What do you need to build?
- Vision
Vision is the “power of anticipating what will be or come to be”.
Vision is the picture of the final version of the building before it is even built.
Vision is the drawing of the various parts of the building
Vision is the steps you take to get the final picture
Vision is a critical first step to build anything: either your life, family or business.
When vision is in short supply there is a guarantee of failure.
The short supply if vision is responsible for many failures: failed lives, failed business etc.
Lack of vision is the root cause of irresponsible actions and missed opportunities.
Folks sell off their stakes in a business way too early because they cannot see what the business will become.
Get a vision.
Since God knows everything it makes sense to seek God for a vision!
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish…
- Help of the Holy Spirit
You cannot build your life, family or our business singlehandedly.
Recognizing, accepting and embracing the Holy Spirit is crucial.
The Holy Spirit will provide clarity to your vision, He will guide you and make available to you the supernatural power of God.
Psalms 127:1-2 (NLT) Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
2 It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
- People
You need the help of other people to build out you vision.
There’s no one who’s self-made man.
Whatever you plan to build and you can achieve building it without the help of some other person, then that thing is likely not to a consequential entity.
A one man business can certainly be of no great consequence
You need people to build anything that will be great and successful.
The Lord Jesus Christ required 12 disciples and some women like Joanna, Susanna and Mary to preach effectively the Good News about the Kingdom of God. (Paraphrased from Luke 8:1-3 (NLT)
However, though you need people you must get the right set of people, the wrong set of people will destroy you instead of building with you!
Proverbs 16:29 (KJV)
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
So, ask God to attract the right kind of people to you. Then, maintain good relationship with people you find.
