the meaning and importance of vision


Introduction:

The word ''vision'' has been so grossly misunderstood today in every aspect of human endeavour to the extent that every dream of the night is mistaken for a vision. On the other hand the ''spiritualist churches'' use ''vision'' as their principal bait to secure followership as the people are in dear need of ''vision''. Every one of their prophet claims to see ''vision'' for people. Multitudes today had been traped, many are chasing after shadows as a result of one form of aclaimed ''vision'' or the other. Many marriages, families, relationships has fallen apart because of the misunderstanding of ''vision''.


The big QUESTION is ''What Then Is Vision? Is it what transpires in a trance or what obtains in one form of ecstacy or the other? The subject of vision is a most crucial one to a successful living. In every aspect of human existence there is always the need for vision, the absence of vision will always give birth to disaster. The word of God says ''where there is no vision the people perish'' The implicaton of this is that if you don't want to perish then have a vision for your life. The word ''perish'' does not mean to physically die, it means ''to be stripped of honour and dignity.''


Therefore we can conclude that ''vision'' is the pathway to honour and dignity in life. Having said that come now with me as we venture into this great asset called ''vision,'' what it is, how it affects you and the potentials therein. Knowing where you are going and what to do to get there generates confidence and boldness. The confident and bold ones are the strong and successful ones in life; they are men and women of extraordinary strenght, and exploits, we have many of them today in our society, men and women who heard ''visions'' and they launched all out to pursue it. They know where they are heading to, they know their end from their begining; location, climate, economic situations does not stop them; they have a solid grip of the control of their life and destiny, they know the end and how to get there. Their confidence and boldness knows no barrier, they run like horse men, they leap like chariots.


Whenever you see them one word comes to mind: ''Achievers.'' Their faces are set before them, eyes fixed on a target in the future. They neither turn to the right nor to the left. To them economic meltdown is a springboard. Inflation does not hold them, lack and want does not know their address. They are mighty men and women of exploits; men and women of valour. Now they are extraordinary men and women, before, they were ordinary men and women until ''vision'' came. Their status has changed when they laid hold on an extraordinary ''vision'' for their life and dare to step out with it. They stepped out, their ''vision'' in sight, confidence and positive mindset with them, above all God in the inside of them. They know their ''vision'' and they know their God.


One of the most unpleasant situations of life is to see men and women who are supposed to be role models begging bread to eat and not being able to achieve anything worth reckoning in life even after being redeemed by Christ; most of them are highly learned. I probed into this and in addition to the experience i had because i dwelt there for many years, i discovered that it is ''ignorance'' they don't know or they know but not enough.
The word of God says: ''My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge....Hosea 4:6''


For this reason i decided to put this revelational teaching on the net so that many that are plaqued with lack of ''vision'' or ''genuine vision'' for their life will woke up from their slumber.

I pray that as you carefully read through this life transforming article and apply them to every area of your life, God will grant you the angelic order of speed in accomplishment of the waste years in the precious name of Jesus Christ...Amen
