Most problems we face on earth as human beings are simply sight problems. God has plans and if He decides not to talk to you about them, His deeds can still reveal His plans.

He can choose to be quiet about His intentions, but you can look at what He is doing and still know His intentions. God speaks to us when He speaks and also when He does His work. You can look at God’s mouth and hear what He is saying or you can look at His hands and observe the work He is doing and still know His intentions.

God speaks through His voice and also through His deeds. Observe the works of God and you will know His intentions. If you look at yourself, your design, you can predict and prophesy God’s intentions for your life.

The problems that we have no matter how many they are or how different they seem to be, they are simply sight problems. If the Lord can help you to open your eyes and see, where you thought you had ten problems it is most likely that you only have one problem which is sight.

Sight is something you need to ask God for. It is not many people who have really asked for sight. We have asked God for more years, more children, weddings and better businesses, but not many people have asked for sight. Imagine what you can begin to see if God opens your eyes right now, eyes you think are open already? There is more to what you can see right now.

One of the strategies I believe the devil has against you is that he either takes away opportunities or he simply blinds you so that you do not see the opportunities that are there. Removing the opportunities or removing your sight, both achieve the same result, you will still remain where you are.

There are many things happening right now around us and in our lives that we cannot see, but still they are taking place. If you think that you have a problem it is because it is only the problem that you can see.

If you keep on looking you will see a different thing because there is no problem that comes to a person who does not have the ability to solve it. Problems behave; they have their character and certain traits.

Every problem has its own nature and there is a universal nature that is planted within every problem; it has to go where it is solved. If it is a Zimbabwean problem, only Zimbabweans can solve it. If you are facing a marital problem, only the married can solve it. The closest problem to you right now is one that you can solve. The one problem that decides to get close to you, undermine you and get into your house, know that it is the problem you were designed by God to solve.

“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind . . . And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within . . .” (Revelation 4:6-8).

Sight is a very interesting subject. We have to understand that this scripture was a revelation given to John at a moment he was physically blind. He is a blind man telling us what he saw. A man without physical eyes could still see and narrate what he saw.

In the scriptures above we hear of three different sets of eyes the beasts had. Each of the beasts had six wings which means they can fly much faster and much higher than any flying bird. They can go far and faster which means they require better view, better sight and better vision. They had eyes behind, which means they can see the past; they had eyes on the front, which means they can have a glimpse into the future; they had eyes within and this shows introspection.

They are very prophetic creatures, they do not just look at what happened or what is going to happen but they also constantly look at what is happening inside of them. The eye within is what I believe most people do not have, that is why they cannot see what they do not have in the inside. You should not underestimate the eye that sees in the inside of you. If you cannot see what is inside of you people are going to decide who are.

You will be afraid and terrified by everything that your outside eye can see. This is the eye that God opens and once He opens it, you will not always look outside when you are faced with challenges. There is an inner eye that looks in the inside of you to see what you have and how God has equipped you for the problems you see outside.

So far I believe these are the eyes most people have not used as yet and they do not know who they are. If you are to have those eyes opened right now and you look at what you have and who you are in the inside, the next thing you will do is smile.

Personally you have to realise that there is no problem bigger than your inward abilities. Whether it is a problem or a person bringing a problem to you, all of them are smaller than the abilities you have inside. If people say anything against you, understand that a person cannot be big and talk about someone small; you have to be smaller to talk about something big. It is a universal principle; small people discuss big people.

If you want to make someone big you will have to discuss him. It is very important to look in the inside of you and know why you go through what you go through. You are big and relevant in the inside, you are an army in the inside and that is why you have forces coming against you. Have you ever wondered why you have so many battles coming against you and yet according to your understanding, you think you are a nobody?

You always ask God why you go through what you go through. You think like that because you do not know who you are. When the devil looks at you he sees a threat in his kingdom. You can cause his operations to shut down in an instant.
