Like Joseph, be faithful no matter how difficult or how far your current situation is from the dream that is in your heart. Joseph was one of the most effective leaders in the bible. As a boy, the Lord gave him a dream of ruling many, and his confidence in this becoming a reality led his brothers to sell him into slavery out of jealousy. As a slave, he excelled and soon was in charge of all the other slaves. He was framed by his master's wife and thrown in jail. He applied himself as a prisoner that the jailer gave him full authority to run the jail.
The problem is not vision… it’s clarity of vision from God.
I always ask myself…Is it from God?? Where did the thought come from?
One morning as I woke up, the Holy Spirit dropped this scripture into my spirit. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
One touch, one word from God can clear your vision. I know I want His hands on every single plan in my life. I want His hands on my vision. So, I will acknowledge him in all my ways and not lean into my own understanding of things.
God promises us “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. He wants to reveal himself to us.
As God becomes the desire of your heart, you will align and be ready to receive His will and vision for your life.
God gives His vision to those who are good stewards. Those He knows will persevere through criticism, seasons of waiting, and spiritual warfare. To those who are faithful in small things.
