The visionaire's journey of hope




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!!!

Future knower



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!
