There’s a deep stirring in my belly by the Holy Spirit to write a few things down. If it blesses you in some way, give God the glory.
Jabez cried out to God saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be on me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain” and God granted his request. (1 Chronicles 4: 10 NIV)
JABEZ ASKED GOD TO BLESS HIM AND GOD BLESSED HIM. THERE’S NO MENTION ABOUT HIM ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM NEXT… That was the end of his story!
At the age of 17, God gave Joseph a vision. While Joseph was in prison, if he would have prayed like Jabez to free him from all his struggles, God could have granted his request. BUT AS A PRISONER SET FREE, NOT AS SECOND ONLY TO KING PHARAOH AS PER HIS VISION!!!
IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR GOD, YOU DON’T ASK GOD TO BLESS YOU WITH MONEY OR WITH ANOINTING OR WITH JUST A PROMOTION OR FOR A CAR. YOU ASK GOD FOR A VISION.
GOD RELEASES VISIONS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO GO AND DO ANYTHING FOR HIS KINGDOM.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VISION AND A BLESSING IS THAT A BLESSING CAN BE GIVEN EVEN WITHOUT A NECESSITY OF A VISION. WHEREAS A VISION DEALS WITH YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE IN THE LONG RUN. A BLESSING IS AN ADD ON FEATURE TO A VISION. A VISION GIVEN FROM GOD REQUIRES DEDICATION & WALKING CONTINUALLY IN HOLINESS.
Even the devil knows this secret. That’s why he gives visions to his children of darkness and he causes them arise into important positions to execute his evil bidding & agendas over cities and nations!
JESUS Himself said in the Bible, “God causes rain to fall on the righteous and also the unrighteous. He causes the sun to shine on evil as well as on the good.” (Matthew 5: 45)
Dear reader of this Facebook post here’s what the Spirit of the Lord says:
IF YOU WANT TO BE GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, YOU DON’T JUST ASK GOD TO SIMPLY BLESS YOU. YOU ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU HIS VISION FOR YOUR LIFE AND ASK HIM TO ALIGN YOUR LIFE TO THAT VISION!!!
EVERY GREAT MAN OR WOMAN IN THE BIBLE WAS GIVEN A VISION AND THEY BECAME HISTORY MAKERS!!
A PERSON CARRYING A VISION IN HIS HEART IS MORE POWERFUL AND FEARED BY THE DEVIL COMPARED TO A PERSON HAVING INCREDIBLE ANOINTING, TALENTS, GIFTS OR RICHES, BUT WITH NO VISION!!!
Many of you have asked God to bless you with finances or health. You have asked God to heal or deliver you from certain struggles. You have asked God for a prophecy or your promotion in your office or career. Or perhaps you have asked God to give you this anointing or that anointing. BUT VERY FEW HAVE ASKED GOD TO ADD VISION TO YOUR LIFE OR TO REDEFINE THE VISION YOU ARE ALREADY HAVING!! This is the reason why you find many people in church for years together and yet they are confused about what to do in life. Even as I am typing this, I hear the Spirit of the Lord say, NO VISION GIVEN BY GOD IS SMALL!!! A VISION IS A SUPERNATURAL SEED THAT GOD PLANTS INTO YOUR SPIRIT MAN IN THE ETERNAL SPIRITUAL REALM. IT MANIFESTS ON THIS EARTH REALM IN THE FORM OF PROPHECIES AND DREAMS AND VISIONS THAT THE LORD GIVES YOU. THIS IS THE SAME SEED THAT GROWS AND BEARS FRUITS!! PEOPLE THROW STONES ON TREES THAT BEAR FRUITS!!!
IN THIS PHASE OF GROWING IN YOUR VISION, GOD PRUNES YOU SO THAT YOU BEAR MORE FRUITS. DON’T COMPLAIN IN THE PRUNING PROCESS DECLARES THE LORD!!!
I declare this overall those if you reading this: “MAY YOU BE A PIONEER IN THE VISION GOD HAS FOR YOU! MAY YOU BE PROPELLED FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW TO WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO BE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!!!”
