YOU AND YOUR VISSION

YOU AND YOUR VISSION Text: - Proverb 29:18 Introduction When we are talking about vision we are talking about key to Achievement in Life. THE MAIN SOUCE OF VISSION There is no Vision without source it can come from God and also come from Satan. 1. Vision from Satan is fake, not a true vision, to rob and steal the blessings of the children of God – John 10:10 2. True vision is divinely initiated from God. a. It might not come through dream as Joseph – Gen 37:6-9 b. It might not blinding as on the road of Damascus – Acts 9 c. It might not come as it did with Moses (burning bush) – The true vision that is from God can come through inescapable conviction that there are certain things that have to be accomplished through our life. True vision will be tested – by 1. Many Problem 2. Many adversities 3. It will bring you into conflict with others who try to say it is not from God. Example: - Moses - Acts 7:25- Paul Vision - Acts 26:19 Deviating From Our Vision Paul because of his great desire to see Converted Jews, he failed to stay within the boundaries of God’s vision for him. • The call of Paul – Acts 9:15 In Gal 2:7 He was to be the Apostles of the Gentiles • Paul deviated – Acts 20:20 He started arguing in vs. 19 & 20. 21- Jesus said I sent you to the Gentiles. What you need to do with your vision 1. Write it down - Heb. 2:2 2. Wait for your time - Eccl 3:1; 8:6; 9:11-12; Isa. 33:6 There is time for everything. Our God is the God of time and season, He has program for everything our Lord Jesus also was not made manifest until His fullness of time. We are like athlete, we should be on our tracks, and we are running alone. We cannot all be like Prophet Obadare, Pastor Adeboye, or Pastor Kumuyi. We cannot start where they are now, we must wait for our own time to come and when it comes, and we must not misuse it. What you need to know about time a. Time is perishable - Can be wasted b.

Time is irreplaceable - you cannot replace time with anything f. Time goes unnoticed - It does not look on you g. The misuse of time will affect your future and everything about you 3. Prayer Anybody who doesn’t pray and fast is undisciplined Christian 4. Learn to listen to the voice of the Lord – Ps. 29:3-10 5. Beware of wrong counseling - 1 King 13:7 6. Beware of Competition - 2 Cor. 10:7-13 it leads to jealousy and ill talking. 7. Beware of Sense of arrival - Becoming local champion -1 king 19:9-16, Phil. 3:12-13
