The Phaneroo Devotion: When You See The Lord – 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 9:1 (NKJV): “Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?”

The vision of Christ is one of the most defining experiences for any child of God.
Throughout the Scriptures, no one saw the Lord and remained the same.
Abraham saw the Lord and inherited the world as the father of many nations. Moses saw the Lord and is remembered as the great lawgiver. Isaiah saw the Lord and was propelled several years into the future to give the world the prophecy of the coming Christ. David saw the Lord and showed generations how to worship God. Paul saw the Lord and laid the foundation of the revelation of the New Testament.
You must have a vision of God, not merely as the world defines Him, but as He truly is.
Why is this very vital?
A famous hymn reminds us to turn our eyes upon Jesus, and as we do, the things of this world grow strangely dim. Any man who sees the Lord sees from a higher vantage point in the spirit. By this vision, the things of this world begin to fold, shrink, and lose the power they once had over his heart and imagination.
When you see the Lord, what once looked impossible begins to look small in the light of His greatness. By that vision, running a big and global ministry becomes a small thing because of the place from which you see. Running a multimillion-dollar business becomes a small thing, folded into a smaller reality because of the height of your vision. That innovative idea takes on the form of possibility because of the Lord you have seen. Praise Him!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Any man who sees the Lord sees from a higher vantage point in the spirit. By this vision, the things of this world begin to fold, shrink, and lose the power they once had over his heart and imagination.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. You open the eyes of my spirit to see You as You truly are. My vision is elevated above fear, limitation, impossibility, and the opinions of men. As I behold You, You transform my thinking and enlarge my faith. I walk in boldness, wisdom, excellence, and divine purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
