Numbers 13:30 [NIV] ‘Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”.’

DAILY READING: • Matthew 2; Exodus 22:1-23:33; Proverbs 10

Hilary Hinton “Zig” Ziglar was an author, and motivational speaker, who was well known around the world.
He began early in life to seek success.
In 1947, when he was 21years old, Ziglar began working as a salesman and also later ventured into motivational speaking.
But despite how hard he worked, he was constantly broke and in debt.
He continued to struggle financially until when he was 45 years old.
Then something happened that changed everything for him. Though he had been attending Church since he was young , yet he never really had a personal relationship with God.
But on July 4, 1972, after the Gospel was preached to him in a new light, Ziglar totally surrendered his life to Christ.
Through study of the Word he began to see himself as no longer broke and unsuccessful, but as destined to excel through Christ.
He didn’t just make his faith a personal matter, but made it the foundation of his business. He began using Biblical principles to teach success and integrated his Christian belief into his motivational work.
With the renewing of his mind, his career soon exploded and many people began to flock to hear him. Ziglar went on to speak extensively to audiences around the world and authored over 30 books and also funded many Christian causes during his lifetime.

How you see yourself will determine whether you fail or succeed in life.
Until a man comes to Christ his mind will be blinded and he will keep struggling in life. Even in the midst of plenty, this man will only see penury and life will only be a tale of woes.
In Jeremiah 17, God describes the condition of the man whose heart is separated from the Lord
Jeremiah 17:5 says ‘Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD..
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.’
The man who does not trust God will not see when good things come; rather he will only see desert-like conditions around him.
Then, Jeremiah 17; 7 -8 says ‘Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.’
The man who puts his trust in God will not see heat, harshness or dry seasons, rather he will keep seeing good things and keep flourishing.
The truth is that where we stand spiritually determines what we see in life.
While Paul was separated from God, he was a persecutor of the Church, but when he encountered the light of Christ, on the road to Damascus, the scales fell off his eyes and he became a great promoter of the Gospel.
The scales that fell off his eyes represent a spiritual covering that blinds the minds of men who have no real relationship with God.
In Numbers 13:33 ten of Israel’s twelve spies returned from the Promised Land and reported that they saw giants and felt like grasshoppers.
But Joshua and Caleb, who knew their God, saw things differently and said “Let us go up at once and possess it…for we are well able”
In this season, as we renew our thinking through God’s Word, surely, we will be positioned to access great open doors. Every fear, low self-esteem will disappear and we will move with faith and confidence to possess the land that God has ordained for us.

PRAYER: Lord, please open my eyes to behold wondrous things out of Your Word. As my mind is renewed by Your Word, surely, I shall see only good things all the days of my life in Jesus Name.
