Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people are out of control, but how blessed is he who keeps the law.”

Your destiny is greatness!  I believe that for every child of God, the destiny is greatness.

But what is greatness?

• To the world, it is position, power, and purse.
• To the believer, it is sometimes our view of how we compare to others.
• To God, it is having a pure heart, walking in obedience, and fulfilling our assignment in life.

You are destined for God’s greatness. As you embrace His purposes and view, inside you prosper, and out of that inner prosperity comes outward manifestation.

That is why John could pray that they would prosper and be in health even as their soul prospered. True health and prosperity always begin on the inside and work their way to the outside. That is prosperity that prospers the soul and contains no sorrow.

Our ambition should be to please God!  Our desire should be to fulfill His assignment(s) for our life and then go home.  Life should be lived with a sense of destiny and purpose.  It may seem an impossible dream!   But God’s dreams are impossible to man and our frail ability, but Nothing is Impossible with Him.

If God birthed it, it is possible, and our responsibility is to pursue it.  Preparation always precedes blessing; if we do not give Him a vessel to deposit His blessing in, He will not pour it upon the ground.  He wants hearts, not just plans!

It is time to take a step toward the vision of our hearts!  Even a baby step is a step in the right direction. Inaction or being paralyzed by inadequacy, insufficiency, and what we believe is a lack of opportunity produces decay, not development.

The question is, “Do we trust God? Do we believe His word?” If we do, our actions must be aligned with and testify to that faith, that belief. Our actions and words must be positive and fully confident that what God said, God will do. 

It is time to stand up, step out, and chart our course to the first step in fulfilling God’s assignment for us. Even if you do not see its conclusion, lay the foundation for others to take the vision and run with it. Write it Down! Share it with others who believe in the Possibilities of Impossibilities in God!

Let us decide to take the first step toward fulfilling our dream and the vision He has placed in our hearts.  If God’s assignment for you is to write a book, at least write the title and the first sentence. If you believe God has called you to preach, pray, and write a message. Even if you have no place to preach it (you do), write it down!

What is your vision? Habakkuk 2:2 –“…Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that he who reads it can run with it.”  It will never be if you do not write it down, contemplate how to begin, and test it with the faithful. It will be a fantasy, not a vision. It will be a wish, not a purposed destiny. It will be the fish that got away rather than you caught. The size of the vision is not important; being obedient and the beginning is.

Today is your day! Now is the time! We do not know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow. I can tell you that taking the first step toward fulfilling a vision provides a profound sense of pleasure and purpose—it can be euphoric! That must be how Paul felt—“I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith…” 2 Timothy 4:7.

I ask that you pray this prayer: “Father, help me to listen to Your call and have the courage and willingness to begin the journey toward fulfillment.  We know that step one is total surrender to You. Step two is to do something that will open the door to fulfilling that vision. I surrender all. I am yours, Lord, everything I am, everything I am not, everything I have got, and everything I do not have. I AM YOURS!  I make that confession and declaration in my heart and declare that I will take the first step beginning today!  Amen!”

Now that you have done that, watch what God does! 

May your day be filled with God’s presence, provision, and power!
