The Vision of Sin

The Lord was teaching me an important truth today regardig vision.. your vision is your life.. whatever you sow into your vision now, you'll reap it in the future, you'll live it out and walk in it in the future.. and this can be both good and bad... it can apply for your vision of destiny and having sight for the plans and purposes that God has for your life.. or it can also be applied for evil.. when the plans of wickedness start breeding in the human heart...

That's why somewhere in the book of Romans is an exhortation not to think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.. cos the vision for sin will lead to death.. it will lead to it being carried out eventually. The Lord taught me a great truth on friday- that vision is dead in itself but it becomes alive in a person.. it means that whatever plans that He has for us and releases to us, it's up to us to steward and run with them otherwise, they are dead in themselves.. but they become alive in us..

Likewise, when you talk about sin... A vision for sin is dead in itself.. and without a person to give life to that vision for sin, then sin has no power.. sin cannot be carried out or made manifest upon the earth.. but it needs a vehicle- the person..

I have come to realise that the soil in Matthew 13 represents the human heart.. it talks about how soft the human heart is and how ready it is for the seed of a godly vision to be planted, to take root, grow and be fruitful... but is the condition of our hearts, then, just right for the vision of sin to take root... is our heart more suitable for breeding weeds than wheat?? If our heart catches the vision of sin very easily then we must be careful... Jeremiah 17 says that the heart of man is wicked and deceitful...

The good news?? We can kill sin at the root by allowing God to change our hearts... The way to stop sin? Kill the vision of sin.. dun allow such a wicked vision to begin to ferment inside of us... Acknowledge the vision of sin for what it is and then die to it and surrender you heart to the Lord.. And ask God to heal your heart, heal the land so that it woun't be susceptible to the vision of sin.. Den ask Him to plant instead a vision of righteousness to take over all that ground... Allow His Word to sink in deep...

Remember that you're a work in progress, His workmanship created to do every good work that He has prepared in advance for you... He won't leave your heart for weeds to grow on... Cos there's soooooo much more that awaits! :)

God bless!
