Your imagination

“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6 One of the words for imagine in the Hebrew is the word 'yetser' it refers to conception. This means that whatever you are imagining is what you are conceiving. I will not be able to change your life, your conduct, or your character until I change the way you see yourself. In Genesis 6:5 the Bible says, “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was...

See from your spirit.

"And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." Genesis 13:14-15 From our opening scripture God told Abram to look northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward from one point. It is evident that he couldn't have been able to see all these vast lands with his physical eyes from one point. He could only have seen...

Seeing from God's perspective

"By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible." Hebrews 11:27 Faith is seeing yourself from God's perspective. It has been proven in psychology that perception decides reality. The way you perceive life is the way you will respond to life. There are some people who believe that they are going to be poor and broke, therefore since they see themselves that way, no matter how hard they try to change their situation they will come back to being poor. When you hear some people speak...

Seeing the unseen

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."                   2 Corinthians 4:18 One of the reasons God gave us His Word is to form new pictures in our minds, because your present behavior is consistent with the way you see yourself. What you are attracting as an individual is also based on what you see in your spirit. Paul...

What are you seeing?

"And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, …" Genesis 15:2 From our opening scripture we see that Abram was seeing wrongly because he was seeing himself go childless. As long as he kept seeing himself that way, God's word concerning him that he will be made the father of many nations will not come to pass. So God had to change the inner picture of his future. If God doesn't change the inner picture you have of your future, the future that God has planned will never happen. The children of Israel died in the wilderness;...

Know your identity.

"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." Jeremiah 1:5 God speaks in our opening scripture to you saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; …" The word 'knew' there is from the Hebrew word 'Yada' which refers to an intimate knowledge. Yada also means to 'ascertain by seeing.' This means that you were born because God had a vision of you. This means that we could read Jeremiah 1:5 this way, 'Before I formed you...

Knowing God's vision.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, …" Acts 2:17 One of the things that the Holy Spirit came to do in our lives is to enable us to see visions. The Holy Spirit came to give us a vision for our lives. That is why as a young person it is important you are able to get a hold of God's vision for your life from an early age. The Bible says in Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people...

Do you question the Word.

"And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?" Acts 2:12 The basis for doubt as seen in our opening scripture is questioning the Word of God. Doubt begins to grow in our hearts when we begin to question the Word of God. One of the root meanings of the word 'doubt' means 'to double or to vacillate between two opinions.' That is why certainty is anchored on clarity. When satan tempted Eve in Genesis 3:1, he began by questioning the integrity of the Word of God. Therefore the areas of your life...

Vision determines what you receive. "And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever." Genesis 13:14-15 It matters who you are associating with because there are people who will blind you. For instance, the name Lot means veil or covering. So there are some friends you have to detach yourself from. This is because your association...

Have a written focus

"Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:" Isaiah 30:8 Many people don't like to write, but today I want to encourage you to write down your vision in a book. Have a book where you write down the great things God have shown you, what you are expecting and what you want your life to be like. Do you know that God writes down His visions? That is what is documented in the Bible for us. The Bible begins with a revelation of the past and ends with a revelation of the future. This...

Vision unlocks prosperity and greatness.

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: …" Proverbs 23:7 Many people are poor today not because poverty is so powerful, they are poor and in bondage to poverty because of the vision they have. They remain poor because they are limited in their thinking. They cannot see themselves any better, they cannot see themselves getting greater, they cannot see themselves moving forward, as a result they do not have anything worth living for therefore their lives lack inspiration. When you have a vision you would have a drive and the motivation to...

See yourself the way God sees you.

"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." Psalm 82:6-7 Our opening scripture shows us that our limitations are based on the way we see ourselves. You rise or fall to the size of your vision. You are either limited by your vision or you are empowered by your vision. This is because your life is moving in the direction of your vision or what you see in your mind. God called them gods in our opening scripture but they died like men and fell like one...

The necessity of vision.

"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." John 4:34 What you are willing to die for is what you will live for. God spoke to me in 1999 saying, "the man that has nothing to die for, has nothing to live for." I remember when I said that to a friend of mine at that time, he said to me, "you must have heard that from Martin Lurther" I said, "no God told me that." Martin Lurther actually said, "the man that has nothing to die for is not fit to live." Have you ever thought of what you will...

What do you see? "And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour." Joshua 6:2 Our opening scripture shows us that Joshua needed to have the mental picture of Jericho been defeated with her king and the mighty men before he actually took the city. This is because your vision is what decides your reality. I remember the story of the lady that became Miss America some years ago. Before she contested for Miss America, she got the previous videos of the beauty pageant,...

Vision the essence of life.

“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakuk 2:2 Your vision is not merely your wants, wishes or your desires, your vision is the mental picture of a preferable future. This is why you have to train your mind differently by renewing your mind with the Word of God, so you can think God’s thoughts concerning what He desires from you to be, do or have. Your vision is the bridge between your present and the future. Therefore by saturating...

Make it plain 2.

"Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; …" Genesis 49:4 One of the reasons we see in our opening scripture why Reuben the first son of Jacob could not excel was because he was unstable. Do you understand clearly what you want out of life? Don't live your life without having a clear focus. There are those who are always drifting in life, today they want to be this, tomorrow they want to be some thing else. They live their lives without a focus and a clear vision. Be focused and definite about your life. You ought to be clear concerning what...

Make it plain 1

"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." Habakkuk 2:2 Today, I want to encourage you to write down your vision and make it plain. How do you make it plain? That is where goal setting comes in. You must set daily goals that will lead you to the fulfillment of your vision. Write down your vision for the year in such a way that you can see it with your mind's eyes. It amazed me when I discovered that Toyota had a dream of becoming the number one company in the...

Let vision guide you. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: …” Proverbs 29:18 Vision is a mental picture of a preferable future. It means to see mentally or to see in your mind. The Spanish translation says that where there is no vision the people run like wild horses. That means vision gives you focus. Without a vision, you will have no focus. Do you know what you want to achieve in the next five years, in the next two years, or even at the end of this year? What do you see?Vision is the essence of life because vision is a revelation of...

A global vision.

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8 From our opening scripture, we see from the words of Jesus that He gave to us a global vision because He asked us to be witnesses for Him not just in Jerusalem, Judaea and Samaria, but to the uttermost parts of the earth. This is why if you are a child of God reading this today, you must learn to think beyond you because Jesus did...

The gospel – the power of God.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 The gospel is a universal message; it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes it. The Bible reveals to us that there is only one gospel that brings salvation to all, and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every other gospel cannot give salvation. Jesus said in Mark 16:15-18,20, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature....

Go into the kosmos. “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”Mark 16:15 The word ‘world’ in our opening scripture is from the Greek word ‘kosmos’ which means orderly arrangement, decoration, the inhabitants of the earth. This implies that God wants us to go into the orderly social arrangement of the world and impact every sphere of society with the gospel. For instance, there are seven social arrangements. They are; 1. Family.2. Religion.3. Education.4. Government and Politics.5. Business...

Teach all nations.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Matthew 28:19 Our opening scripture sums up God’s vision. In this context we shall define vision as God’s redemptive plan and your role in it. Every Christian has a role in God’s redemptive plan. One of our roles is to ‘teach all nations.’ The word ‘teach’ in our opening scripture is from the Greek word ‘matheteuo’ it means to make disciples, to become a pupil, to enroll as a scholar, to instruct. This means that when...

Living for His will.

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34 Nothing else would give you any greater fulfillment in life other than finding God’s will for your life. For instance I am not considering any political office, because that will mean walking away from God’s purpose for my life. God told me that the true measure of success is the fulfillment of His purpose for your life. A television set is not successful if it is not working. Therefore until you live out the reason why you were...

Vision unlocks potential.

“And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.” Judges 6:12 Today I want you to understand that God’s vision for your life unlocks your potential. Gideon did not know his potential and value until God’s vision and purpose for his life was made known to him. Judges 6:14 revealed to Gideon God’s plan and purpose for his life, the Bible says, “And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I...
