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 your mind in scriptures, your capacity for vision will be enhanced. Disciplined reading of scriptures is reading God’s thoughts after Him which expands your capacity to think the thoughts of God necessary to transcend  your convictions and to move you beyond all your present limitations.

You have got to have a renewed mind to experience a new quality of life. This is because your life right now is a reflection of the way you see yourself, because your thoughts are spiritual substance. Therefore I encourage you to renew your mind with the Word of God.

Have you written God’s vision for your life? Do you have a goal for this year? Do you have a goal for this month? What do you see yourself becoming, doing and having. If you have none, you will not achieve anything this year. Ask God to show you His vision for your life, when He does, write it down. When you have a definite vision, it will give you a definite focus that will help you know clearly what you need to achieve in this month, or in this year as a whole.

Prayer: Dear Father, anoint my eyes with your eye salve that I may see clearly what you have ordained for me to achieve this month and this year as a whole in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Further study: Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:23, Acts 2:17.

Doing the Word: Use what God has shown you concerning this year to set goals and to guide your life.
