Wisdom For The Day Devotional 4 May 2025 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – The God You See
TOPIC: The God You See (TREM Devotional 4 May 2025)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2 KJV)
MESSAGE:
Our text states that “now we are sons, but it does not not appear what we shall be…” In other words, when you look around you in the natural, things may not be working the way they ought to. You may be experiencing things that are contrary to that which God has promised you, but I know that it will all turn out in your favor.
Choose to see God at work in your situation, as opposed to the picture the enemy is painting before you. See God the way He is, because you can only manifest at the level of the God you see. What you see is what you get. If you see God as the Healer, then you enjoy healing. If you see Him as the provider, you enjoy divine provision. What do you see?
The Bible keeps on painting pictures of different aspects of God for us to see, so, that we can manifest that aspect to our world. You cannot manifest what you do not see. It does not yet appear… Another word for appear is ‘apparent’, it means open to view, visible, clear or manifest to the understanding. You can now understand the word appearing as having something become actual to the eyes or mind, something made manifest to the senses or mind.
“…now are we the sons of God, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be:…” It has not appeared, it has not become visible to the natural eye yet. But, it won’t stay that way for much longer, very soon it will become visible, everyone will see the physical manifestation according to that which the Word declared.
