YEA! I AM SEEING BETTER THINGS

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. He asked me, what do you see? I answered; I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left. I asked the angel who talked with me, what are these, my lord? He answered; do you not know what these are? No, my lord, I replied. So he said to me, this is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of God bless it, God bless it. Then the word of the Lord came to me: The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel? Then I asked the angel, what are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand? Again I asked him, what are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil? He replied do you not know what these are? No, my lord, I said. So he said, these are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.” Zechariah 4:1-14

For many years, Zerubbabel had been serving God with great expectations for a change, for a blessing, and a deep desire to see better things in life; by grace, he lived to see all his long life expectations fulfilled. As God did for Zerubbabel, He will for you; He is waking you up, taking you from failures to success, waking you up to begin seeing His hands of blessings, provisions; taking you from despair and confusions to seeing something new and better in your life, future and your current desires, to begin doing something new and to begin being productive again.

Zerubbabel had been a preacher for years, lived within the sanctuary for years, and observed the lambs burning, the oil in the bowls and the wicks linking the bowls to light the lamp. All through His years of service, he never had any other meaning to what he had been seeing, he never had extra understanding and no one gave him a change of succeeding. He had laid a foundation for a building and the construction was not progressing beyond that and no one gave him the slightest chance of completing the building, but a day came in his life that all things began to change for good, his confidence was restored, assurance was given, joy and happiness restored, his joyful hope was lively again, and his strength was renewed by what he saw and what he heard.

You were not born to see the same thing all year round; you were not born to be seeing failures and experiencing disappointments forever. Even where no one gave you a chance to see better things, a door is opening for you for a change; even where no one believed in you, the assurance is coming that you be see the joy of fulfillment; where they thought you will not make it through, you will exceed; where they have withdrawn all needed assistance, a divine assistance is coming.

God is restoring the hope you lost, the confidence you threw away, and the peace that had eluded you because of what you have seen in life, evil concerning you not return. God is lighting His lamp again on your path and the light is kept alive by His divine power as that of Zerubbabel.

He is enabling you to overcome the mountains that had been your source of hindrance by His spirit, turning them to plains for you to have an easy run through. As God opens the eyes of Zerubbabel to begin seeing new things, giving him divine guide, understandings and practical insights into the meanings of what he was seeing, so is He going to do in your life from now on.  

Though you have been seeing odd things in your life before, the time had come to begin seeing good and better things. I pray that you will begin to see these good things and experience the very best in life as a true Christian. For prayers, Click here
