JANUARY 2025 Edition 3 | Power of vision
Beloved, as we embrace this year’s theme Settle, it is essential to understand that true settlement begins with vision. Vision is seeing your future before you get there, and without it, you will drift aimlessly through life.
The Three F’s of Vision
Every vision goes through three critical stages: Finding your vision, focusing on your vision, and Fighting for your vision. These three steps act as a guide to ensuring that you not only discover your purpose but also stay on course and overcome obstacles until your vision becomes a reality.
1. Find your Vision
Just as manufacturers create with purpose, we too must live with intention. We were not called to be mere consumers but to be creators, givers and builders. There are different types of vision—personal, corporate, and even global—but whatever vision God has placed in your heart, you must identify it and run with it (Habakkuk 2:2).
2. Focus on your Vision
Distractions are the enemies of destiny. Joseph had a vision of greatness, but when he shared it prematurely, his brothers tried to destroy him. Nehemiah faced intense opposition when rebuilding the walls, yet he refused to be discouraged. Likewise, stay focused, refuse to be diverted, and do not allow negative voices to shake your faith. The only thing that is permanent is God’s Word—your trials will pass!
3. Fight for Your Vision
A God-given vision will always face opposition, but you must be willing to fight. The kingdom of God suffers violence, and only the violent take it by force (Matthew 11:12). Nehemiah and his fellow builders worked with one hand while holding a weapon in the other (Nehemiah 4:17)—this is the mindset you must adopt.
- Fight for your family and loved ones who do not yet know Christ.
- Fight for your ministry and your calling.
- Fight for your health, your dreams, and your destiny.
- Fight against discouragement, opposition, and fear.
Change Your Self-Talk!
What you say to yourself matters more than what anyone else says to you, even your pastor. Change your self-talk—speak like a believer and transform your life forever. The woman with the issue of blood declared, “If I touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole”—and she was! Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ”—and clearly he did! Stop speaking doubt and start declaring victory.
The Fight Doesn’t End Until the Promise is Fulfilled!
The most difficult time is between the promise and its fulfillment. But remember, God has the blueprint—He sees the finished work. Do not fear; stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!
