Finishing Strong (3) Don’t lose your vision – Bishop Sunny Faith Ugbah

Some people Stay in the same position and speak the same.language year in and year out. The reason is because they have never had a thought on how to do things differently. 

If you have not prepared your plans for the new year, now is the time. You do not wait for the new year to begin before you start making plans. You may not know what the new year holds,  but you know who holds the  NEW YEAR! 

1. You avoid Complacency

2. Do not lose your joy.

1 Samuel 13:6 NKJV When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.

Encourage yourself in the Lord like David. The end of the year is not the end of life, but an opportunity to begin afresh.

DECLARE WITH ME: Satan cannot steal my joy because the joy of the Lord is my strength. I will not allow any situation to steal my joy. Satan cannot make my  choice for me. It my choice to be happy in the Lord!

3. OUR VISION. Don’t lose your vision.

Physically, you know that   t

he eyes is the window of the body. A blind man in is limited and needs to be assisted.

Spiritually, the eyes is the vision

1 Samuel 3:1 NKJV Now (A)the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And (B)the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow (C)so dim that he could not see,

Eli did not see God’s anger towards his children. May your eyes vision not get dim in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Vision sets the goal. It helps a man to navigate through life. It is your over all purpose in life, and where thereo is no vision, people perish.

A blind lady was asked what was worst than blindness. Her response was : having eyes without seeing!

When Adam lost his spiritual eyes, he came down to the level of seeing and working by INFORMATION instead of REVELATION! Don’t lose your vision. As you approach the end of this year, don’t lose your vision!

The first thing the enemy does to a believer is to blind his spiritual eyes. As soon as Sampson was captured, the first thing done to him was to pluck off his eyes, and then reduced him to a grinder of mill! Even when his hair grew, he did not see, until he prayed to God to help him avenge for his eyes, and die with the Lords of the Philistines! SATAN IS AFTER YOUR EYES!

Habakkuk 2:1-4 NKJV will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected.

The Just Live by Faith
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.

WHY IS THE DEVIL AFTER YOUR VISION?

He knows he may not be able to delay you without taking off your eyes through distraction.

Your vision is your life.

Your vision promotes persistence. If a man aims at nothing, he will get nothing!

Vision is what keeps hope alive!

Hebrews 12:2
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 11:24-28 By faith (A)Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the [a]passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming (B)the [b]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures [c]in Egypt; for he looked to the (C)reward.
27 By faith (D)he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith (E)he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

Jeremiah 1:12 NKJV Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [a]ready to perform My word.”

The stronger the vision, the stronger the acceleration.

When you see well, God will give you acceleration.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR VISION?

No man can feature in a future he cannot picture!

Get ready for a glorious 2022! What picture of 2022 do you see in the spirit? Every negative picture of 2022 is cancelled in the Name of Jesus Christ..

In 2022 your dream job, promotion, marriage, elevation, dream jobs and baby dedication are coming in the Name of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

We walk by faith, not by sight. In the kingdom, we are programmed to function by truth. Throughout scriptures, there is no place where logic produced miracles! How can water filled in a pot turn out to be wine?

In 2022 You will walk by revelation and truth, and not by logic in the Name of Jesus .

Don’t give up in your dreams and VISION because of what men have said.

Let your mind begin to hook up with that glorious destiny that God has earmarked for you. Your heart desire is your Dream and vision.

John 20:29 Jesus said to him, [a]“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

HOW DO I KEEP MY VISION?

1. Keep your joy

2. Keep your faith (Hebrew 10:36)

3. Be optimistic. Have a positive attitude.

Depression is a mother of all oppression. Stop being depressed. No vision comes with a smooth sail. There would be challenges in life.

4. Keep your zeal. Isaiah 59:16-17 He saw that there was no man,
And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.)

The world does not celebrate attempts or efforts, but successes. God looks at effort and all the attempts you have made and he rewards you accordingly. The world may not be fair, but God I a good God.

5. Keep your patience. Vision keeps at the appointed time, not at the beginning. Luke 21:19 By your patience possess your souls.

It took David 9 years of Running from pillar to post to ascend the throne and then it was just two tribes that accepted him. It took him another 11 years for the remaining 10 tribes to accept him! Today, he is the greatest King of Israel Take it precept by precept, line by line people do not know the process, they only see the results

No matter where you are today, at Gods appointed time, you will hammer!

6. Receive Grace from the Author and Funisher
Say with me: I receive Grace from the Author and finisher to finish well in the Name of Jesus Christ

7. Remember that God is your helper

Forget about those you think have already gone ahead of yiu

PRAYERS

Lord I give you my Right hand to hold me accordingly to your word. You are my shield and buckler. When my father and mother forsake me, You will pick me up. As long as you live, I can face tomorrow, my dreams will come through. I will not give up in life, I will not see shame, because You live, I will live also in the Name of Jesus. Amen

Every head that is bowed in shame is commanded to be lifted up. You will not see shame or that challenge again. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has prevailed. He has broken the sceptre of the wicked in your life, family, businesses and careers in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
