Keep Your Vision
When Alexander the Great had a vision, he conquered the world; when he lost it, he couldn’t conquer a bottle of alcohol. When David had a vision, he conquered Goliath; when he lost it, he couldn’t conquer his own lust. When Samson had a vision, he could defeat 1000 men; when he lost it, he couldn’t control one woman. When Noah had a vision, he built an ark and preserved the human race; when he lost it, he got drunk and lay naked. Friends, it’s your dream that keeps you on track; it’s the Christ in you that gives you a vision that keeps you on focus. (Inspired by Bob Gass)
Sometimes, the desires and visions of a person are in the right areas, but the motives of a person are still not pure. In such cases, the Lord puts a person through a refining period until the motivation is corrected and the heart pure. At other times, a person might have the revelation but lacks the skill to implement the methodology. In such cases, the Lord brings the person to connect with those with the right skills and materials.
We must admit that it is rare to find a person who is an architect, an engineer and a contractor at the same time. Most of the time such diverse professions require three different types of persons with varying personalities. Similarly, it would be rare to find one skilled in the ministry world and in the business world at the same time.
Most of the time one is skilled only in one area and needs help in the other areas. In these situations, fellowship and linking up with the right people and partners is important to the carrying forth of a vision. In all visions, a group of individuals need to link up properly to bring it to pass.
The whole body, joined and knit together by what EVERY JOINT SUPPLIES, according to the effective working by which EVERY PART DOES ITS SHARE, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love (Ephesians 4:16).
