Take responsibility for your faith. This is the generation for complacency especially where spiritual matters are concerned. Look at the Word of God and stop seeking for prophecy.

What is a vision?

A vision is a mental image of what the future could be like. You cannot feature in a future that you cannot picture. A vision would always contradict your present state or stage. God spoke to Israelites about a land flowing with milk and honey and they were still in bondage that time. You don't need money to create a mental image nor do you pay for vision.

How To Create A Mental Image?

Thinking:

Stop playing with your thoughts. Let your thinking be right and stop thinking about things that doesn't make sense. A lot of people play with their thinking faculty which makes it easier for them to undermine the grace of God for their lives. The prodigal son enjoyed restoration through thinking. The Bible made us understand that he thought to himself...

Thinking helps you to analyse a situation carefully to know what step to take; whether to go ahead or to turn back.

Imagination:

It helps to imagine it. Create the image of yourself to be where you want to be or where you want to go.

Planning:

Everything calls for careful planning. After thinking, imagine it and then draft a plan. Be intentional about what you want to do and don't leave things to chance.

How Do I Receive A Vision?

Vision is seeing things the way they should be...a vision of a better tomorrow.

Spiritual Revelation:

Saul had an encounter with God. He got a spiritual encounter to know what God intended for his life through that encounter. For others it might be through dreams.

Persistent Burden:

The inquisitiveness of Nehemiah provoked a change from him which led him to weep, fasted and pray. A lot of people heard it during that time and they were not burdened by it. Nehemiah was burdened by the state of the people and Jerusalem and that was how he caught the vision which he ran with to bring about restoration. What problem gives you concern?

Association or Impartation:

Joshua was raised around Moses and got imparted by it. The same with Elisha through Elijah. You can catch a vision by association with the right people around you. A man will remain the same in 5 years except for two things: the books be reads and the company he keeps. Your association matters and overtime, we smell like the company we keep. When we walk with giants, stay on their shoulders, we don't only go far but we see far.
