Did you know that the Lord needs you for you to fulfil His assignment for your life here on Earth? Oh yes, He needs you. But He doesn’t depend on anybody.

Did you know that the Lord needs you for you to fulfil His assignment for your life here on Earth? Oh yes, He needs you. But He doesn’t depend on anybody.
In Isaiah 58:11, it is written that the Lord will guide His people always. That means believers in Christ have access to divine guidance from the Lord. It’s your privilege, child of God, to get guidance from the omniscient God who never gets it wrong in everything He does.
In Isaiah 58:11, the prophet Isaiah prophesied many great things that will happen in every believer’s life, especially for those who know it and live according to God’s ways. One is that the Lord will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land.
Keep the Word strongly in your mind. Because I tell you, the things of the world will come and test your resolve. And in those times, it is the Word stored in the reservoir of your heart that will save you.
Jesus said, “… if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” That means that as a leader, having a vision prevents you from living a careless life. Secondly, as a follower, who you follow affects the direction your life will take.
Every establishment that is not God-ordained will eventually fail. It could be a business scam, an idea that promotes evil, or activities that don’t honour God. All those things will come to nought with time, no matter how much money is dedicated to funding such works.
God will hardly tell you the details of how to fulfil the ideas He inspires your heart with. Do you know why? It’s because He is the director of your steps to the vision. That is why you don’t need to worry about the “how” behind the purposes of God concerning your life. He will direct you there. So fret not!
Blessed are you when you rejoice in Jesus’s marvellous works in another person’s ministry. Ministry isn’t like a business where there is competition. No! It belongs to God. Let Him direct you as you do it.
It takes a heart that loves God to accept His servants who come to minister to them. So, dear friend, I want to tell you to welcome Jesus in your home by not shunning away preachers who come around for evangelism.
Friend, I want to tell you that ardently following Jesus will cost you some close relationships. Not all issues between parents and believing children are evil. Some are meant to be so for God’s will to prevail. So, just in case you are having such experiences, resolve it and let your parents know that God’s will is superior to theirs.
God has already prepared the sponsors of the divine mandate He has given you and placed them in strategic positions in life for you to meet them. That is why He is your security in ministry.
Godly vision has a way of troubling the heart of its career. That person cannot but fulfil such desire to do what he wants to solve. And I want to say that it is not wrong to encounter that as a vision career. In fact, without it, the passion for the work you do or intend to do will begin to fade, and when it does, the growth of the vision will get stunted.
