Catching Hold Of A Vision That Enlarges You
1. God speaks to us through visions.
Hab. 2:1 à “to watch what He will see to me.”
With the wrong vision we will build wrong things, things that will fade away.
That is why we must get God’s vision and not our own vision.
Lot’s wife had a vision for her past.
A heart for the past destroys you.
2. Set yourself in the right place to receive the vision.
Hab. 2:1 à “I will”
God did not force Habakkuk, he stood on the watchtower himself.
A watchtower is a high ground.
Spiritually it speaks of prayer.
Jos. 1:7-8
All the time you must be speaking forth the vision.
How committed are you to the vision?
You should eat, think and sleep on the vision.
When we are impregnated with a vision, we will carry it until fruition.
Get into action.
3. God’s vision enlarges you.
Small vision never inspires.
A small man is made up of small thoughts.
You are small not because of your stature, you are small because of your vision.
Gen. 9:27
Always think about enlarging.
Ex. 34:23-24
1 Chr. 4:10
When leaders are no longer willing to dream, it’s only a matter of time before followers are unwilling to follow.
Things we need to do in 2010:
1. Enlarge your thinking.
Thinking means to perceive with the mind.
God knows that He cannot move until we move.
God get us excited to act by giving us a vision.
If we don’t have any fresh vision we will not move to the next level.
We are not great because we are able to conceive the vision. The vision is by the grace of God.
Allow God to stretch your imagination and your thinking.
2. We must enlarge ourselves personally.
In the bible we are often presented with contrasts.
To enlarge yourself is to say no to something and yes to something else.
In leadership: not laws but liberty.
Rules stifle creativity.
A leader must let people feel secured to work as a team.
Life off the glass ceiling and the people are able to flourish.
Serving: Not hierarchy but heart.
Matt. 20:25-28
You will get a promotion when your peers support you and love working with you.
Ability: Not self-centred but spirit-centred.
2 Cor. 12:19
If you want to experience the power of God, you’ve got to sometimes put yourself in a very weak position.
If you do beyond your immediate area of responsibility, you will find that promotion is not far away.
Result: Not bondage but breakthrough.
