Topic: The Necessity of Conceiving Vision
SCRIPTURE: 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: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. Genesis 13:14-15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Being sure of where you are going before embarking on a journey is a critical requirement for the success of the journey.
Message: The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (New 7th Edition) defines vision as the ability to see; the area that you can see from a particular position. It is also an ideal or a goal toward which one aspires.
Seeds of Destiny Daily Devotional:Â Beginning With God
It is important to know the necessity of conceiving vision for a year at a beginning of the Year. This is important for three reasons:
1. How you begin a thing determines how you will end it.
2. The quality of a foundation determines the integrity of the construction. The quality of your vision at the beginning of a year determines the weight of your achievement in the rest of the year.
3. The force with which you start the year determines the speed at which you move in the rest of the year. The force with which a person starts the year by conceiving a quality vision determines the force with which he will move in actualizing it.
So, the life of vision is a critical requirement for every journey. Being sure of where you are going before embarking on a journey is a critical requirement for the success of the journey.
Beloved, if you do not know where you are going in the year 2018, you may not know or like where you would end. Without a clear definition of destination, stagnation is inevitable.
Therefore, endeavour to see the necessity of conceiving vision for your life and the year, 2018 so you will not be frustrated in life.
REMEMBER THIS: Being sure of where you are going before embarking on a journey is a critical requirement for the success of the journey.
