VISIONARY
11th September, 2021
READ: Hebrews 11:7-13, 24-27
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18
The greatest secret about vision is this: Your vision will make you into what you desire to become. Every great leader moves towards the vision and goal that he has set.
Your vision is what drives you and propels you on. It is what I see ahead that keeps me going. In my mind’s eye, I see a megachurch! I see thousands of people being brought to Christ. I see many miracles taking place in my life and ministry. You do not make your vision; it is your vision that makes you!
What is the key to having a great vision? I’ll give you a good secret. Look around you and see anyone doing the things you like to do. Make it your vision to achieve what that person has achieved and more. Without a vision, you will flounder in the sea of aimlessness.
Be loyal to your vision. Nobody wants to follow someone who is unpredictable. Many years ago, I declared my interest in soul winning and establishing people in Christ. I am still moving with the same vision.
Keep the same vision. The Bible teaches that you should not associate with people who are prone to sudden mutations and sharp turns. It is dangerous to sit in a car when the driver constantly makes sudden turns.
My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
Proverbs 24:21
