and further. Seeing further goes beyond just what you can physically appreciate at the moment. For instance you can see a cup of grain and quickly identify it as millet, rice, or even maize, then you could see it as food for immediate consumption or as a source of wealth when you decide to plant it.

Insight therefore goes beyond our physical sight, it entails seeing through our inner eyes and allowing God through His spirit to make things clearer to us. We could see from our text that Joshua and Caleb has sight and also insight that enabled them to see milk and honey in the land. Whereas their friends who had just the physical sight saw just the unconquerable giants that were in the land.

As friends of Jesus, our physical eyes are not enough especially when we are to take important decision in life. We must seek for insight through the help of the Holy spirit. To have insight, you must first become a friend of Jesus by repenting of your sins and asking Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour. Then you must spend quality time in the place of prayer and study God’s word daily while maintaining holiness and righteousness everywhere and with everyone.
