Habakkuk2:2 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it". Its merely hours to the new year. As we are gradually leaving 2015. Many dreams we thought will come to didn't many expectations were cut off. Its a pity but we are not defined by what we did yesterday but what we are doing today. So as we are marching towards 2016 it is a necessity to write down our visions for next year. You might ask whats the need my vision for last year didnt come to pass. True they didn't come to pass because they were dreams not vision. There is a difference between a vision and a dream. Vision are pursued while dreams are interpreted. Visions are substantial while dreams are mere wishes hence it is usually forgotten. Vision are substantial because they are written down. Visions are substantial because they are pursued. King nebuchanezzar in the book of daniel had both a dream and a vision. The first encounter he had was a dream: daniel2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. So most times dreams are not made in a sober mind. Dreams are usually formed in an unfocused mind. King Nebuchadnezzar dreamt and was troubled because he didn't know what to do. Dreams are not plain like vision. Any interpreted dream written down is a vision. King Nebuchadnezzar forgot what he dreamts. But daniel interpreted the dream for him. The second dream King Nebuchadnezzar had was a vision in daniel "4:5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me". This time he remembered the dream probably because he wrote it down. This time he was relaxed. Visions are formed in a sober mind. Previous to when he had the dream the bible says Daniel 4:4 "I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace". Any vision not written down is a mere wish. You need to get a book and write down your vision. 2016 is not like other years. You need to write down your vision. You vision are your expectations. So it will be like the snake lifted up in the time of moses. In the time of moses when the children of israel complained God sent serpents to bite them. And when they repented God told moses the solution. Genesis 21:8 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live". The snake lifted up represents your vision while the snake bite represent discouragement. So anytime you are discouraged its important you look at your vision. And tell yourself this why I am doing this. Your vision is your serpent on the pole. The vision motivates you when you are discouraged by others. A Godly person is a person with a vision. God is a visionary. The bible is a book of vision. So you cannot tell me you are Godly when you are vision-less. A vision-less man is a mission-less man. A mission-less man is a candidate of the devil. You cannot have distinction in your generation without a destination. I pray God open your eyes to see visions in jesus name. Amen
Amen
