It is dangerous for one to just sit
there saying “I got a vision”.
There is need for you to take a look
at the state of the vision in your heart from time to time. Even Jesus talked
about being watchful. Ask yourself, does the thought of my vision still propel energy
for fulfillment? If not, one or more of the following might be the state of
your vision.
The sleeping vision:
This is a state where the vision and
its carrier lack a drive. The carrier may not even know that a vision is buried
in his spirit; he therefore, takes the presence of an interest in something to
be “normal”.
The maimed vision:
One in which the vision has been
seriously hampered from manifesting due to terrible mistakes on the part of the
carrier or attacks from hell.
The stale vision:
In this case, the carrier does
nothing to improve on his past efforts. He settles for less than the potential
of his vision. The vision becomes stagnant and turns stale. You know a vision
has gone stale when the people involved only make reference to exploits or accomplishments
dating back to when it first started. There is no current or recent testimony.
Individuals in this category need to get back to God to breathe freshness into
the entire thing.
The limping vision:
This describes vision in which the
carrier is up against so many obstacles than he can bear alone. This usually
become the case of
people who take up missions without
God’s commission. They therefore look for other unapproved means or methods to
enable them get fit again. However, people
on the right track on their pursuit of purpose may still find themselves in
this situation;in this case, they do not have
“helpers” surrounding the vision. Individuals in this category need to ask God
to send them men who can identify with their vision
and run along with them.
The imprisoned vision:
Here, the vision and its carrier are
caged as a result of self-imposed limitations, environmental limitation or
limitation from external forces. Individuals in this
category must believe that the God of purpose first equips a man before sending
him into the earth to fulfill his (God’s)
intention. He must have confidence in God’s ability to accomplish great things
with, for and through us other than
focus on his weaknesses. In the case of limitation from external forces, one must train
himself to believe in the word of God. Scripture says
“ but they that know their God shall
be strong and do exploit.”
Daniel 11:32b (KJV)
The reason we are told to know our
God is this; the knowledge of God exposes you to his mighty acts and sure fire
ways of going about issues and challenges of life.
That exposure gives you the confidence that propels you to stand strong;
because a running man cannot have the balance necessary to hit a target
(make/do exploit)
The nurtured vision:
This is the state of a vision which
is filled with fresh ideas which are
born out of inspiration(divine). The carrier is constantly connected to his source who in turn
is committed to the vision. In all the
healthy cases I have seen, the source is usually God.
The fulfilled vision:
Here, every goal set by the carrier
is obviously in motion. He needs just the right effort on his part to get
things going as he has got the right people placed in his life to devotedly
help him. Irrespective of the state of your vision, there is room for you to turn
it into a fulfilled vision. You can achieve this by staying committed to the
growth of your vision, being obedient to instruction from God or mentors and
totally depending on God.
I release grace on you to enable you
keep your vision alive and live in its fulfillment in the name of Jesus!
