PROVERBS 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law happy is he.”
{xtypo_dropcap}V{/xtypo_dropcap}ision is a place. Vision is the pursuit of the future, funded by the WORD of GOD, whereby faith comes from, to accomplish GOD given and GOD instructed endeavors, whereby the kingdom of GOD is promoted and impacted to grow. Fellow brother and sister in the Lord do you know where you are going or have you followed someone or something that has no certain destination or goal? The word perish there in the verse means naked, shows lack of restraint or the people let go and let loose.
My greatest fear is to have a church that is rich and increased with goods, plenty of provision and no vision as the church of the Laodicean the state of there condition was lukewarm! Vision is a state. (ecstatic state) Ecstatic can mean intoxicated or elevated, reminding me of Hannah in the bible who was accused of intoxication as well as the early church accused of the same. Hannah was granted her petition and the early church granted a prophetic fulfillment.
When God divinely communicates with us divine revelation comes impregnates us with vision and then we can become like Paul expressed, I am made all things to all men that I by all means save some and he told King Agrippa I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision!!!! If you lack vision find it, if your church lacks vision find it GOD IS LOOKING FOR SOME VISIONIST!!!!
