Continuing in this weeks five-part post writing about the lessons and the things that impacted me last week at a leadership development boot camp I attended. Today is part three.
You can see part one by clicking here and part two by clicking here, but today I want to focus on something we all follow – Vision!
Part 3 – A Vision Must be God Sized & Have Time To Grow
Who would follow a vision that is easy to attain? Someone who does not have much ambition! If you want to be part of something that is meaningful and life changing then you must start to follow a God Sized vision.
A God Sized vision is one that you can not achieve by yourself, or even with the help of a few team members. A God Sized vision is a dream that you will need divine intervention to see come to pass. The reason this is a must is because when we see a vision that we can achieve by ourselves then we start to get in the way. We have the potential to become proud, we have the ability to start dictating the way and we start to rely on our own strength. If your vision is God Sized then you know you have to get out-of-the-way and rely on God to intervene! The people who often have God Sized visions see them come to pass, the people who have man-sized visions often struggle to get anywhere near them!
I want to help and follow people who have God Sized visions. I don’t want to waste my time striving to achieve something that will not have a huge effect! God Sized visions are effective and life changing!
While we are talking about visions, if you are like me you are impatient and want to see it come to pass as quick as possible. However, one thing I have learned is that a vision needs time to grow and form before you give birth to it! Let me explain! The life of a baby begins the moment it is conceived in the womb. However, it take nine months for the baby, which is already alive to grow and form so that the moment the birth occurs it can survive and grow. The longer the pregnancy the quicker growth occurs after birth.
If God has given you a vision or a dream then let it form and grow in your life before you give birth to it. The longer you let it form in your life, the better chance it has to grow into what you have envisioned!
