The Holy Bible speaks of the importance of VISION
Without it people will perish
If I have a vision it will give me:
DIRECTIONS
PURPOSE AND MEANING
CLARITY
FOCUS
ORDER
PRIORITY
WHAT IS YOUR VISION? DO YOU KNOW IT OR DO YOU HAVE ONE?
Anong mga bagay sa nakalipas na tatlong buwan ang iyong ginastahan,pinagbuhusan ng oras o pinagkaabalahan, inisip,pinuntahan.
Then ask your self. Does this activities flowing to the vision I set in my life?
VISION IS NOT WHERE WE ARE NOW BUT WHERE WE ARE HEADING
(John 14:1-2)
We must see what God sees. Because doing something out of God’s vision is only a selfish ambition.
text: mark 9:46-52
The life of Bartimeous.
Born blind, and his blindness brought desperation.
He knows where to find help.
He cried a for a VISION (The people silenced him)
But he cried out even more
Jesus heard his cry (God is always waiting for our cry of desperation)
The attention of Jesus silenced the crowd
Bartimeous don’t ask for anything, he wants his vision, because he knows that vision is life.
Aminin natin na ang pangunahin nating kailangan ngayon ay malinaw na direksyon.
God don’t want us to walk blind. He wants to give us a blueprint to follow but how can we obey if we can’t see it.
Example of vision out of focus;
1.Paul formerly known as Saul.
Example of focused vision;
2.Noah swimming in the right direction
The world told him that he is a fool because the world is swimming in the opposite direction.
Joseph son of Jacob.
It is important to realize that vision set phase:
Let us study the life of Joseph
Under the authority of his brother he was sold to the Egyptian trader
Under the authority of the trader he was sold to Potiphar
Under the authority of Potiphar he was seduced and later imprisoned
Under the authority of his fellow prisoner was given false promises
Under the authority of Pharaoh he was blessed
The fulfillment of the vision happened when his brothers bow before him.
Character training is needed for the fulfillment of the vision.
God is ultimately concerned with the development of our character, and He will often use difficult people to bring it about. Places of difficult experiences were God’s CLASSROOMS to prepare us in his purpose.
We must not conform on being blind. We must ask God for a vision, guard it, communicate it and ask the Holy Spirit to sustain it.
The world of a blind man is limited with his touch but the world of a great man is limited with his vision.
