Heyo.

Everybody is talking about Vision. Goals, being creative and relentless in the pursuit and achievement of this vision..

But where do it all start from. What is the source of vision! What is it's purpose.

My people, welcome to #SartudaySonesis ...

Walk with me..

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your YOUNG ... shall SEE VISIONS:
Joel 2:28

Vision is an important perquisite for the Youth. If you're young and you don't have Vision then as Paul puts it,  "you are of all men,  most miserable."

A sense or ability of sight; Something imaginary one thinks or sees; An ideal or a goal toward which one aspires."

These 3 dictionary definitions of the word Vision concisely align with the insights of Vision laid for us in the Scriptures

A vision is an ideal ,  a goal of some sort, something that you strive towards. Yet,  one can't  strive towards a goal if he doesn't have an inmate of what that goal is. That image is most times from imagination; a picture; image sees with the eyes of his mind. A NENTAL PICTURE.

However, that level of mental pictures is where the world and its people stop. They can't go further than a NENTAL picture. That's because they're limited in scope. But you see,  the Christian, one who walks and lives in the Spirit has an even deeper connection with Vision.

This one,  Can SEE.  He can see with the eye of the SpiritWhile the world Imagines and does its Vision,  the Spirit Man first of all SEES the vision, it when he has seen the vision that the sight begins to inspire and trigger his imagination to create the ideas.

For The Born Again,  Spirit filled, Spirit Controlled, Spirit Minded believer, a Vision is first seen. It is first SEEN WITH THE EYES OF THE SPIRIT. 
This is where I will be dwelling on coz frankly, the "Imagination" and "action" part of vision have already been emphasized.

For the Spirit Man,
A Vision is First Seen, before it is imagined or done.

Let that sink in.

Let's learn from one of the First men God gave a Vision. Abraham was given a Vision by God,  a promise that he'll become the Father of Nations; a great ancestor. This was way back in chapter 12 (Genesis)when he first came out of his pops' land.

But look what happend in Chapter 15. Abe openly Aires his doubt and unbelief. And naturally speaking,  he was right. Notice that God wasn't angry;   He didn't say "Ah!  Me?! Yaa doubting me about?!  Me God!?!"

Nah. He knew Abe's real issue. And wasn't seeing the vision. He knew what His has promised,  he has heard God say the words, he hasn't seen it in his spirit 

So what did Oluwa do? Look at it

Abe's issue was not that he didn't have ability to see, it was the GA that he wasn't seeing correctly. He was trying to see the vision with his natural eyes. He as looking inside his own house. God has to change his line of sight. God had to help him see correctly.

See shay God did. God set his gaze to the stars and made him see the vision clearly with the eyes of his spirit . Also, notice they the sight sparked an image in his mind. What he saw in the Spirit created a mental picture.
The most excellent mental pictures come from the Spirit

For the  Spirit man, it's not just about "Seeing" , it is more about SEEING RIGHTLY. You have to see the right thing that God wants you to see. This is why walking in the Spirit is very important. 
Look at what Paul said about this kind of sight. (2Cor 4:18)

As Spirit Men,  The Visions we receive have eternal consequences.. They are birthed from. the eternal plans, so they are of eternal properties. Read this? Now go back again and read Paul's words again.

Notice another thing with Father Abe. God gave him vision ghat outlived him. In your life, if your vision is only to but cars and build houses and get money,  bro go and rethink o. God's Visions are usually eternal. Your God-giben vision must be something that will outlive you.

There are many examples of the truth. Jacob,  Moses, Daniel,  Isaiah and even Jesus all started things based on Visions from God, and those visions outlived them.

OK.. Catch your breath. Reel your thoughts in.
Are you still here? Don't go ooo!

Stay with me.

Let's take another..Hos about Boss Joushua. Mentor left him, with bunch of coconut head people that don't hear word. If na you, you no for weak too? To add brick on top mountain, God told him to gaan fight Jericho.
Baba for don be like:

God knew the task He had given the young man. He knew this man had to have vignette reason beyond any reasonable doubt that this venture was gonna be successful.
So he made him See it first. Look at Joshua 6:2-3

God had to tell him. "Stop shaking Ogneni. See wetin I don already give you. Camdan!! "
Joshua Sweet it, he saw the victory and he never stopped seeing Victories. That why baby could talk to the Sun and the moon to stay one place.

When the Vision comes, the Ability follows.

Let that sink in

One more time. Let's look at how important it is to first SEE the vision through the eyes of your spirit even before it begins to cognitively or Materially manifest.
Look at Isaiah 60.

I don't mean to remhyne but, Shane God gives you a vision, He makes the necessary Provision ready.
But you've got to see the vision first. You've got to know it as sure as you know your name. Because, then, you won't doubt that all you requore to fulfill it is available.

Look what God said, He said see that they're coming before they come not after. You've got to see it first and when you do, your heart will be enlarged and full of faith coz you know that Las Las,.God got you.
That's the surest way to achieve God's Vision

Recognise that you are His conduit. His vessel to cause the changes on the earth. This may be in a certain sector, or industry or with a certain product or service, with certain talent, skill or expertise. But know that it's for God's will to be effected.
You're God's heir.

One more thing..

When you begin to see the vision, when it becomes real you you, when it begins to spark images in your mind and strategies start forming, it's important to write it down. Have a written account of the vision in its many stages, phases and steps.
Habk 2:2-3

Werute it down, coz God is gonna be sensing people your way to sit at the Table of discussion..its on this table they you make it so the one small who see it can run with you.

Take time to plan and weigh all the variables knowing that God will bring what He started in you.
