There’s only one thing that can help you to make concrete decisions and enforce them. It’s called vision. As long as you know where God is taking you in the future, you’ll figure out where you’re not going so skillfully. You’ll easily be able to distinguish between the voice of God and the suggestions of people, as good as they may be.
Vision gives birth to purposeful living. And your purpose determines your discipline, which in turn, adds value to your time. Until you focus on what God has called you to do, you’ll not see much fruition in it.
Vision without work is like sleeping, only to never wake up. There are some things you must possess and do if you want to actualise your vision. And today, I’m glad to share three of them with you.

You may have silenced others from speaking into your life. But I challenge you, “Don’t plan your sudden destruction by becoming stiff-necked.” Stop complaining and being stubborn to listen to advice, especially the one which comes from God’s Word, and your life in Christ will be glorious.
I want to encourage you that it pays to make a lot of sacrifices in order to live on purpose. You might not see the immediate benefits of your good work today. But it’s compounding to a great tomorrow that you’ll be shocked if God reveals it to you.
Are you disqualifying yourself from embracing God’s call upon your life? Do you see the bad situations in your life today as a hindrance to God’s glorious future for you? It’s time to put excuses aside.
Seedtime and harvest will never cease as long as this earth remains. While you may not always be conscious of what you sow, you’ve got to pay attention to it. Aside from using money and services to sow, there are other things that can be used as seed. Take a look.
Growing up, I heard many people speaking about the Bible condemning the love of money. Today, it hasn’t changed. But the question is, “What does it mean to love money?” And how can we prevent it from affecting our lives as children of God? Read this article to find out more.
