Expand Your Vision

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 54
“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited,” Isaiah 54:2–3.

Expand Your Vision

Father God, we thank you because your thoughts for us are for peace and you think of us above all others. Lord Jesus, thank you for you are always interceding for us. In your mercy, pray that we will have dominion on the earth.

“Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord,” Isaiah 54.

If you are a servant of God, the message of these verses is your heritage. Today, we focus on the verse that encourages us to expand our tent. Many of us are not dominating but are being dominated because we always see merely what is immediately ahead of us. You cannot dominate without first having a vision and then expanding that vision. The Bible says that we should write our vision and make it plain so that others might read it and run with it, Habakkuk 2:2.

Write the best-case scenario for your life. There are angels of God waiting for you to write out this expanded vision so that they can minister to you the favour, breakthrough, and deliverance needed to turn that vision into reality.

Prayer Points:

You cannot begin to think this way without the power of the Holy Spirit that enters you upon salvation. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, pray with me now, “Dear Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you. I confess and forsake my sins. Cleanse me from my sins with your blood and give me the grace to become born again. Write my name in the book of life so that I may begin to dominate.”

Father God Almighty, give us the grace to expand our vision. Make our vision a reality to your glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
