TWELVE(12) THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT YOUR VISION TO OVERCOME FEAR
Before considering this, know surely that God will only oversee the fulfillment of the vision given by Him.
Text: Habakkuk 2:1-3 KJV
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 reproved. [2] And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.[3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
(i) Vision speak at the end not at the beginning.
Habakkuk 2:3 KJV
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
For instance if you have a vision to have a big tree in your compound. You proceed by planting the seed of the big tree you wish.
You can't expect the seed of the big tree to turn to a big tree that same day you planted it.It takes a longer period of days before your dream of having a big tree can be fulfilled so also your vision of becoming what God have destine you to be.
N.B It is at the end you see the realization of your vision not at the beginning, you don't be a graduate on your matriculation day until after your study years.
(ii) Work precede realization of your vision:
Genesis 8:22 KJV
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Did you notice that it is seedtime before harvest not harvest before seedtime.This connote that if you don't plant(work) in the seedtime you are not eligible to harvest(seeing the realization of your vision).
You must know that you are to work toward the realization of your vision.
No vision can get fulfilled on its own without your engagement. If you don't workout the realization of your vision and you are waiting for the vision to get fulfilled on it's own accord, you will wait till the time that you and the vision will die.
Remember YOU ARE TO WORK OUT YOUR VISION SO AS TO SEE THE REALIZATION OF YOUR VISION.
"you don't wait for things to happen, you either make them happen or they never happen" Bishop David Oyedepo
Your vision is always calling on you to invest your best Ecclesiastes 5:3 KJV
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
(iii) Every vision is attainable through consistent practice and unending crave for advancement of your vision prove through hardwork and believing things can be better.
Don't ever think you have reach your peak so that you won't become obsolete always upgrade and update yourself, you are meant to increase.
(iv)That your vision doesn't work at the beginning doesn't connote that your vision won't work. Encountering challenges in fulfilling your vision doesn't mean your vision is futile. Please wait till the end because at the end it shall surely speak.
(v) You are to start from where you are so that you can get to where you are going to: Don't wait till the time you meet a specific standard requirements in any respect before you start fulfilling your vision e.g money, material things e.t.c.
Utilising the small resources with you is the secret of proving to God that you are qualify and capable to manage bigger provisions likewise is a way of asking for bigger blessings from God.
You must praise God for the little you have, their is no excuse for not starting with the little you have.
START LOCALLY TO END GLOBALLY, START FROM SMALL TO END GREART.
(vi) You mustn't despise your small beginning:
Everything BIG start from being SMALL, let joy flow in your mind when you are running you are running your BIG VISION that start from being SMALL.
(vii)Understand that small beginning doesn't connote small vision: for instance the World largest Church; Yoido Full Gospel Church in South Korea founded by Pastor Yonggi Cho having a membership of over 800, 000 started with 5 members in 1958.
(viii) You can't reach the top the day you start: You must know that you can only claim the possession of the top through continious and consistent practice backup with resilence spirit (ability to refire after fallen. Know this surely that patience is needed in this race).
(ix) Holy spirit is meant to be involve in all facet(aspect) of your life including your vision not only your spiritual life. STOP LIMITING AND RESTRICTING HIS PERFORMANCE.WHEN YOU INVOLVE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL RAMIFICATION YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FOR, WHEN YOU NEGLECT HIM YOU WILL FEAR FOR ALL THING.
(x) Your supernatural nature must serve(enable) you to pay price: It take grace to pay every price success demanded. You must engage(apply) every good gift you have receive from God and use them to pay the price that the fulfillment of your vision will require.
Paul was the greatest apostle because he was bestow with grace to labour(pay price than every other apostle)
1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Always ask for grace to pay more great price so that you vision can be fulfilled, stop giving excuses. Every resources Christ has given to you are given so that you can labour more, stop waisting the riches of Christ and don't give excuse.The riches of Christ are not given to promote your lavish act. Always ask for more grace to pay higher price success demanded.
(xi) Your faith is not enough for the fulfillment of your purpose: 2 Peter 1:4-10 KJV
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; [6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; [7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. [8] For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. [10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.
You must meet all the above requirements to fulfill your vision. Virtue(good character) is one of the greatest thing that sustain the fulfillment of your vision.
(xii) ADEQUATE PLANNING BIRTH THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR VISION:
Proverbs 14:8 KJV
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
Don't just know your vision, know the way you are to ply to fulfill them.
Plan can be define as your set down way to follow so that your vision can be fulfilled. Vision without plan is dead, when you are making your plan, please make a realistic and futuristic plan. Never plan on another man resources, plan only what you have at hand not what you are expecting or what you borrow.
Divide your plan into time slot and pursue them with all your effort and strength.
GOD CAN NEVER PLAN FOR YOU, ALWAYS MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO FULFILL YOUR VISION AND DON'T HANDOVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY ONE REMEMBER VISION WITHOUT PLAN IS DEAD.
N.B ON YOUR JOURNEY TO THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR VISION, DON'T GET SATISFIED, BETTER THINGS ALWAYS LIES AHEAD. THE MORE YOU CHASE YOUR VISION THE MORE YOU REALIZE YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
NEVER STOP SO THAT YOU WON'T BE OBSOLETE.
