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!
