VISION

4 Parameters to put in place to keep your vision pure

  • If your vision is not pure, God will not put His validation upon it

  1. The Knowledge of God’s will - It’s not just about seeing it’s about seeing in the right direction. Looking forward is foresight, looking backwards is retrogression, looking sideways is distraction. The only way to see in the right direction is to see God’s will for your life. You can see the will of God for other people’s life but do not move in that direction as it may not be the will of God for your life. Speed is not an advantage if you are moving in the wrong direction. In spiritual context, the proof that you have light is that you can see, it’s not just about having light, it’s what you see that validated the light. When we are talikng about seeing the future, 2 things are involved: (1) the ability to see into the future (2) the ability to shape the future. Where you are today is a product of what you saw today and what you said yesterday.

  2. By serving God - becoming a steward of the purposes of God. You must be committed to serving God. Everything we do before people if it is not consistent with who we are when nobody sees us then our life is a lie. Eph 1:18 - the hope of your calling is what encourages you when everybody else backs down and turns away. it is in the strength of the hope that you are willing to up. You keep going until you get a second place called the riches of the glory of the inheritance in the saints. So you continue to move forward to a place where God will transform that hope into progress and prosperity. In the realm of the riches of the glory of the inheritance in the saints, God begins to network resources for that vision through different things e.g., divine direction, divine wisdom, divine prosperity - at this point it is God’s responsibility to make the vision work. All of this happens because of the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God will become a stamina in your spirit - the hope of your calling and the knowledge of God becomes the resources you need to power that vision. And then finally God will now expose you to His exceeding greatness of His power that rose Jesus from the dead. That is the level where you yourself become the answer, whereby when things are not work you can talk them to work. At this level God has given you the power to sustain this vision. All of this is tied to the knoweledge of God - so 3 dimensions of light that we must have to look into the future productively (1) The light that furnishes the will of God (2) the light that furnishes the love of God (3) the light that furnishes the truth of God (4) the light that furnishes the person of God to our soul
