THE POWER OF VISION (2)
Dear Reader,
Peace and blessings, in Jesus name! When a man’s life is blurred and there is no clearance on the questions of what, how, where, and when; such life remains in oblivion. Therefore, God has prompted that I bring you the second edition of the series ‘The Power of Vision’ today; ensure you grasp all that God has in this subject for you.
However, as earlier said in the first edition, God has a master plan for your life. You are not expected to merely exist, or being tossed to and fro by time and chance. God has a detailed atlas for your destiny; hence it is pertinent for you to discover the plan. Therefore, I will buttress further on the requirements for accessing and discovering vision.
Requirements For Accessing Vision
- Engage The Force Of Prayer And Fasting
The altar of prayer is the altar of encounter and transformation. It can also be said to be a delivery room where visions are birthed. Habakkuk 2:1-2 states thus, I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Descriptively the Bible showed a clear picture of a delivery room in Isaiah 66:8, Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. It is only when you travail in the place of prayer, before your vision will be birthed.
- Engage The Word
God’s written Word (The Bible) is the spoken Word of God. The Bible states in Psalm 119:99-100, 105, I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. The Bible passage above opens your eyes to discover your vision. Every issue of concern is embedded in the Bible; so, until you study the Word you may never discover your vision. More so, the Bible says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not (John 1:1-5).This connotes that the Word has the ability to uncover every hidden thing around your life including your vision.
- Engage The Holy Spirit
The Bible says, But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God (1Corinthians 2:10). The Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of life, He makes every hidden thing known to you by revealing them. Until you engage the Holy Spirit, you will not be able to discover and access the vision God has for you. You have to be filled with the Holy Spirit for you to access His leading; however, His leading unveils your vision. The evidence of the Holy Spirit in your life brings a transformation, this connotes walking in the fear of God and obedience to His Word. It is written, What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose (Psalm 25:12). This means, we cannot live carnal lives and access divine plan. For it is written, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). A natural man, no matter your level of education or knowledge cannot access vision. You must be filled with the Spirit in order to access it. Therefore, you must tune in spiritually to hear what the Spirit of God is saying or showing you always.
- Be Born Again
Being born again is the only way to unveil the requirements for accessing vision. This is done when you have to acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour. It is pertinent to establish a genuine relationship with God by accepting Jesus today. You are to give Jesus the opportunity to be the Lord over your life? If you have made this decision, you can say this prayer of faith: Father, I realise that I have been a sinner. Today I believe You died and rose on the third day redeeming me from all my sins. Now I accept You as my personal Lord and Saviour, save me and accept me as Your child, write my name in the book of life. Thank You Father for saving me, in Jesus name!
