In business, we often call successful executives great leaders if they build large public and private companies. Entrepreneurs that start a company from scratch are often called “visionaries”. People who have the ability to see the invisible connections and make them a reality are highly sought after. In strategic planning, one of the first elements of the plan is a “vision” and “mission”, because without a clear “vision”, it is difficult to motivate the team. But where does this “vision” come from?
The “vision” that God gives you is a mental picture formed in your imagination of what your purpose and destiny is. As God reveals your vision to you, the best thing you can do is act on that vision. So finding your purpose in life requires taking daily steps towards what God reveals to you. Taking daily steps requires you to act on what God has shown you. And we do this by faith. That is why we are told to “walk by faith and not by sight”(2 Corinthians 5:7). Only when we rely on that vision that God has given us, we walk into it (by faith) and we don’t rely on what we currently see as the next step in the physical. So, faith is also essential to realizing our destiny. Without faith, it is impossible to please God because “faith” is the mechanism God uses to take us into our destiny and purpose. And God is pleased when He sees using faith because that brings the supernatural into the natural.
Therefor, passion and vision, are the first two ingredients that God gives us to realize our purpose and destiny in life. These are gifts from God himself to strengthen, motivate and lead us into our purpose and destiny. If your passion and vision are leading your away from God, it isn’t God’s vision for you, but your own.
And finally, God’s vision for you is always on His timetable and not yours. This is one of the hardest realities to accept in life. God is working behind the scenes for you and connecting opportunities and creating links for you to walk into your purpose. God has already placed your destiny within you. It is your job to discover and find your unique calling and then to take steps , by faith, each day to realizing your purpose..
