CRAFTING YOUR UNIQUE LIFE-VISION (Part II)
We are all true visionaries. To master life and destiny, we must learn to
SEE ourselves and our uniqueness. God
created each of us with extraordinary gifts.
The key to life is discovering, developing and deploying the primary
reason for our being. Bottom-line: YOU and
I are on this planet for a DIVINE Purpose!
Let’s go further into the dynamic Kingdom Principles
presented by the late great Dr. Myles Munroe:
Kingdom Principle #2:
“Vision is seeing the future now, and preparing to go
there.”
The very fact that we were created in the image and
likeness of God (Genesis 1:26) suggests that we were endowed at birth with
great IMAGINATION, or the ability to SEE and CREATE our future. Therefore, vision is the next best thing to
time travel. God gave us imagination so
we can take a tour of our future, come back to our present, then prepare to go
there! To wit, God is disappointed with
small visions. After all, He is a great
God.
Dr. Myles Munroe taught, “Give God something so big that He
has to act like God to bring it to pass.”
Wow! In the words my missionary
mentor, Dr. John Haggai, “Dare to see a vision that is so large that it is
doomed to failure, save God be in it.”
Wow!
One effective satanic distraction is to cause us to fixate
on present day circumstances. Seeing
yourself as too small and your challenges as too great is a paralyzing activity. The truth is that God gives great vision
while we are small because great things are born in obscure mangers. Think about it.
Every one should craft a personal
vision statement. Why? Because vision
is purpose in pictures. But consider
this: To have true vision, you must close your eyes – because the eyes are the
greatest barrier to divine vision. The
most accomplished athletes take a moment prior to their performance to mentally
envision success. The alpine ski jumper
SEES herself propelling gracefully from the mountain slope and sailing through
the ear with the greatest of excellence and ease.
How do you SEE yourself…and how do you SEE your future? Incidentally, if people laugh at your vision (at
first), that is one wonderful clue that it just might be God-sized, i.e. super-naturally sized, and
that you are right on track. There must
only one initial believer in a true vision; and, that is YOU.
Stay tuned…more to come tomorrow.
