Where there is no
revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds
wisdom’s instruction.
(NIV) If people can’t see what God is
doing, They stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he
reveals, they are most blessed. (Message)
Five
Things Vision Brings:
1. Vision brings definition. Vision defines our decisions on life. Can you form a one-sentence vision statement for your life?
2. Vision brings design. Just like the steps in life: conception, gestation, birth, growth, maturity, and finally reproduction. Previous visions are reproduced into newer and expanded visions – the dream goes on.
3. Vision brings about doing. Nothing happened in the rebuilding of Jerusalem until Nehemiah’s vision took on definition and design. This brought about the motivation to rebuild. Doing the vision serves as a witness to other believers and to the world who is watching.
4. Vision brings direction. Where are you headed? Personal vision guides your life.
5. Vision brings dependence. Visions should be God-sized so there is no way for them to be accomplished without Him. The Lord sees our potential.
God wants us to be and do His thing! (if not we’ll go back to a visionless life).
The Lord says, See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:19
Allow
this vision to be birthed and grow in your life.
Seek
the Lord – you will find Him.
