First of all, I want to wish you and yours a Blessed and Happy New Year!
This month I am going to teach on Purpose and Vision. I pray you will be blessed by it.
Vision:
• Vision is more insight than it is sight.
• Vision is being able to see beyond where your eyes can look.
• Sight is common, vision is rare.
• Vision is foresight, birthed from insight, with the benefit of hindsight.
(Prov 29:18 NIV) Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
• People with Vision don’t do everything.
• Their vision restrains them.
• Their vision keeps them focused.
• Their vision makes their life simple.
(1st Cor 6:12 NIV) “Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
(1st Cor 6:12 MSG) Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.
Just because you CAN do something, it does not mean that you should. People with vision know what they should do and they focus their efforts therein. People without vision are people that fail to operate in discipline, because they lack to the direction to make the right decisions.
