2 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

Oh! Prophet Isaiah! I call him the man who saw tomorrow yesterday! When you see tomorrow day, you can take hold of it cheaply too. The hardship of life stems chiefly from the blindness of men.

One amassing lesson of life, is that a man without physical eyes, but whose spiritual eyes are open; can rule over a multitude who have eyes, but are blind. In the college of life, only those with clear vision are given promotion to the next level.

In Mark chapter eight, a blind man was brought to Jesus to be healed. Surprisingly, Jesus led him out of town before performing the miracle. But when he asked him to open his eyes; those around him were shocked at his confession. Mark 8:24 "And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking" and verse 25, "After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly"
Isaiah was lamenting about men who can't believe the reports of the Lord; men who cannot believe for the impossible: because the hand of the Lord is not revealed to them. In other words, they have eyes but yet, they are blind: no revelations, no vision!

Miracles are not tales by moonlight: they are supernatural occurrences created from impossible situations. They are deliberately provoked by men who see what others can't see. Jacob saw something which made him hold onto the Angel and cried "I won't let you go unless you bless me". You can't hold on to something you can't see; and you can't cheaply let go something you can see!
Indomitable faith and praying without ceasing are products of seeing eyes. If you mingle too much in the crowd; you will lose your sight. If you can't belief God for the impossible, it could be that the crowd is already affecting your sight. That's why Jesus took the blind man out of town to heal. Even after the healing he still could not see clearly; until Jesus commanded him to look up!

The challenge is that looking around is easier than looking up. Moving around is cheaper than sitting down at the feet of the Lord, to gather required resources for the journey.

What God intends to do is heavy and unbelievable! Only by miracles can it be delivered; but it must meet you prepared: in the right place and in right frame of mind. Prayer and faith is what you need for the next level! Get a praying partner and get down to work.

May you encounter miracles that sound like tales by the moonlight!

God bless you as you go today in Jesus name!

The Greatest is Love!!!
