What to do about your Visions?

 ‘‘For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end, it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.’’ Habakkuk 2 verse 3

When God gives you a word about your future or a prophecy. Hold fast to that word until you see its manifestations. However, not every word you receive is for now. Most times God is just preparing you ahead so that you can take a posture for what is coming your way.

A good example is David. We read the spectacular way he was chosen and anointed to be the King of Israel. Anyone would think he should have mounted the throne right away. If God anointed him, everyone else should bow and carry him to the throne. At least that’s how I felt the first time I read that account. I just thought no time to waste. Saul had been rejected. David had been anointed to replace him. What is everyone else waiting for? Isn’t God’s word the final say?

A lot of people have stepped out to carry out visions God placed in their hearts and when it didn’t work out, they questioned if they really heard God. Some visions have an appointed time. These kinds of visions require a different you. A different mindset. A different tenacity. A solid conviction in your spirit. These things need to be built in you for that vision to manifest which is why we go to God praying about it, meditating on these things, and confessing it. As we do this time and again, we become the true custodians of that vision. We own it and it truly becomes ours.

Although David was anointed to be the King, his path to the throne was not straightforward. He went through a lot of trials. He served under Saul. He also became a mighty warrior that the people sang praises of. He became a leader who raised feeble and downtrodden men to mighty men of valor who won battles for him. He gained aides and allies. He learned honor for men whom God had anointed. For me, I would say he was anointed for the process. He became worthy of the vision God had placed before him. God eventually brought His word to pass.

Check the vision again and pray about it. Is it for now? Or is it for an appointed time? What are the steps to take towards the fulfillment of that vision? What kind of person fulfills that vision? If there’s someone who has gone ahead of you in that same line, you could follow them closely, just like David served under Saul for a season.

Don’t forget the place of prayer and constant meditations on these things God has spoken to you about.

It shall surely come to pass.
