Jer. 1:11 -19

 

When you see ahead, you save

Time –took us 6 hours

Materials –we lost petrol

Energy

Money

Labour –we were tired; Bukky walking in the cold

-brings consistency because one mind –James 1:8

 

God tells you what to do –Acts 9:10 – 11 (Ananias sent to Paul)

We receive instructions from God –Acts 10:3 – 6 (Cornelius instructed by an angel)

You know the mind of God –Num 24:16

God reassures us –Gen 15:2 (to Abram, fear not)

 

Church vision –building a flock bond in love as a family and working together to make heaven.

What is our vision for this year? Have you written it down –make it plain?

What will you achieve at the end of the vision?

Avoid wastages of time, money, talent, strength, words, etc, this year. Plan ahead. Ask God to give you the vision, because if your plan is outside Hid will/plan for you, you are also wasting time b planning by yourself.

 

Conclusion

If you have the vision, it means God’s spirit is in you already –Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17; Luke 11:13

The steps of a good man... Psalm 37:23
