Proverbs 29:18 says “where there is no vision the people perish. But he that keeps the law happy is he.”
2 Corinthians 4:18 says “we look not at the things, which are seen, but the things, which are unseen: for the things, which are, seen are temporal; but the things, which are not seen, are eternal.”
If you are going to have victory in your life, you must have a vision.
Having the right vision is important for your life, growth and development.
If you want to succeed; if you want to have God’s will for your life you have got to have a vision of what God wants for you.
Get a vision of where you want to go, what you want to do, and what God wants you to be.
Having vision means having the right expectancy and having the right anticipation for your life. God loves increase, development and productivity.
You become what you behold. You become those that you are impressed with. Human loves visions. God made us to operate on visions. If you get a vision in you, you will become that outwardly.
Hosea 4:6 says “my people perish because of lack of knowledge.” Not having vision is lacking in knowledge of what God wants for you.
Whatever you feed on, that’s why you will begin to emulate. What you let yourself behold that is what you will become. What you read or hear are words that are painting pictures. You will become what you continually behold.
Having a vision will bring you through hardships; just like Joseph’s vision brought him through the hard times, your vision will bring you through the pain, disappointment, lack and failures.
Before you can have something you have to see yourself having it, before you can be anything you have to see yourself being it.
Whatever you believe in your heart and expect, that is what your faith will produce.
Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Sick or well? Up or down? Richer or poorer? Overcoming or defeated?
So many people have no vision. Many people have a vision that is limited to staying in the same position or even being in a worse position.
If your vision is not large enough, you must change your perspective. Surround yourself with people and information that will stretch your thinking and change what you are beholding on a regular basis.
You will become what you behold.
