PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT: ENVISION IN FAITH – BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION!

God’s PLANS and INTENTS for us is always for the good and best anytime, anywhere, anyhow and anyway; but many times we’ve FAILED in our mission to excel and be established in life because our mission has not got CLEARANCE – a clear cut VISION – from the start and sometimes through the course of that mission we’ve embarked on. It’s wise to ENVISION – plan before launching out on any project.

Where there’s no envision PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT before a mission is embarked on, not only that PEOPLE PERISH, other resource in used for that mission, such as – MATERIAL, FINANCE, TIME and EFFORT are also wasted; consequently, the expected intent damaged, destroyed and probably the end or death of such project.

The horse, that is, RESOURCE for mission needs to be PREPARED with a clear cut vision before that mission is embarked upon in order to be FULFILLED and have an EXCELLENT result at the end of the day.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31).

This consciousness is APPLICABLE to any phase in life but not limited – for example:

** A Student needs to envision what course to study before sourcing the books to enhance such career, otherwise, the diligent effort of study on a course with wrong books will be a waste at the end of the day.

** A person that’s leaved the house to the shopping Centre AIMLESSLY, that is, with unplanned expending on the only amount of money that’s available for the needful – which supposedly for now, the needful is to buy groceries to prepare meal for the lovely kids. Such a person will only end up buying the item’s that’s not needed – such as clothing, shoes and such like; and upon returning home to meet hungry kids awaiting food on the table – but none. Such behaviour happens among people all the time – in business, relationship, governance, leadership, career and such like.

Therefore I say to you – ‘ENVISION BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION’ – it saves one in not expending unwisely these three resources of doing life and living godly: TIME, MONEY and EFFORT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” (Proverbs 29:18).

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31).

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the heart BELONG to man, But the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions], But the Lord WEIGHS and EXAMINES the MOTIVES and INTENTS [of the heart and knows the truth]. 3 COMMIT your WORKS to the Lord [SUBMIT and TRUST them to Him], And your PLANS will SUCCEED [if you respond to His will and guidance] . . .9  A man’s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS his steps and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1-3, 9 (Amplified).                   

“. . . How can one enter into a STRONG man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he FIRST BIND the strong man? and then he will SPOIL his house” (Matthew 12:29).

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” (Colossians 4:17).

“For I know the THOUGHTS that I think toward you, saith the Lord, THOUGHTS of peace, and not of evil, to GIVE you an EXPECTED end.” (Jeremiah 29:11).

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS: BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS (GODLY LIVING) – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

Can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person of MERE SUCCESS inclination will not leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and alterations, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment? Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8).

Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished, and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Philip [the deacon, not the apostle] went down to the city of SAMARIA and PROCLAIMED the Christ (the Messiah) to them [the people]; 6 And GREAT CROWDS of people with one accord listened to and heeded what was said by Philip, as they heard him and watched the miracles and wonders which he kept performing [from time to time]. 7 For foul spirits came out of many who were possessed by them, screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and many who were suffering from palsy or were crippled were restored to health. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” (Acts 😎 Kindly read till end.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S VISION TO MISSION!

By Leave a Comment

No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to it. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.

Leadership MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time and materials are involved. A clear cutting-edge vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involve.

The Eagles are known to be visionary, because of its highly sighted eyes. Foresight and insight is the great attributes that characterised this awesome creation of God. Hence it can take on it’s prey on the ground from its gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style.

Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of finance, material, time and people. Hence where there’s no vision, the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like collapses. In fact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ENSURE the atmosphere you want to enjoy as VISUALISED.

So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning endeavour to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT. Remember – READ before you RUN.

IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!

“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.

“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. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.
