What's God's vision for you.

"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations-- that's what I had in mind for you." 
Jeremiah 1:5(MSG)

Vision is a revelation of God's plan and purpose for your life.

God has a plan for every life because Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” That means, knowing God's plan, gives me hope. So, vision is a promise of hope.

For instance, when God called me, He said; “set forth a standard.” That word reveals my future. Then He said “Raise me a people”. So, I know I have a mandate to raise a people like Jesus. Now I know why I am alive, because God's plan and purpose for your life is the reason why you are alive today.

If you want to know the plan God has  for your life, go to God. he knows it. Your parents and your friends may not know it, but God knows it. For example, my father wanted me to become a Computer Scientist or a Doctor, but God wanted me to be a Pastor. So, go to God for He is the one that knows why you came into the world.

Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

The word 'formed' means to form into shape, to constitute, to fashion. In other words, God is saying here that, before I formed you into shape I knew you. That means God had the picture of you before he formed you. It also means God had a knowledge of you before He made you and set you apart for His plan.

You are a gift to this world. So find out God's plan for your life and begin to live in it today.

Prayer: Father I thank you for your great plans for me before I was born. May each day bring me into a greater understanding of your plan and purpose for my life, that I may walk in the fullness of it. In Jesus Name. Amen.
