Vision that Enlarges You

Hab 2:1-2
Stop thinking about how to make ends meet - God will give us more

1. God speaks to us through visions
Rather than voices
Don't keep thinking about your visions in the past
If God gives you the visions, He'll also gives you the provisions to make the vision happens
All the great men in the bible had visions about their destiny
Jhn 5:19
Most people don't hang onto their visions beyond a few months
Jos 1:7-8
We need to move into our dreams & stay focused
1. Pray & fast
2. Speak about it
3. Act upon it

2. Set yourself in a right place to receive the vision
The first 5-15min of our prayer life is usually filled with the clutter of life thus we need to pray beyond 15mins
Imagination is more important than knowledge - Albert Einstein

3. God's vision will enlarge you
We always need to write down the visions otherwise it'll not come to pass
A small man is made up of small thoughts - Victor Hugo
Gen 9:27
Exo 34:23-24
1 Chro 4:10
Isa 54:2
Without a visions, believers will start living a careless life - people shall perish
Act 2:17
Don't ever lose your visions
When leaders are unwilling to dream, followers will be unwilling to follow -Andy Stanley
Most people don't succeed not because they don't have visions but because they want to achieve different results with the same actions
Unsuccessful people focused in survival
Average people focused on maintenance
Successful people focused in progress
-John C Maxwell
