This
Month's Feature
In the first edition of
The Voice of A Godly Woman the feature article was about
VISION. In relationship to the vision of the A Godly Woman
website it was an easy start. At this point I find it appropriate
to continue along those same lines as I continue to go forward
with the vision that God has given me. In my case the vision
was right there in front of me I just didn't know it. Since
that time it has been made very clear that this is something
that I am supposed to do and the questions keeps coming
up...Now What? As I have been pressing forward over the
past few months with this vision I have had a few revelations
as to the answer to Now What? So here it goes....
Walking
Out The Vision
Establishing the vision for your life can sometimes feel
like an overwhelming task. But I have recently found that
it's much easier than trying to walk it out as it comes
to pass. Once God gives you a vision and you are able to
recognize it clearly, where do you go from there? There
are different paths you can take to arrive at any given
destination, but how do you know which path to take. We
all know that there is more than one way to skin a cat but
if you please, that is something I would like to do right
the first time. The same goes with life. We know that there
will be bumps along the way but avoiding unnecessary bumps
would be great.
So, pressing on, how do you begin to walk out the vision
that has been set before you? This is the question that
we will try to work through.
Well one thing is for sure; it takes faith in God to be
able to see the vision and it will take that same faith
to be able to see it through to fruition. Now something
we know from God's word is that "...faith without works
is dead." James 2: 26. So you have to take a step.
And something else we know is, "The steps of a righteous
man are ordered by the LORD.." Psalms 37:23 This speaks
volumes to what God has to say about how the vision will
come to pass. He ultimately does all of the work but He
works through us. We must be willing to go when and where
He says go in order for it to get done. This means you must
be able to hear from God.
That leads me to the following conclusion: You must have
a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ in order for the
vision to come to pass. I stress personal because it is
one thing to have faith in God and say that you believe
for salvation but it takes more, much more, in order for
Him to guide you. You MUST submit your will to the Lords
and the only way to know His will is to know His word. God
says that "... all things must be done decently and
in order." 1 Corinthians 14: 40. There must be order!
There also must be discipline! To be his disciple you must
learn and exemplify the very character and nature of God.
It is when we activate these principles in our lives that
God will lead us to where he would have us go.
Are you ready to walk out God's vision
for your life?
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour,
I invite you to do so right now! Ask the Lord to allow his
Holy Spirit to take residence within you at this very moment.
Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth
that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised
him from the dead, you shall be saved. Thats
all you have to do: believe in him, and accept him. Remember
you don't try to get clean before you accept him, you accept
him so he can cleanse you!.
If you have accepted Jesus into your life for the first
time. Please write to us and let us know so that we might
be able to pray for and with you. Also we would encourage
you to find a church home as soon as possible so that you
might be welcomed personally into the body of Christ and
learn better what vision God has established for your life.
