Be A Man Of Vision Will Fulfil Divine Purpose In Life
Thursday 16th April
Text: Colossians 1:28-29
Key Verse: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Vision could refer to a supernatural revelation through dreams, trance or religious ecstasy. Another definition of vision is a picture or idea you have in your mind of yourself, your business or anything that is going to happen. Whichever definition you are looking at, one thing that is clear is that a vision positions you for the future. A vision helps you to navigate life better. In today’s reading text, Paul had a clear vision of his ministry, and he pursued it to the end.
The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without a purpose or a vision. To live a purposeless or visionless life is to reduce yourself to any inanimate object, like a stone or wood. Those who lack vision live by the dictates of other people. Every serious Christian must have a vision, and the primary vision should be on going to heaven and leading others there.
The ability to key into heavenly vision, is what brings about success in life, yet not everybody has this wisdom. Preoccupation with fantasies of this world has made many to lose focus and derail from eternal destination. Jacob used a stone as a pillow and saw a vision. Samson used Delilah's thigh as a pillow and lost his vision. What pillow are you resting your head on? What is the pillow of your life? Judas had the same opportunity as the other eleven apostles; he laboured along with them but had a different vision in life. All his focus was on money, not eternal life.
Moses abandoned Pharaoh’s palace in pursuit of divine vision. Joseph ran away from sexual immorality because of divine vision. Daniel refused the king’s meal because of divine vision. Jesus, even as the Son of God, lived with a vision, saying in John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” What are you doing with the vision God has given to you? Are you working it out or already losing it to sin and iniquity?
Thought For The Day: A visionless life is a rudderless life tossed about by the wind
Song For The Day: I am running a race to meet my redeemer (2x) Heavenly race.....
