RUNNING WITH THE VISION

Waiting on, and hearing from God are precursors to obeying Him!
Obeying God means translating what we have heard into action; it means running with the vision that has been revealed to us.
How many times have we been reluctant to move, even after we have received confirmation about a certain course of action? It is human frailty to doubt our inclination to execute, preferring to hesitate or mull things over. Jonah hesitated, disobeyed, and ended up in the belly of a whale (Jonah 1:1-17)! Barak hesitated, and needed the backing and participation of the prophetess Deborah in order to carry out God’s instructions (Judges 4:6-10).
Regardless of how much we have prayed and fasted, there comes a time to step up to the plate and perform! There comes a time to run with the divinely appointed vision; to disregard every doubt, trust in God’s enablement, and execute or run the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1).
Running with the vision entails trusting and obeying God. Oftentimes, we may not understand the strategy or process God will use to bring our yearnings to fruition; it is however critical that we trust He will do what He says!
Moses ran with the vision of freeing the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, Noah of building the Ark for survivors of the impending flood, and our Lord Jesus Christ of bringing eternal, once-for-all salvation to a sinful world! These divine instruments never doubted God nor asked Him to explain how He would bring turnarounds to the prevailing situations.
Will you trust God today? Dare you take the vision He has revealed, and run with it? Doing so is complete obedience to your God and King, and a harbinger of great things to come!
Lesson of the Week
1. Trust God to make things happen (Romans 10:13).
2. Begin executing today; do not delay (Romans 13:11-12).
It is time to work! Follow God’s leading, and trust that He will help you achieve your dreams.
Faith without works is dead, and the man who says he will not work because there is a chance of inclement weather is lazy (Proverbs 22:13) & (Proverbs 26:13-15).
The appointed time for our vision is now. The time for praying, fasting, and planning is over!
It is time to execute what God has laid upon our hearts; let us do so with complete trust in the abilities and faithfulness of the Eternal Creator. He will never leave us nor forsake us!
With God nothing shall be impossible.
Be triumphant, and glorify our Lord Jesus with your victory.
Blessings and felicitations from the Throne of Grace.
Weekly Nugget: “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:2-3; KJV).
