Recently, we celebrated Pentecost. How thankful we are for God to make available the new birth via His gift of holy spirit. How incredible it is to have Christ within and fully identify with Him. With such unparalleled riches abiding in our new life in Christ, what are we to do?
Be a visionary! What is a visionary? Someone who does not see things as they appear to be, but sees things as they can or should be. A Godly spiritual visionary is one who acts on their Godly qualities to become a life-changer for others. It is someone that someone else would greatly benefit from.
Having recently read Jesus Christ Our Passover, I was encouraged by what Dr. Wierwille declared in the concluding paragraph on page 405: “We need to walk each day with a greater vision (my emphasis) of what God has given us.”
God had vision for our lives, way before the foundation of the world:
Ephesians 1:4: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:
Wow, God chose us before even creating the Heavens and earth. You have to know He has some noble calling for our life. We now live for Him:
Galatians 2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Remember, “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…” (Ephesians 2:10). What kind of vision is the Father putting in your heart to do these good works? Also remember that “It is God which worketh in you both to will and do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Let us be fully persuaded of the vision that God has set in our heart to do and to be.
