TO THE BIBLE
Genesis 30:37
“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.”
LET’S TALK
Think about an artist with a blank canvas. Before a single brush touches the surface, they already have an image in their mind of what the painting will look like. Every stroke is guided by that vision. In the same way, Jacob placed rods before the flocks, shaping what they produced. Jacob’s story in Genesis 30 and 31 is a fascinating demonstration of the power of vision and imagination.
When Jacob agreed to work for Laban, he was promised cattle as wages. However, Laban repeatedly changed the terms and cheated Jacob. But Jacob, through divine wisdom and creative strategy, turned the situation around. Jacob took rods from green poplar, hazel, and chestnut trees and peeled white streaks on them to make the white appear. He placed these rods in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. As the animals mated in front of the rods, they produced offspring that were exactly what Jacob desired. Later, Jacob no longer needed the rods. He separated the young, spotted, and speckled animals and set them before the stronger cattle.
By doing this, he created a vision for the flocks, and they produced according to what they saw. Jacob’s method was a demonstration of the creative power of vision. He used his imaginative ability to influence the outcome. When the stronger cattle conceived, Jacob placed the rods before their eyes, ensuring they produced strong, desirable offspring. When the cattle were feeble, he did not use the rods, so the weaker ones belonged to Laban. Over time, Jacob’s flocks grew stronger and more abundant, while Laban’s remained feeble.
Jacob’s success was by divine revelation. In a dream, he saw the rams leaping on the cattle as ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. An angel confirmed this vision, saying, “…Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray spotted…” (Genesis 31:12). How important this is! As a teenager, you have the ability to create the future you desire by focusing on what you want to see. Create the vision that you want with your mind. Through the Word and power of the Holy Spirit at work in you, you can create or shape your physical reality. Hallelujah!

PRAY
Dear Father, thank you for giving me the ability to see and create my desired future through the power of vision and by your Word.

I’m empowered to impact my world and fulfil my destiny, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
