Though it rained a bit, the attendance was impressive.
The meeting opened with a powerful session of worship from the House of Praise choir and Stella.
I gave a charge on the power of vision with a definition that vision is a preferred future with direction from our creator.
I used the story of a blind man in mark 8 to illustrate how you must get the right vision.
The man was brought to Jesus for healing.
Jesus took him aside.... You must go back to God for blue prints
Since man was made from the earth originally, the breadth of God gave man life and so
Jesus mixed the earth and his spittle to rub the man's eyes. What was missing was replaced.
I pray Jehovah will touch you tonight to restore your vision.
But the first time the man saw men walking as trees!
There are some visions that need clarification . Go back to God.
Jesus laid hands again and the man now saw clearly.
There are some of us you need to move from dreaming to getting visions!
When you dream, you sleep but with visions you don't need to sleep!
You need to wake up your dreams. Dreams will lead you to do exciting things. Dreams will lead you to do incredible things and to be energised you need powerful dreams!
In this season, what will you want to do for posterity? You need a vision.
You are not an accident waiting to happen.
You are not a bag of disgrace neither are you an appendix.
You were created for a special assignment.
You must fulfil your purpose.
Our guest speaker for the night was a good friend and colleague.
Pastor Agu ( the Lion) Irukwu from Jesus House for all Nations.
He brought a powerful charge and I managed to get some points as follows:
The power of vision
Mandela was imprisoned for 26 yrs!
13 yrs in solitary confinement. And yet he did not loose his mind. What kept him alive and sane? The power of vision. Of a freed south Africa !
Disney dreamt of an entertainment centre where people will come from all over the world. Sitting down looking at the sky he was rebuked for wasting his time but he said he was looking at the space mountain which today is a reality.
The power of vision
Two brothers dreamt of flying. Today flying is cheap. The power of vision
What will keep you going is the power of vision !
Vision is the source and hope of life.
Eyes that look are common but the eyes that see are rare
What is a vision
Vision is a definely inspired mental picture
Ex 3:1. A land flowing with milk and honey
Not much can be done without a vision
Prov 29:18. The people perish without a vision. Cast off all restraint without a vision
Nations are built because they have visionary leadership.
Institutions are run by vision
Four wheels today is by vision
A vision comes from God
It is the nature of God to give you a vision for your life
Gen 15:2
Hab 2:1-2
God will always provide for his vision
Get away from the things that distract you and get to a place where you can connect with God
Don't leave as a vision. Don't die without bringing it out.
Andrew what will you leave for your generation?
Move from vision to Planning !
Take it from your mind to writing it down and make it plain.
Lk 14:28-30. Who builds a tower without sitting down, and counting the cost
Prov 16:9. The Lord determines the steps, man plans
Your vision will take you through life's challenges
2 cor 11:24. Paul never gave up despite the failuresand hardships
Acts 27. Going to Rome was a vision from God. He got there. The power of vision
Jesus in the garden
A vision will take you through whatever life throws at you.
The fulfilment of a vision requires patience. Hab 2:3
Gen 37:9-10. Joseph got a vision from God
The route of fulfilment of a vision may be rough at times
But Joseph never gave up on God
Please don't get an attitude o. Ask John the baptist o
There will usually be a human opposition to the Fulfilment
of a vision
Joseph was sold to slavery
Portiphars wife harassed him
Nehemiah had a vision and was opposed by human beings. Sambalatts etc
Don't let anyone kill your dreams as long as it is from God please protect it
God will help you to recognise the helpers of your vision
Powerful prayer sessions followed.
I will not be a crab. Crabs are always pulling themselves down .
My vision that is in coma wake up
O God I connect with you.
Father give life unto me to reach my goal.
Ressurection power come upon my destiny
Andrew Adeleke
