There are many people in the world today who have taken pains to discover where they are going, but who are yet to accomplish anything, because vision is not automatically equal to distinction. It must be coupled with action. That is to say, it is PURPOSE PLUS PURSUIT THAT RESULTS IN ACHIEVEMENT. Habakkuk said: “ And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it (Habakkuk 2:2).”
God was saying through the prophet, “Don’t sleep with the vision, don’t just talk about the vision, don’t dance with it, “run” with the vision! Every day dreamer, the one who does nothing with his dreams, — will have nothing to show for it. Apostle Paul says, “ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain (1 Corinthians 9:24).”
The book of Hebrews also talks of the race of life saying, “… let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1). There is a race set before you, you must discover what it is and run it. There is a prize to obtain, but it is only for runners, not talkers or sleepers. It is time to run the race of destiny.
A young man who wants to be a medical doctor, he must first know which subjects to take. Then must be prepared to give it all he’s got, otherwise that dream will never become a reality. Many Christians know where they are going but are not ready to give it what it takes. People share their dreams with Pastors. They say, “O, about twenty years ago, I knew I should go into business, but I was getting myself ready” or “Fifteen years ago, God called me into ministry, but as I was sorting myself out, God called someone else to do it.”
God cannot be stranded! Whatever purpose He has for your life is transferable to another, if you are not ready for it. Men of action are men of distinction. Get ready to step out, because until you step out, you never stand out. No matter how slow your steps may be, take them any way. One wise man said, “If you cannot fly, run. If you cannot run, walk. If you cannot walk, crawl. By all means keep moving”. I have kept moving.
HALELUJAH.
