There is a vital secret for impact, which once contacted will set an individual up for a life of perpetual impact. That vital secret is vision. Vision is to impact what air is to man. Without it man would perish. That’s why Proverbs 29:18 says, WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. The word perish here does not mean to die or expire. It means to be stripped of honour and dignity; it means to loose worth or value. To live without vision is to die in frustration. That is why no matter the looks, money; possessions, social background or academic qualification of a man, if he does not know his purpose for living, he has no place to occupy on this earth. Martin Luther King once said, “If a man has no purpose for living he is not fit to live”.
A life of impact begins with a sense of mission; it begins with a discovery of your purpose. It will be foolish for a man to arrive at the airport with his luggage and when the porters carrying his bags ask, “Sir, where are you going?”, he says, “I don’t know but I want to get a boarding pass!” That’s absurd! Such a man is setting himself up for embarrassment and frustration; he could even be arrested as a criminal!
Unfortunately there are too many people in the body of Christ, eating and drinking, yet going nowhere. But the end-time Church to which we belong is made up of visionaries. Joel chapter 2 heralds the arrival of the end-time army: “ Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They SHALL RUN LIKE MIGHTY MEN; THEY SHALL CLIMB THE WALL LIKE MEN OF WAR; and THEY SHALL MARCH EVERY ONE ON HIS WAYS, AND THEY SHALL NOT BREAK THEIR RANKS” : Joel 2:1-7
You will observe that one characteristic of this glorious group of people is vision. They are men who have discovered the course of their lives and are marching on their ways. Each one knows where he belongs and excels there. No wonder they move like mighty men.
TO GOD WHO ENABLES BE THE GLORY, HONOR AND MAJESTY.
