VISION DEVELOPMENT

"Leaders generally don't enter the ministry with expectation of giving themselves to program planning."--taken from Resilient Ministry by Bob Burns, Tasha Chapman, and Donald C. Guthrie.

A. WHAT IS VISION?

PAUSE POINT:

i. VISION IS A CLEAR AND COMPELLING PICTURE OF THE FUTURE.

ii. VISION IS MEASURABLE AND ACHIEVABLE

iii. VISION IS THAT WHICH MAY NOT BE CONTAINED BY THE VISIONARIES LIFETIME.

B. HOW DO YOU GET A VISION?

"GOD'S VISION FOR YOUR MINISTRY MUST GRIP YOUR SOUL BEFORE IT CAN GRAB THE HEART OF ANYONE ELSE."--JOHN JACKSON

KNOW THE KNOW THE MISSION. MATTHEW 28:19-20

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

KNOW THE THE HEART OF GOD    TITUS 2:11. VISION IS BIRTHED OUT OF BURDEN. NEED DOES NOT CONSTITUTE BURDEN. 

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Know where God has placed you.

Know what you have. Exodus 4:1-5

 1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.

2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

Acts 7:20-23. 20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:

21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

A. God wants to know what we possess. 

B. we must honestly identify it.

C. we have to release what we have to God.

D. RESPOND TO GOD'S INSTRUCTION.

E. He will transition what we have for his purpose. 

5. Know vision fulfillment will not be easy.

C. How do we share a vision? Habakkuk 2:1-3

1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3 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.

Make the vision easy to understand. One thing a leader must be is clear. 

Communicate it to others.

Help people understand it is visionary.

the vision will be fulfilled slowly.

Never stop sharing it.

A. believe is enough to say it

B. We have to say it enough to believe it.

C. Consistent enough such that people get it. you have to recast the vision every 30 days. 

MOVEMENT MAKERS

How Leaders Move Others

leaders move others through compassion.

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."--John Maxwell

2. leaders move others through competency.

3. leaders move others through communication. when people understand they move. communication is more than verbal. people tend to remember and connect with the story. you cannot be a good communicator unless you listen well and know what people are saying. 

"You cant be a good communicator unless you listen well and really hear what people are saying." Pat Williams with Jim Denny.

4.  leaders move through commitment.   It is okay you want to quit as long as you are not going to quit. commitment shows that you are in for a long haul. 

5. Leaders mo others through character. Leaders must have consistent character.

6. Leaders move others through crisis. Leaders must be consistent crisis creators. You cannot overplay your crisis. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis. 

7. Leaders move others through charisma. Genuine charisma is the true self of the leader. Such a person is authentic. 

"Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential". http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/crisis

HAPPY NEW MONTH

In 1 Samuel 25 Abigail gave David what Nabal withheld from him. In this new month you shall possess all that has been withheld from you and your unrepentant oppressors shall end up like Nabal In Jesus Mighty Name. You shall not lack reasons for thanking GOD In Jesus Mighty Name. Happy New Month.

Text: Philippians 3:12–16

Philippians 3:12–16 (NIV) ¹² Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. ¹³ Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. ¹⁶ Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

Updates from Lagos

Today is the first day of the 4 days of Mid-Year revival at the Shepherdhill Baptist Church, Lagos Nigeria. The day has been fruitful. I thank God that I had an opportunity to preach entirely in Yoruba language in the Yoruba service of the church today. That was a challenge initially, giving the fact that I normally write my sermon outlines in English and I have not preached in a sermon that is all in Yoruba language for a very long time. For your information, Shepherdhill has two worship services-Yoruba and English. The experience has been encouraging to the glory of God. The host pastor, Rev. Kristilere & his wife with the rest of the pastorate and the deaconate board are so hospitable.  I should not forget to mention that I kind of had a Stage fright before I spoke at the English service today. This is because the English worship took place in the main sanctuary of the church, which is so humongous. But as I handed my anxiety into the hand of the Lord, the stage fright vanished. I give God the glory.

Please continue to pray for me for the rest of the ministrations. The services are held by 6PM nightly, which is 10.00AM California time. As I am writing this blog, it is raining heavily in Lagos. I believe that this is a shower of divine blessing.

Please see below a brief outline of the message preached today.

Until next time.
Stay blessed.

26th And Still Counting….

26^th And Still Counting….

Psalm 147:1 (NKJV)

¹    Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises to our God;

For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.

Psalm 116:12–14 (NKJV)

¹²   What shall I render to the Lord

For all His benefits toward me?

¹³   I will take up the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of the Lord.

¹⁴   I will pay my vows to the Lord

Now in the presence of all His people.

Time has the tendency to bring out its funny side. It has a way of making someone seem older even when one is in denial about it. Time has its surprises. It flies and moves very quickly whether we take notice of it or not. That is what time has done to me. It is unbelievable that I have been married for 26 years ago. That is incredible. It is amazing how quick and stealth time flies. Time does not wait for anyone. It does not care whether we agree with it or not. One thing that it does well is make us realize how old we have become unknowingly.

Putting the forgoing aside, I want to appreciate God who made me to be alive today. I thank God for this 26^th anniversary. I pray that we have many more years in Jesus name. I congratulate my wife and I congratulate myself. Happy Anniversary.
