Message Title: What is your vision?
By Seer Abraham Richard
Praise the LORD, Child of God! Today, I want us to hear what the Spirit of the LORD is saying concerning vision. Let us begin with the Word of God from the book of Amos chapter 3 verse 3: Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
Child of God, I tell you the truth: Where there is no vision from God, people perish (Hosea 4:6). As you read this message, I ask you: Whose vision are you following? As a believer, you are not called to follow your own plans, you are called to follow the vision of Christ Jesus.
In whatever you pursue, whether in your family, calling, ministry, marriage, or business, you must always seek God’s vision. Before you take any step, ask yourself:“What does Christ expect from me?” When you do this, you walk in agreement with Him.
Many conflicts you see today; in families, in businesses, in ministries and the world, they are not accidents. They come from differences in vision. When people with different visions come together, conflict is inevitable. You may have seen businesses that start strong but later collapse.
Why does this happen? It is often because:Because people thought they shared the same vision, but in truth, they only shared the same situation. Let me give you an illustration:
Two people may both be struggling or jobless and they decide to start a business together. However, one of them never had that vision in their heart. With time, disagreements must arise. Why? Because it was not vision that united them, it was circumstance.
The good news is that: When people with the same vision come together, nothing can stop them! Challenges will come, yes—but those challenges will only make them stronger. There is power in unity when that unity is built on one vision in the LORD.
It is rare to find someone who truly shares your God-given vision. When you find such a person, recognize it as the Grace of God. When you walk and work together faithfully, God’s Glory will be revealed through that vision. I will be honest with you, following God’s vision is not easy.
You will face challenges, even from your own people. Look at the life of Joseph (Genesis 37). He was hated and rejected all because of the vision God gave him. Even our Lord Christ Jesus faced opposition while doing His Father’s Will. So if people rise against you, do not be surprised!
When many people stand against you, it does not mean you are wrong. Instead, it gives you an opportunity to: stand firm, remain faithful and prove the vision through results. In time, the same people may come to understand and accept what God showed you.
Child of God, I want to encourage you today, because when you are walking in God’s vision. He will send help, strengthen you and He will not allow you to be put to shame. God always stands behind His vision. Do not forget that there is a price you have to pay for this vision to be filled.
A person with a true vision is willing to let go of anything to fulfill it. The vision the LORD gave you requires commitment, sacrifice and persistence until it is fulfilled. On the other hand when you walk outside of God’s vision, something dangerous happens.
The people who once opposed you may suddenly support you and things may start becoming easy. However, inside you: There will be emptiness, there will be no peace and your inner man who is the most important will not be satisfied. Even if everything looks good outwardly, your spirit will know the truth.
Let me leave you with two truths: If your vision fails because of challenges, then you did not truly believe in it. Second: anyone can receive a vision, but greatness comes from working on it until it is fulfilled.
So today, Child of God, choose to walk in God’s vision. Stay faithful, focused and committed.because in the end, the vision of God will always prevail
