Anablezo (To Look Up)

Anablezo (To Look Up)

The greek word anablezo simply means to look up. However, it connotes several things;


1. It means to lift up your eyes to God. Psalm 121. It is a way of saying that God is your one and only help.


2. It connotes surrender. It shows that you cannot do anything without God (John 15:5) and thus you surrender ALL your life to Him. It means you take the step of faith to invite Jesus Christ into your life, to reign and rule, thus you relinquish, or surrender all your will to His will. Only then can you say like Paul, that everything I once looked at apart from God, I count it all as lost or dung, so you may obtain Christ.




3. It connotes trust. When you lift up your eyes to God, you are saying that Lord, I trust or want to trust in you (Proverbs 3:5-7). This means that you believe in the existence of God, and you also believe in the power of God. It means by implication, that you believe in the Word of God, and that you can take God at His word, that whatever He has said concerning your life, will definitely come to pass.




Let us consider JOSEPH. In Genesis 37, He received two fabolous dreams, foretelling of unparralled greatness in his life. He was also the favourite son of His father. However in verse 28 of Genesis 37 his dreams and visions, his mission and ambition, started going in the opposite direction to where he expected. HE WAS SOLD AS A SLAVE INTO A FOREIGN COUNTRY WHERE HE KNEW NOBODY, FOR NO FAULT OF HIS!!!


After going through one injustice after another, this great man ended up in prison, where it looked like his destiny and future had been locked up behind bars.However, Joseph knew the power of ANABLEZO and never gave up. Even when tempted by a hot and sexy seductress, He looked up to God and the relationship he had in God and proclaimed "How can I do this great evil and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9). This is ANABLEZO in action. Putting your trust in God to see you through the worst of situations, without looking up to anyone else for a remedy. May we also have the attitude of constant ANABLEZO.


4. ANABLEZO, also connotes, gratitude. It is a sign of thanksgiving. It is an act of acknowledgement. We see that Jesus, in many of His earthly miracles recorded in the Bible, He looked up (ANABLEZO) and gave thanks, or acknowledged God as the true source of all the miracles or blessings, which were to follow. Examples are 
a. When he miraculously fed five thousand with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fishes (Mark 6:41).
b. When he miraculously healed a deaf and dumb man (Mark 7:31-37).
c. When he supernaturally raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:41).


5. From point (4), we see that ANABLEZO, is a requirement for the supernatural to take place in our lives, on a daily basis.
