God is indeed a visionaire. He saw the future of mankind when Adam & Eve sinned. He saw hardship, turmoil, pain, sickness, destruction and eternal doom. However this was not in his intention for us at all.

In order to change that negative future, He came up with a redemption plan to reconcile mankind back to Him so that we can live the kind of life He preordained for us. He sent is only begotten son to exemplify the ideal experience we all should have, died for our sins and reconcile us to God. Indeed, Christ came to change the future of mankind for the better.

As we celebrate the birth of our lord Jesus Christ today, let us not forget to give thanks to God for sending His son so that we all can have a glorious and a splendid future.

Through Christ, we know that our future is secured. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

Peace!!!

In a world filled with people of intelligence

In a world dominated by creatures of the first order

In a world where everyone is born to rule

I also press forward to take my rightful place

            

My mind is filled with hope

Yet my experiences are sometimes the opposite

Nevertheless, I refuse to let my hope be shattered

As I continuously cling to my maker to take me there

A little of doubt here, a little of fear there

None seem to derail me anymore

For I have a stronghold

That resist anything the attack my hope

Faithful is HE that has promised

What he has said he’ll do

My hope is in God

Who is always there with me to take me to my destination

Let not your hope be in man for man can fail you. Man in his natural self is always mindful of himself alone and won’t dear to help anyone. But there is a God that can always move men to work in your favor. Your future was designed by your maker and only Him can come through for you. He is the same now as then and he never changes. As long as your hope is in God, you don’t have to worry because He’s always working out something for you. You may not know how or when.  Just be hopeful and you will see the physical manifestation of His wondrous works.

The visionaire’s journey still continues…..

Today, I shall be looking at the life of a man who was also a visionaire during his time. He was indeed a visionaire that saw, believed and worked towards his future. The name of the man is Joseph- the first prime minister of Egypt.

Joseph saw a vision of himself becoming a leader and all of his brothers were bowing to him.
With that, he had a foreknowledge of what he is to become. But, it took him thirteen years before that vision could manifest. During the thirteen years of waiting, he went through certain stages that qualified him for his preordained future. I call these stages the four Ps because they all start with letter P.

1.   Parent’s house:  He grew up in his parent’s house where he learnt honesty and transparency

2.   Potiphar’s house: he was here as a slave boy but rose to become the chief servant while he was still a slave. It was there that he learnt how to be an administrator.

3.   Prison: he proceeded to the prison where he learnt how to provide leadership for people and also perfected his gift of interpreting dreams.

4.   Palace: he ended up in the palace where his vision began to speak and his brethren indeed bowed to him.

You don’t have to repeat the story of Joseph in your own day but, you can apply the principles gotten from his story and apply them into your life. Joseph wasn’t transported into his future alone, he believed in it & was prepared for it. You also will do yourself a lot of good if you live in the present preparing for your future. Like joseph, your present experience may be unpleasant and discouraging. But, don’t give up! Lay hold on the vision, believe in it & in God that has given you a glimpse of your future and the strength to keep preparing will be generated inside you. Remember, your vision will stop manifesting the moment you stop believing and preparing. If Joseph could go through those awful experiences & still became the prime minister, how much more you? The same God that was with Joseph till the end still exists. Let not your life fall short of your future by not believing and preparing. The heart of a visionaire is inside you. So live your life as one!

Peace!!!

Like a farmer waiting earnestly for the rain

Like the bat waiting for the night to come

Like a young couple waiting to become a parent

I also wait earnestly to see my future manifest

Faith is of the spirit, hope is of the mind

My faith is in God and my mind is full of hope

I see my glorious future

And I’m journeying into my future being filled with hope

My hope is neither in men nor in things

But my hope rest of my foundation in Christ

And without wavering, I am fully persuaded

For what HE has said, He’ll do

My mind maybe fragile and delicate

Life experience may sometimes attack my mind with doubt

But, hope gives strength to my mind

And I’m actively pressing on this journey

The visionaire’s journey is characterized by a lot of things such as fear, pain, faith, hope, etc. But it is left to you to choose how your journey should be characterized. Life may present to you unpleasant things. You may be going through uncomfortable experiences. You might have even reached the point that you can’t take it anymore and you want to give up. At those moments, it is the things your journey is characterized by that will either serve as an anchor to stabilize and strengthen you or serve as a terminator to cut you down and perplex you. Decide today how you want your journey to be characterized and pattern your life in that direction. Remember: you are only on this journey because God has shown you the precious things he has reserved for you in your future. Let not your life journey be because of ambition alone but, solely because of the vision your creator has revealed to you.

Please note:There are a lot of things to say on the visionaire’s journey and I am doing it bit by bit. I am describing the visionaire’s journey in the form of a poem because of the special meaning it conveys. There is still more to know about the visionaire’s journey. So watch out for more of these.

Peace!!!

One of the things that make life definitive is time. It is because of time that we can differentiate between today, tomorrow and yesterday. There is a time called the future which visionaires want to see. However, it is only on the earth that time is functional.
I mean, it is only on the earth that we have yesterday today and tomorrow. In the presence of God, everything is in the “eternal present”. God sees you as what he made you to become on the earth because the future is always in the present before God. If God has made you to be a poet, a missionary or a writer, he sees you as one.

It is from this stand point that God communicate to you a sense of what he has made you to be. He shows you a glimpse of the splendor of your future and work into your heart a knowing of what you must become on the earth. That makes you to have knowledge of your future. But, remember that God already know the future before you do. HE is the original “future knower”. HE only made you to see a fraction of the future so that you can choose to align your life with HIM. The farther you go with HIM on the journey, the more you will know about your future.

You can’t be better than what you know about your future. There is the reality of the future which your maker has worked into your being. Seek to know what the future holds for you and pattern your life after the “Future Knower”.

PEACE!

Like a pregnant woman on a nine month journey to delivery

I also look into the future to deliver my vision

Little have I seen about the future

And I know that I am on a journey

As a pregnant woman is subject to physiological changes

I also may be subject to rigors of different kinds

Life may even turn against me

But, I do know that God will see me through

The journey may be rough & stressful

The journey may be boisterous

The journey may even look like it’s unending

Still, my faith is in God that implanted the vision inside me

I haven’t seen my vision manifest yet

But I know my vision is for an appointed time

And it will surely speak

After all, there is a place of “tarrying”

Your vision is the seed of your future. A farmer that plants a seed must also be responsible for the tending of the seed until it grows up and begin to produce fruits for people to eat from it. Likewise, The Person that planted the “seed of your future” in you should be responsible to take you on the journey. He knows importance of what you carry and he is ever ready to go with you but, you need to allow him to do so. But how can you do this? IT IS BY FAITH! Have faith in God, put all your trust in Him and He will take you of the JOURNEY OF FAITH that leads to your destination in life. Remember, the best ride you can ever have in your life is the one that you allow God to lead you in the way.

As I look into the future

I behold great & marvelous things

I see a future filled with hope

But, i am surrounded with the opposite

Imagine a person sitting in a very large gathering and speaking to everybody with a microphone. Obviously, no one will see him and the most expected response from the audience is for the speaker to stand up so that they can see him. The moment he stands up, the eyes of everyone focus on him to hear what he is saying. At that point, the speaker has a platform to speak for everybody to hear and whatever he says count a lot.

As visionaires, one of the requirements we need to make our vision achievable is having people around us. Among these people are special set of people that I call “fathers of the future”. One of the things we need fathers to give us in life is an identity and a name that stem out of theirs. As for me, I have identified three fathers in my life which I believe every visionaire should have.

My first father is God almighty who created me in his image and likeness and has sent me into this world to fulfill a unique purpose.

My second father is my biological father who initiated the physical process of my coming into this world. Of all the things that I thank my father for, this single act of initiating my coming onto the earth supersede. He also gave me a name that I am proud of.

My third father is my pastor. He is not only my pastor, but also my mentor/trainer for destiny. The formation he is supplying into my life is tremendously transforming every sphere of my life.

The interesting thing is that, the name I now bear was collectively given to me by my fathers.  How do I mean?

My heavenly father made me for a purpose and has a future for me. So he gave me the vision of my future- what my future is to be according to his own plan for me. In essence, my heavenly father has given me the name “visionaire” because he has made me to see the vision of my future.

My biological father has not only given me my physical name, but he is also giving me the best education I can ever have. He believes that if I will ever be a person of significance in life, I need to be well educated. The education I am having now has enhanced my vision and has given strength to the name my heavenly father gave me.

My spiritual father is giving me the best training of my life. Not only do I need to be feed with the word of God, I also need to be instilled with correct values, standards and good prospects for the future and that is what my pastor is doing in my life. Above all the things that he has instilled in me are FAITH and TRUST. So, I am a TRUSTED VISIONAIRE that has FAITH in the future.

I have just used my story to explain how my name came into being and to also emphasize on the importance of having fathers in our lives. No one was born to be fatherless. Every person that sees himself as a visionaire must acknowledge these three people in his life because of their input in our lives. For those that do not have the three, seek to have them on time so that you can step out in the strength of their identity which you must carry.  For those that their biological father is no more or has separated from them, you can still find someone that can function in that capacity to you such as your guardian, uncle, elder brother, etc.

You need the fathers of your future. Know them, have them and acknowledge them. Remember; you were made a visionaire because you have a future in front of you and it is your responsibility to have what it takes to live happily in your glorious future.

Peace!!!
