“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Prov.29:18
Without a vision, a people lack
direction and bearing, and are exposed to all options, alternatives,
uncertainties etc.
Vision gives meaning to life and
living. That’s why life can never be bigger than the vision. The bigger and
clearer the vision, the better, bigger, greater and more relevant the life to
God and man.
It’s important to know that vision is
not an ambition, what I want to achieve or do. It is not goal setting (rather,
goals could be based on vision). Vision is not taught or explained. It can only
be received by revelation from God. It’s a vision because it’s from God. Call
it;
“The revealed plan of God for the
season”
“The word of the Lord to you”
“Having a clear picture of what the
Lord is saying now” etc.
You will be very correct if you call
it any of these. Without a vision, word from God, redemptive revelation of God,
a life is meaningless, can’t count for God, will be of no eternal value. If
vision can only come from God, then, I must go to God to receive it. If living
in 2013 will be with meaning, I must;
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to
see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am approved. And
the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run t hat readeth it.” Hab.2:1-2
Wait on God in prayers, worship,
meditations to SEE, not just hear what He is saying for 2013, the meaning,
relevance is in living out or living by what He is saying or has said for my
life, home, ministry, vocation, world etc.
“Call unto me and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty
things which thou knowest not.” Jer.33:3
He will not just tell but show, give
me a blue print, picture of His plans for 2013 which I can never know unless He
shows me. And all I am committed to is living out that plan in every area of my
life under any condition through the year. My choices, decisions, company
(relationships), language, attitude, actions are all regulated by that revealed
plan or word. That’s life with a meaning, a life of obedience to God that
counts for eternity, a purpose (vision), not one driven by circumstances or
need. That is living by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. This
is so important because only this path will cause us to escape the evil of the
times or day.
Remember;
VISION comes from God
Only a VISION DRIVEN LIFE has meaning
YOUR LIFE cannot be bigger, better
and more relevant to God and man than the VISION you have received.
2013, here I come in the name of the
Lord and more resolved to live a life with meaning all through in Jesus’ name.
