“OPEN THEIR EYES, LORD!”

Tari sat at the dinner table, surrounded by skeptical faces.

Her father adjusted his glasses.
“You want to start a tech hub in a remote village? Who’s going to use it?”

Her brother chuckled.
“Tari, be realistic. You graduated top of your class, why waste it on an invisible dream?”

Even her fiancé shifted uncomfortably.
⁹“It’s not that I don’t believe in you, love… I just think you’re aiming too high.”

Tari forced a smile, but inside, her heart sank. They just don’t see it…

Meanwhile, in Scripture:

Joseph shared his dream with his brothers, and got mocked, hated, and sold.

David saw victory against Goliath but all Saul saw was a shepherd boy without armor.

Mary received the prophecy of the Messiah, but Joseph only saw a fiancée with a scandalous pregnancy… until God opened his eyes.

Elisha’s servant only saw danger until Elisha prayed, “Lord, open his eyes.”
Then suddenly, he saw Heaven’s armies all around them.

Maybe like Tari, you carry a divine dream that others can’t understand.
Maybe your friends call you obsessed, your spouse thinks you’re unrealistic, your parents wish you would just settle down.

Don’t resent them. Pray for them.

Sometimes, people can’t support your vision because they’re blind to the spiritual blueprint you carry. Their love for you makes them afraid of anything that looks unfamiliar or risky.

But God has a solution:
“Open their eyes, Lord.”

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

• 2 Kings 6:16–17
• Genesis 37:5–11 (Joseph’s dream)
• 1 Samuel 17:33–37 (David before Goliath)
• Matthew 1:20 (Joseph sees Mary’s calling)
• Judges 13:8–11 (Manoah sees the angel)

PRAYER BULLETS:

1. O Lord, open the eyes of my family, friends, and helpers to see what You have shown me, so they may walk in alignment with divine purpose.
2. Every spirit of fear, doubt, and spiritual blindness resisting my vision, be dismantled by fire, in Jesus’ name!
3. Heavenly Father, release divine encounters and clarity to those assigned to support my destiny. Let them see Your hand on my life.
4. Lord, help me remain steadfast in the vision even when no one sees what I see. Let Your confirmation be my anchor.
5. As You opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant, Joseph, and Manoah, open the eyes of my generation to witness Your glory in my calling.

DECLARATION:
I SEE WHAT GOD SEES. OTHERS WILL SOON SEE IT TOO. AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY WILL RUSH TO HELP FULFILL IT. AMEN.
