WHO SAID, GIVING BIRTH TO YOUR VISION WAS SIMPLE?


Have fear, intimidation, doubt, frustrations, and questions gotten in the way of your vision? How many will decide to go through life without a vision. God says, “Without a vision people perish. (Proverbs 29:18) (NCV)18 Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled, but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.

Living life without a word from God is frustrating, complicating and exasperating. Some are literally out of breath because they have gone so long without pressing in to hear from God a vision for their life. I’m convinced that God put you here for a reason. Until you figure out THE WHY, you’ll live exhausted, frustrated, and worn out trying to find that missing piece to the puzzle of your life.

In Genesis 6, man was on a search doing every imaginable evil in God’s sight. God regretted that He had made man. He told Noah, I will destroy all mankind and start over again. Build an ark to preserve for the future. Vision is looking into the future. Noah was a man who was given instructions to build an Ark for the future, But how? What would he need to complete this undertaking?

Too many people FOCUS on what they Don’t have instead of what they Do have. In order to fulfill Gods vision for your life, you MUST focus on what you do have going for you.

NOAH REALIZED WHAT HE HAD GOING FOR HIM WAS:

The Favor of God Genesis 6:8 says that with all the upheaval of sin in the world, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. When you know that God is for you, who can be against you?

An Assignment God handpicked Noah with all of his hiccups and hang-ups to build an Ark that would survive the coming flood. Have you asked the Lord what is your assignment in life?

Plans He told Noah to build a big boat some 450 feet long, 30 feet high and 50 feet wide out of gopher wood. This would be large enough to hold female and male animals of every kind.

Time   Most commentaries estimate it took Noah 100 years to build the ark. Man’s problem is we want God to fulfill our vision overnight. Remember, “To everything there is a season.” (Eccl :1) Don’t allow yourself to be frustrated with God’s Time clock.

Tenacity   That is a determination to stay the course until the vision is complete.

Delight   When you delight yourself in God, He will give you the desires of your heart. Ps 37: 4

Promise  What God says, He is able to bring it to pass. God is not human, that he should lie.
