SHAPING YOUR YEAR Pt.17

Gen13:14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: KJV

A wealthy man decided to give $1,000, 000 to a worthy cause in the kingdom. He approached his Pastor and he asked to know what he would do if the church receives a $1,000,000 donation. His pastor replied by saying, "I'll fix the toilets". The rich man was curious to know if that was all the Pastor had in mind to do with $1,000,000. The Pastor couldn't find a meaningful use for that huge donation. This rich man asked to know what the budget of fixing the toilet was. He handed the token needed for fixing toilet to the Pastor.

This rich man kept his $1,000,000. He was driving round town one day, he over heard another Pastor talking about their plans to organize a city-wide crusade that will harvest souls and to build another church auditorium with a larger capacity to contain both old and incoming members. The rich man saw that as a worthy cause worth supporting. He approached the Pastor of that church and handed over the $1,000,000 to the church for the crusade and new church auditorium. This is no fiction.

I picked a few lessons from that story. The size of your vision determines the size of resources that will flow towards you. The man that had a toilet-size vision got the resources for toilet repairs. The man that had a city-wide vision got the resources for his vision. The quality of your vision determines the quality of resources that will flow towards it. This year, expand your vision. You can shape your year by re accessing your vision, the scope and coverage, and what is needed to actualize it. Per adventure you're done with a phase in your vision, feel free to catch another vision and run with it. However, don't forget to cast a vision that only God can help you fulfill because he's the source of true vision. If it is not greater than you and your ability, it is not from God.

Action point

Father, enlarge my vision in Jesus name.
