“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 kJV
If people perish when there is no vision, what then is Vision?
The English dictionary defines it as “ the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom”
It is the mental picture of what the future will or could be like.
In simple term Vision can be said to be knowing where you are (now), where you are going and how to get there. It is seeing the future, in the present built on the past.
God desires that you become great in life, but this will not come to pass except you are on the right track and you key into God's purpose for your life
A life without a clear vision can be likened to a commercial vehicle without a destination. Only a fool will enter such a car no matter the urgency of the journey.
You have only one life to live and you cannot afford to gamble or waste it due to ignorance or careless living.
A man of vision is a man of possibilities, he sees what is invisible to others.
A man with a vision is a man with the powers of hindsight, foresight and insight.
Life is governed by principles and laws and
“ He that keepeth the law happy is he” Pr 29:18b
There are guiding principles from the scripture that must be followed.
“I will stand like a guard and watch. I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me. I will wait and learn how he answers my questions. The Lord answered me, “Write down what I show you. Write it clearly on a sign so that the message will be easy to read. This message is about a special time in the future. This message is about the end, and it will come true. Just be patient and wait for it. That time will come; it will not be late.”
Habakkuk 2:1-3 ERV
The 7 Ps of fulfilling your vision;
1. Purpose -
" I will stand like a guard and watch
It is of great importance to watch, discover and understand God's purpose for your life.
When purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable.
Purpose is the motive behind an action. Purpose controls results.
How? You can tell this when you want to put salt in a food. Without much ado, you already have it in mind that the salt is there to make the food tasty - purpose. The result you get is a tastier food.
*Purpose gives direction and focus to your life
* Purpose prevents distraction
* Purpose motivates you for greater exploit
* Purpose prepares you for greater glory
Purpose is a necessity when it comes to activating the vision in your heart. You need to know exactly WHY you are doing WHAT before you get the result you seek.
2. Passion -
Your passion keeps you waiting on your belief until you get a positive outcome. One thing is common in the life of Giants, It is not victory nor success but PASSION. Only Passion; great passion can elevate the soul to great things.
Passion is likened to a fuel poured in a flame of fire. You can relate how fiercely it will burn. That is passion. It is a fuel. It is a driving force.
3. Planning/ Programme -
" Write it clearly on a sign that the message will be easy to read"
This involves breaking the vision into specific, measurable and achievable goals. A man with a vision is not a mere dreamer, you need to set up specific short term and long term goal to be great in life.
Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail.
No vision can function in the absence of adequate planning. Pay keen attention to programming your steps towards the actualization of your vision.
4. Pursuit -
The purpose of making it easy to read is for easy implementation. You begin to take practical step by step actions not giving room for any distractions along the way .
The results you get for your life is in tandem with the level of pursuit you give to it
Your vision will remain a dream until you make a move towards it becoming a reality. Nothing moves until you move.
Pursue your vision tirelessly and watch it come to a reality.
5. Patience - " Just be patient and wait for it"
There is always an incubation period between the time a bird lays it's eggs and is hatched.
A pregnant woman waits 9 months between the day of conception and delivery before she can hold her baby.
This is the natural order of life, there is always a waiting period.
Patience is about endurance, perseverance, long suffering, readiness to wait on God and for God's time. Many people are in a hurry, they look for shortcut and end up destroying and missing the great and glorious plan which God has for them.
The results another man get doing the same thing you are doing might not be the same for you. Understand this and be patient.
Patience is a virtue you must hold dearly so as not to do what will make God rescind His decision over your life.
It may take time for your vision to transit into reality but with patience, your
time of fulfiment will come.
6. Prayer -
During your waiting period what do you do? You pray.
“So I tell you to ask for what you want in prayer. And if you believe that you have received those things, then they will be yours.”
Mark 11:24 ERV
The prayer altar is where your vision is spiritually birthed.
He is waiting, ready and willing to listen to our worries, concern and needs.
“We can come to God with no doubts. This means that when we ask God for things (and those things agree with what God wants for us), God cares about what we say. He listens to us every time we ask him. So we know that he gives us whatever we ask from him.”
1 John 5:14-15 ERV
Therefore a man of vision must be a man of prayer. 4:6-7
Praise - " That time will come"
Having done all other things you must live a life of praise with the assurance that God is able to do what He says he will do.
“So you must tell them this: ‘The Lord GOD says, I will not delay any longer. If I say something will happen, it will happen!’” This is what the Lord GOD said.”
Ezekiel 12:28 ERV
Every man of vision must be willing to pay the price in order to win the prize of a glorious and profitable future.
Greatness is neither free nor cheap. It will cost you something valuable and you must be ready to pay.
No matter your background, your past mistake or the present and preserved future challenges, you can get to the top and posses a glorious future if you run with divine vision.
Keep the vision alive!
I prophesy in the name that is above every other name that your divine vision will come to fulfillment.
Shalom!
