The Three Elements of a Vision

The Three Elements involved in a vision: • The vision • Timing • The method In relation to vision there is the thought that you will just believe God and it’s going to happen which isn’t necessarily true. Then there is the other side that says I am going to do everything and not seek God so much and that isn’t true either. They need to both be in action working together. Proverbs 29:18 (King James Version) 18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Perish means to live in an inferior condition. No motivation no desire or purpose. One definition of vision is the ability to see what ought to be or needs to happen. It is also the solution to a challenge or problem. You have the ability to see what needs to be done to correct something that is less than it ought to be. In Habakkuk chapter one the children of Israel were in a very inferior condition, things were not going well for them. Habakkuk took the time to go before the Lord and find out what needed to happen to correct the problem and the Lord gave him a vision. The vision is always a solution to a challenge or problem that exists. Vision will always pull you in a certain direction. If you have an individual vision it is like reading the roadmap. It will keep you on course. The same is true for a corporate vision. Vision keeps you on target. The only constant in maturing and following the Lord is the ability to change. Growth always involves change. If you aren’t changing most likely you aren’t growing or maturing spiritually.
