If you can see it….

“And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.” Genesis 30:37-39 KJV.

If you can see it, you can become it. Jacob's strategy with the rods in Genesis 30:37-39 is not just about animal breeding; it is a powerful metaphor for the principle of vision. He placed before the flocks a patterned image they would look at while conceiving, and they produced offspring that mirrored what they saw. This spiritual truth runs deep: what you behold, you begin to become. God told Jeremiah, “What do you see?” and then affirmed, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it” (Jeremiah 1:11-12). Your life moves in the direction of your dominant vision.

To live a victorious and purpose-filled life, guard and guide what your mind sees or pictures. Renew your mind daily (Romans 12:2) through meditation, prayer, and feeding on the Word of God. Habakkuk was told to write the vision plainly so it could run (Habakkuk 2:2–3). This means clarity of vision fuels purposeful motion. Your thinking gives your mind a sight and eventually determines your life (Proverbs 23:7).  Sight births faith, and faith births manifestation. See well, and you will live well.

Prophetic word: Beloved, the Lord says, “Lift up your eyes from where you are and see beyond your present limitations. I am opening your eyes to divine possibilities. The barriers you see are melting away in the light of your renewed vision. I am giving you eyes to see your inheritance, your breakthrough, your healing, and your purpose. What you dare to see, I will cause to spring forth. As you behold, you shall become. I am releasing prophetic insight to you, see with the eyes of the Spirit, for I am hastening My Word to perform it in your life.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who opens eyes and reveals hidden treasures. Lord, I surrender the eyes of my mind to You. Remove every veil of doubt, fear, and limitation. Open my eyes to see the resources, opportunities, and divine strategies around me. I decree that I see well, I think well, and I live well, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, Amen.
