“Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”
1 Timothy 4:14-15.
If you are going to have your vision fulfilled, there must be contemplation. Contemplation is concentration on spiritual things as a form of private devotion. To contemplate is to consider with focused attention. It refers to thoughtful study or meditation.
Notice in our opening scripture that a prophetic Word had come forth to Timothy but it required contemplation for it to be manifested. So Paul tells him, “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”
Are you aware that all successful people meditate one way or the other? Peter J. Daniels was asked, “How did you achieve all these things?” He replied, “I think.” He schedules one day of the week just to think. Another great leader in the Body of Christ said, “Thinking precedes accomplishments.”
Your mind is the engine room of destiny. Therefore, from what you have learnt today, I encourage you to schedule a time where you meditate on the Word of God because it will help protect your mind. Meditation will also help to protect your mind from all lust that seek to corrupt your imagination in order to cripple your future.
Contemplation or meditation is the key to visible progress. So if you want to make progress, you must make out time to meditate on the Word of God and the vision God has given you. It has been said, “See it first in your mind before you do it.” This is because if you can see it, it becomes inevitable.
Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You anoint my eyes with eye salve to see the glorious future and destiny You have in store for me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
