Do not live without vision!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

My greetings to you, dear friends! I bless you this day!

I thank the Lord for the words that He speaks to us daily to edify us, to strengthen our spiritual walk and to help us move forward.

Today I would like to share with you a word about building or constructing your future.
The truth is that we are a product of what we see. In order for us to reach any goals in life, we have to first see (visualize or imagine) them. So many people do not advance and move forward because of the lack of vision; they only live in the ‘now’. Very often people do not have any future plans; they do not have a clue of what goals they want to reach in this life.

The Bible says,

 „Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint” (Proverbs, 29:18).

This verse of Scripture tells us that without a revelation from above, without a vision and an understanding of where we are going, without the understanding from the Lord about our future, – we become unrestrained.

In a different translation of the Bible this verse says that without vision people perish. It means that if we do not have a plan from the Lord, based on His revelation for our lives, then we will wander aimlessly without purpose or direction and eventually decline.

Without a plan and a revelation, life becomes senseless and goes ‘down the hill’. We must catch the vision from the Lord for our families, ministry, and work – in fact, for all the spheres of our lives. This is the will of God for us, and it is also the beginning of a blessed and a great future for us. The future belongs to those who have vision.

So the word of Lord for you is: do not live without vision! Trust God, pray and receive the vision from above for your life.
God bless you today!

Till tomorrow!

    How do you react when you see obvious success and prosperity of those whom you call your brothers and sisters? Are you able to be happy along with them? If you are able to be happy seeing the success of others, then you will also experience success, – it is one of God’s spiritual laws.

  • Apart from Him there is no true satisfaction and happiness! III

    We will continue about Solomon’s search for happiness, satisfaction and the meaning of life. We have already discussed that in the beginning of his life Solomon sought God and loved him, and God gave him wisdom and riches, happiness and fulfilment in life. But Solomon got caught up with superficial things of this world and started to follow other gods. Solomon started seeking for happiness and satisfaction in things and activities. He found only disappointment in them and then he turned back to his beginning. The story of Solomon is a lesson to all of us; it tells us that the meaning of life, happiness and satisfaction cannot be found anywhere but in God alone. So we need to develop and strengthen personal relationships with God.

  • Jesus transforms those that follow Him III

    We must keep God’s call to change right before our eyes as one of the most important goals. As soon as we come to God and enter His Kingdom, the desire to change and grow into the likeness of Jesus should be our single desire and our daily bread. And when we start changing, the things around us will change along with the inward changes we experience. Then the most awful situation will change for better and terrible problems will be solved. All of this will happen along with the transformation of our character in the process of the spiritual growth.

  • Transformed person is a person with the right and pure motives

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Transformed person serves other people because he loves them, not in order to benefit from them. It makes me sad when I meet people who minister because it gives them a certain benefits. It´s awfully hard to change a person who has such motives. Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus was one of this kind. For three and a half years he had stayed with Jesus, but in no way it changed him, because he had sinister motives. Judas Iscariot was greedy, money loving man. Jesus put Judas in charge with financial part of His ministry, so he had access to money and offerings. First Judas began to steal money from their pay-box, later also betrayed his Master.
