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 world. It was clear, it was part of their philosophy and they were thinking like it. Today Toyota sells more cars than General Motors. They became the number one car seller in the world because they had a clear vision.

Do you have a clear vision? What do you want to achieve? A vision is what you see yourself becoming, doing and having. Write it down clearly. I remember the story of Cassius Clay when he became the world heavy weight boxing champion of the world at 22. When he got the belt, he said, he said it everyday, and he told his Pastor, that "I must be the greatest." It was clear what he wanted to be, he could see it, and he achieved it.

Pele the Brazilian footballer was 9 years old when Brazil lost a world cup final in 1950, when he saw his father in tears, he told his father, "One day, I'll win you the World Cup." At the age of 17 Pele helped Brazil to win the world cup by scoring two goals against Sweden in the final match in 1958. He saw that future when he was 9 years old.

Don't let your vision for a great future die. If you work at, it will surely come to pass.

Prayer.

Dear Father I thank you because you are able to do exceeding abundantly above all that I could ask or think according to your power that is at work in me, in Jesus Name. Amen.
