Job 42:5 5“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.
You may have heard of God from a friend or colleague. Perhaps
you continue to hear of Him in church services on Sundays.
Like Job, you say to God, “I have heard of You by the hearing
of the ear.” But God also wants you to be able to say to Him,
“But now my eye sees You.”
When Job told the Lord, “My eye sees You,” he was not saying
that he saw God physically. He was referring to the moment
when he had a personal revelation of God.
Why was it so important for Job to have a personal revelation
of God? You see, God wanted Job to know that without a
personal revelation of Him, the devil could easily steal from
him. But from the moment that Job had a personal revelation of
God, things got a lot better for him, with God restoring to
him double of everything that he had lost. (Job 42:10–16)
There was a lady who was separated from her husband because
he had an affair with his colleague. But when she came to our
church and began to have a personal revelation of God’s
personal love for her, she believed God for the restoration of
her marriage by the end of the year. She did not just hear of
a God who “so loved the world”. (John 3:16) She came to know
the God who so loved her!
Not long after that, her estranged husband started dating her
and was soon falling in love with her all over again. God also
“took care” of the other woman — she resigned from the
company. And on the first of January the following year, the
couple moved back into their matrimonial home, their marriage
now built solidly on God!
My friend, when you are reading your Bible or hearing God’s
Word being preached, and suddenly you exclaim, “I see it,
Lord!” that is when your personal revelation of God has come.
And you are now in a position to receive all that He has for
you!
