Yes! the same "Walt Disney you know was fired from a newspaper firm because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” What led these prosperous, efficacious and gifted people to continue despite failure and rejection? VISION! LEADERSHIP!! RESPONSIBILITY!!!
“If you feast your eyes on
something, you enjoy the sight of something” as the saying goes and
I humbly begin this piece with Psalms one hundred and twenty one, the
affirmation of the Psalmist who enjoyed supernatural lifting’s and victories
from God like drinking Coke. I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence
comes my help; my help comes from the Lord who made the Heaven and the Earth.
Vision
is strongly connected to your lifting in life, but then, the quality, capacity,
value and worth of your vision will certainly determine the altitude or
pinnacle of your lifting and positions in life. Lifting is continuous and not
just a onetime experience; for me, i will say supernatural lifting is a
lifestyle for us in the kingdom of Christ.
Vision
helps us to look up and look ahead, vision makes us responsible, vision gives
us direction, vision enables us see even challenges ahead and prepare us to
face it and overcome it. Vision provides motivation for us and others
especially the people we lead, vision fuels us to move against obstacles,
vision spurs boldness and resilience; vision reveals definition of purpose, it
helps us to define even our circle and sphere and without vision the earth will
be in darkness even possible doom. Thank God for making us have vision and
visions, thank God for enabling us to look up to Him for a vision and purposeful
visions, thank God for entrusting us with heavenly vision and making us fit to
fulfill our visions b His supernatural lifting and most importantly giving us
the sense of purpose also to know the times and season thereby putting us
in-charge of leadership position “supernatural lifting”.
In
Leadership; vision aids leaders work on what is vital to accomplish the end
results and not get caught up in the monotonous humdrums of leading or
leadership. Vision helps leaders to focus on the 20% that is essential instead
of the remaining 80% that can be delegated and handled by others. 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 forever; Genesis thirteen verse fourteen to fifteen. If
only you can see it as far off enough, it can be yours with tenacity and
audacity, taking up responsibility because to whom lifting is entrusted, much
is also expected. Again, I said to ask God for supernatural lifting is
to ascent your readiness to take up responsibility, lifting in life is not
wished or just prayed for. To pray for supernatural lifting is simply to affirm
your willingness to serve in leadership position or positions as it applies to
some who ask God for lifting’s.
Leadership
is a position of Elevation and Enlivening which is to be in a lifted position;
politically, spiritually, socially, professional, business etc and which also
makes leadership a position of responsibility. No irresponsible person can be
trusted with sensitive and prophetic leadership position and believe me is the
reason Africa as a continent cannot maximize her space; irresponsible people
are far more in leadership than those who are responsible (processed) enough to
lead. Thomas Edison failed some 10,000 times before successfully inventing the
light bulb; that is overwhelmingly discouraging attempts, but the sense of
responsibility and the conviction of his vision spurred resilience and
consistency till he got it right.
With God,
supernatural lifting remains as far as you can see, because where you are at
the moment is a height probably someone is eyeing or aspiring to attain. She
was tagged ‘unfit for TV’ and was fired from her job as a television reporter
talking about Oprah Winfrey, at the age of 22, but she accepted the
responsibility to get better by what she saw in herself. Michael Jordan was cut
from his high school basketball team and that stirred him to go back to the
drawing board “vision, leadership, responsibility”. As far as you can
see, your present location of height has expired if you are being rejected for
whatever reason, so if are not ready and willing to go far, you will see
supernatural lifting as a religious caption, topic or even revelation. Walt
Disney was fired from a newspaper because he “lacked imagination and had no
good ideas.” What led these prosperous, efficacious and gifted people to
continue despite failure and rejection? VISION! LEADERSHIP!! RESPONSIBILITY!!!
WHAT VISION IS: they say “having a bird's-eye view of the
market will help you beat your market competitors or rivals”, just have the
conviction of what you are seeing and go far ahead for your vision. Dictionary says that vision is the faculty or state
of being able to see or the ability to think about or plan the future with
imagination or wisdom. I have a prophetic definition
today for you and it will sure reposition our mind supernaturally since our
operational module in the kingdom is Scriptures. Every lifting recorded in
Scriptures and in contemporary times started out first with the POWER OF
VISION, which for me is the ability to SEE abnormally. Let me here again give a
supernatural definition of vision; the Holy Spirit enabled me to redefine the
meaning of vision as “the revelation of who God says He is and the revelation
of who God says I am”. Vision is journeying into the realm and the dwelling of
divinity for the benefit of humanity and God has prophetically entrusted this
timely, yet timeless insight to me knowing what I am to do and the how to do it
through Him alone.
WHAT POWER IS:
power is often defined as the
ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way. What vision is to power is what power is to vision. Power
will be abused and underutilized where there is no vision and where there is no
power; “vision will suffer catastrophe and cataclysm” according to Papa
Joshua Talena. That is why I have always said, it is dangerous to trust mere
men, men with no history of due process with power, vision is fundamental and
expedient to the use of power because it puts power in check and control.
Thanks for stopping over here and investing your valuable time.
Kindly come back for PART 2VISIONPower from Supernatural Lifting Series.
GOD is committed to your consistent lifting...
