PREPARING OUR MINDS
MIND OF A SUCCESSFUL PERSON
VISION
We believe that: A CLEAR MENTAL PICTURE OF A BETTER TOMORROW, GIVEN BY GOD, MOVES A PERSON TO BELIEVE THAT IT NOT ONLY COULD BE DONE, BUT IT SHOULD BE DONE.
Once you have captured this vision , you must find ways to communicate it to your people, in order for it to work. Winston Churchill they say is a master at communicating vision to his people and the tools he uses then were: "Strong Beginning; One Theme; Simple Language; Pictures and Emotional Ending".
BIRTH OF A VISION
For many people , their vision begins just like an idea, without much details or clarity. With time the idea turns into a major area of interest, and later than sooner becomes a passion. It then takes shape right inside their mind. Hence in many ways , the birth of a VISION is much like the birth of a CHILD. It goes through various stages before it matures.
1. Before you can have a clear cut vision you need to have intimacy with GOD, in order to conceive a vision. People who gets vision from GOD have spent time with Him in worship, quietness, solitude and reflection. This type of union enables GOD to speak and reveal what He wants that person to do. That is when GOD plants the vision- seed inside him/her.
When GOD does reveal a vision to you, it comes like a seed as mentioned earlier on, and must grow inside you. Though when planted it might initially seem unclear, or not fully formed.
The vision might take long to form and take shape, but it does and when it finally forms, that person becomes a different being entirely and he/she will not be satisfied in maintaining the status quo.
At this point there is always the temptation to back out or backslide. The devil tries to convince him/her to abandon the vision, but if he/she does not give up he/she will eventually grow and stand on his/her own.
WHAT VOICE INSPIRED YOUR VISION?
As you consider the vision you might likely pursue, bear in mind that God communicates with us with different "voices". We must remember how He has motivated us in the past before. The methods He has used.
1. THE INNER VOICE: Does your vision come from the urge for worldly things, or personal desires? Because you would not accomplish what you don't believe in.
2. THE ANGRY VOICE: Does your vision come from your dislike of one or more perceived injustice or problem? Do you see some inexcusable circumstances arising?
3. THE SUCCESSFUL VOICE: Does your vision arise from the inspiration you get from people who have already gone through the same situation?
Or you found a person you can look unto as a mentor in your life? Who will be responsible for the re-shaping of your life.
4. THE HIGHER VOICE: A truely valuable vision given by GOD. This vision helps you to take a
look from the past to guide your present through the future.
