The Secret to Destiny: Vision Is Needed to Succeed

Vision is necessary! Whether you are in the beginning stages of starting a career, or are at the pinnacle in your ministry, it is imperative that you have vision every step of the way.


What is vision? 
The act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be; the act or power of sensing with the eyes; sight. 



We have to see where we want to be before we start our journey and before we get there. Faith is the 'power of sensing with the eyes' (spiritual eyes), seeing the unseen, "..things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (with the natural eye)" (Hebrews 11:1). 


No one as a child expected or longed to be lonely, depressed or in a financial bind when they grew up. But some where along the way we began to see things differently than we did then.


Yes I know, you grow up and life takes place. The throwing of curve balls, disappointments and the great ups and downs. But where did we forget to get back up again (just like a child learning to ride a bike).


We allow the negative things in life to alter our perception (vision) of where we see ourselves in the future. Then we begin to accept the failures as if they have authority over us and not the other way around.


Your vision (great expectation, "the anticipation that...will.....be") should remain despite your current or past faults and regrets. If we loose it then we loose hope. And that is where we begin to lose.


Let it be clear that there is no one that can force you to give up on your dreams and desires. The vision has to be given away (or given up) by the visionary. It is your responsibility to guard your heart which is where the vision lies.


I've said this before, if you write down the vision clearly (Habakkuk 2:2), you will never forget what it is your are striving for. It will also encourage you when you are at your lowest. It reminds you of who you are, what you are working for, and make you accountable to self concerning it.


But when you don't have vision at all, it becomes a dangerous, spiraling out of control life that will cause nothing but confusion and keep you in a stagnant, complacent place that will give you an uninspired life. Nobody wants that.


It is not too late for you that have no vision. Picture yourself where you want to be, not where you think you could be. There is a difference. Vision stretches you and takes you out of your comfort zone while allowing you to mature and grow. 


It makes you want to press harder through all the unnecessaries of life. Become that great singer, business person, minister, mother etc. that you desire to be. IT IS NOT TOO LATE! Just do it already (in love people, in love).


Vision is the foundation of success! Every person must have it, from the least of them to the greatest of them. YOU MUST HAVE IT! The vision never changes, it just get clearer and more precise as God begins to reveal more to you in part. 


See it, claim it, protect it and watch it manifest in your life. The vision is yours, so what are you willing to do with it?
