PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT: ENVISION IN FAITH – BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,\u2019 says the Lord, \u2018PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE”<\/em> Jeremiah 29:11 Amplified.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

God’s PLANS and INTENTS for us is always for the good and best at anytime, anywhere, anyhow and anyway – Jeremiah 29:11; 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 in not being obedient to the ENVISIONED cause through the course of that mission that we’ve embarked upon. It’s wise to ENVISION – know and understand the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – before launching out on any project, in the cause and course of doing life and living godly with God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/em> Habakkuk 2:1-4.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Where there’s no envision PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT before a mission is embarked on, not only that PEOPLE PERISHED, but other valuable and important resources in used for that mission, such as – MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT], FINANCE, TIME and EFFORT are also wasted; consequently, the expected intent – damaged, destroyed and probably comes to the end or the death of such project\u00a0 endeavour.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he”<\/em> Proverbs 29:18.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs<\/strong><\/em> 21:31).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, to enhance us in the cause and course of doing life and living godly, I offer these consciousness, knowing it’s APPLICABLE to any phase in life though not limited – for example:<\/span><\/p>\n

** 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 the wrong books will be a wasted and wasteful endeavour at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

** A person that’s leaves the house to the shopping centre AIMLESSLY, that is, with UNPLANNED [written and itemised] expending, will end up expending on things that’s not needed at the expense of the needful. It thus means, if the only amount of money that’s available is for the needful – which supposedly for now, the needful is to buy grocery to prepare just a meal for the lovely children, it will not be achieved. You can see that such a person may have end up buying the item’s that’s good (clothing, shoes and such like) but not the needed and needful at the particular moment; and some may only have realised upon returning home, while meeting with the hungry kids awaiting for food on the table, that the realisation hits the individual of a bad and wrong timely decision. Such behaviour happens among people all the time – in business, family, marriage, relationship, governance, leadership, career and such like. Just pause and think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore I say to you – ‘ENVISION BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION’ – it saves one from expending unwisely on these given resources of doing life and living godly to all: TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL and EFFORT (SKILLS\/TALENT).<\/span><\/p>\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/em> Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he”<\/em> Proverbs 29:18.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the Lord” <\/em>Proverbs 21:31.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“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 \u00a0A man\u2019s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS his steps and ESTABLISHES them”<\/em> Proverbs 16:1-3, 9 (Amplified).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . How can one enter into a STRONG man\u2019s house, and spoil his goods, except he FIRST BIND the strong man? and then he will SPOIL his house”<\/em> Matthew 12:29.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” <\/em>Colossians 4:17.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“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.”<\/em> Jeremiah 29:11.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
