This simply means you have not arrived, but must keep pushing without stopping until you get it

…In due season.

Sometimes it is not difficult to start, but the ability to sustain that which we have started.
★You will reap only when you are due. Due season will always come.
★It is not a matter of “if”  but “when”.
Success is moving from failure to failure without loosing excitement.
The Bible did not say it will always work out at the beginning,  it says it will speak forth at the end.

Pray until something happens.

No one can succeed on anything without dedication and loyalty.
Let your totality be committed in whatever you are doing.
Dedication is deadly commitment.  Loyalty is a personal commitment,  a final analysis. It means here I am, you can count on me.
Loyalty will cost you everything.  When loyalty is tested, the real man manifests.
Sometimes min testing your loyalty,  your convenience would be affected.

How loyal are you to Jesus?

Day 7&8 Bishop Ugbah -Vision

Running with your vision
1 Corinth 8; 23-2

Only runners obtain!
Every one that runs has his eyes on the crown,  this is vision, every believers eyes is looking towards obtaining the crown
God has given you a destination,  you must take steps towards the direction.

No vision comes to pass until you take steps towards the direction of your vision.
Vision sets a man on motion

How to run with your vision
1. Start from where you are.
Start small,  there is something in 5our hands.
If you are not ashamed to start small, God will not be ashamed to make me grow to greatness.
What you have is enough for what God wants you to do.

Until you go through the shame you cannot see the glory
Live your size per time, and avoid a fake life. Fake life is a tension filled life.
Isaiah 28:10, job 8:7, Zachariah 4:10
Nobody can contest your great  future

2. Be prepared to make sacrifices
Any vision that does not cost you something is not worth the trouble.
Your assignment may even cause you some relationships -friends that will not add value to you.
You make new friends at every level of your achievements.
Your level of sacrifice determines your glory.

The height that you desire to attain must cost you something

3. Be optimistic
Think positively

4. Do it
Genesis 12:4
As long as Abraham waited, he didn’t enjoy the promise. He only had the vision.
The blessings of the promise is for those that do it.

The race of life answers only to runners and not spectators

Genesis 13:2
Distinction answers to only men and women of action.
Pursuit is what gives life to your purpose.

The greatest developer of a hidden talent is hard work. This is because it challenges and brings out the best in you.

A grounded life is a grounded future.
Do it. Don’t let that vision die in your head.

No status changes until one takes a step to change it.
God does not encourage idleness, Mand so he will not do for you, what He has already empowered you to do,

Don’t sit on your breakthrough and turn round to blame the devil.
Stop being a missionary,  be a visionary. Give motion to your dreams.
Give actions to your intentions.

Day 4-6 Moving to the top, Bishop Ugbah

Psalm 119:18 NIV
Open my eyes that I may see, wondrous things in your law
Vision is the pathway to the top
Ephesians 1; 18
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people

2 Kings 6:17
17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Genesis 21:19
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.

It was vision that saved Ismael.
This year God will  Open my eyes to see
Where others see grass, u will see grace
Where others see blockage, I will see opportunity

How to recognize a God given vision
Daniel 10:7
Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; those who were with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves.

Habbakuk 2:1-4,
Jeremiah 29″11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares theLord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

My future is colorful,  an heir who does not know what his father had may end up in penury.  So is a Christian who has not discovered the promises of God.

God has deposited so, etching in my account.
God packaged me for beauty and glory, and the devil did not truncate it in Jesus Name. There is no need to envy anyone.

Until there is a discovery, there cannot be a recovery.

WHAT VISION IS NOT
Vision is not ambition
You may succeed in the ambition, but it will be a struggle

Vision is not an impression

Vision is not  imagination

Vision is not my circumstance or situation
Vision is irrevocable,  but circumstances may change

Don’t tKe important decision when under pressure
Don’t let the enemy box you to a tight corner. Stay because the storm will soon be over.

Reaction is not vision
You do not become called into ministry after you have lost your job

Vision is not confirmations and affirmations
This is subject to manipulations

Vision is not association
Everyone has his own track

WHAT THEN IS VISION?
Vision is a divine insight into God’s plans and purposes for your life
Having a divine insight into your placement in life

You can only blossom where God has placed you.
It is the delivery of divine plan.

It is the capacity to see beyond your eyes.
The eyes that look are common,  but the eyes that see are rare.
This is because vision is a function of the heart while seeing is a function of the heart.

Vision is divine. It is  given by God
vision is given when you ask.
If you don’t ask, you won’t received.

COMPONENTS OF DIVINE VISION
John 4:34-35

1. Vision dominates life
2. Vision enhances purpose
3. Vision brings focus
4. Vision brings discipline in time, etc
5. Vision generates speed
6. Vision makes you impact conscious.

Day 5
1. WATCHING or waiting stage
★ Every answer from God is a vision
★Everything God says and you pick, is a vision
★Every God given vision is in stages

2. Documentation Stage
Write it down
3. Planing stage
No vision has a future without planning
There is no vision without planning.

4.Execution stage
This is the difference between a visionary and a missionary.
 A visionary knows where he is going,  but a missionary is already on tfield

5. Implementation stage
A  vision only has a future when you step out to Implement it .
If  God have you the vision,  He will take steps to implement it,
Turn that vision into a mission. 
Take steps towards the fulfillment of that vision,

Vision without motion,  ends in frustration.

Thr 4 Elements of a Divine VISION
EVERY divine vision must answer 4 questions

1.  What is the content of your assignment for 
Isaiah 40:6
If God called or sent you, what did he ask or send you to do

2. Location – That place God sent you to, where is the place,?
Thee is always a landing place for the fulfillment of every vision. 
Vision does not always flourish in every place,  except the place.  There is a place where sacrifices flourish. Some  giving will reduce  the giver because they gave in the wrong place
Jonah1: 2-3
When a man refuses to go to where he is sent to,  he will go to the wrong place. Lord let me never be at the wrong place. Order my  steps this year, let me not side step

When it is not yet time,  the man suffersIt took David 9years of being pursued into the bush by Saul, until it was time to bring him, forth
.ECCLESIASTES 9:11-12
When the time comes,  the person suffers.  There must be a collusion of time and chance for there to be a lifting .
If  you are the right place at the wrong time, or at the wrong place in the right time, it still will not work out.

3. VISION- The How -resourcesGod does not give you a vision without provisionThis vision may be to acquire skills. David under studied Saul and it made it a better King. It could entail learning a tradeMathew 6;:22-23 NKJV

When you look up, you will see differently

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE?
★seeing differently
Mark 7:34
If you desire to break through that cycle that no man has ever crossed, see the coons of God.

In Genesis  28, Jacob got to a place running from his brother,  and the sun was set. In that state of despondency,  he took a stone and laid down, there he saw the visions of God and God spoke to him

In Genesis 31 when Laban began to dribble him
Vision will always speak for you.
Engaging the supernatural,  seeing the impossible

That Name Jesus- Pst. Ekerete Nkom

Acts 3; 2-6
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares theLord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
3    Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4    And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5    And He gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

Acts 4:10
10    Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

This man was helped room where he could receive arms, when a man helps you, the help us limited.
I will not return the same way came I, I will not en the way I ended in 2015.
One encounter with the man Jesus changed the story.

There is power in the Name of Jesus of Jesus
