12 SECRETS FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION (PART III)

VISION: WHAT DO I WANT TO SEE?

“Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint…” Proverbs 29:18 (ASV)

“Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18 (AMP)

What you are seeing today must never stop you from creating what you would want to see in the future. Vision is the ability to develop a mental picture of the kind of future you would want to have. It is a divine revelation of God’s intentions concerning your future destination. Vision is the capacity to stand in your actuality (what is) and see your possibilities (what can be). Once you know who you are and why you are here on earth, you must then receive or create a clear mental picture of what you would want to see in your life, your family, community or nation.

PURPOSE: WHY AM I HERE?

 “God has MADE US what we are. He has CREATED US in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has PREPARED FOR US to DO.”

Ephesians 2:10 [Emphasis mine]

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, and to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

In our previous study, we looked at knowing who you are – your identity. In this study, we will focus on knowing your purpose. Identity deals with who God wants you to BE while purpose deals with what God wants you to DO.
