Right Perspective by Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Topic: Right Perspective
The greatest enemy of man’s destiny is to have a wrong perspective. Many have wrong perspectives to life and that has affected their destinies. The Bible says that the path of the just is like a shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). Believe what the Bible says and not what people or philosophy say!
Some people say that “Marriage is full of troubles but my Bible tells me that His blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow to it (Proverbs 10:22). What you believe is what you become. What we have in God (as covenant children) are promises, not problems. Your perspective determines your bearing and consequently defines your future.
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
What you think is what you become. Somebody is about to graduate from school and in his heart he already believes he is not going to get a job. He says “In Nigeria, only those who have connections get jobs”. What a wrong perspective! Meanwhile the Bible has assured us that if God be for us, no one can be against us (Romans 8:31). No knowledge of God can have any value in your life when you have the wrong perspective. Many are not benefiting from the word of God because of wrong perspective. Do not expect anything from God when your perspective contradicts His Word.

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
God responds to our thoughts as well. When you are praying right and thinking wrong, your prayers will not be answered. What is your perspective? Many think wrong and they believe God can make things right for them. No! What you are looking for is not going to come from abroad but from above (James 1:17).
In the school of dominion, perspective is a vital force. You can never change your life until your perspective is right. God will respond to your thoughts the same way He will respond to your prayers. Start to think right. Your dominion is a function of your perspective, so wake up! Begin to see far.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
The things you think are the things you possess. Stop imagining evil. Stop imagining small things. Start imagining big things.
Genesis 11:6 (KJV) And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Your imagination is what gives you your destination; it sets the pace for where you are going. Your destiny is molded by your perspective.
Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.
Can you see where you are going? You have a future; do not sympathize with yourself! Whatever challenge you are facing right now is just a passing phase. Do not allow it to trouble you. No matter how meager the meal you have to take now, have the perspective of someone sitting down to a sumptuous meal. Have a perspective of a man or woman God has blessed.
Begin now to see what God has ordained for you. I command your understanding to be opened. From this day, as you read from God’s Word, whatever you see, your hands will handle! I command every wrong perspective you have had hitherto to be crushed in Jesus name. Amen!
God bless you
