RUN WITH THE VISION

Memorise:
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: .. Joel 2:28

Read:
Numbers 14:1-9

Message

In today's memory verse, God promised that He would pour out His Spirit in the last days, and old men will dream dreams while the young men will see visions. Whether you are old or young, God wants you to do exploits with His Spirit that lives in you.

When God gives you a vision, He expects you to run with it. You may encounter obstacles, but you must see beyond them. For example, in Numbers 13 and 14,Moses sent 12 spies to search the Promised Land and bring him a report. The 12 spies returned with giant grapes to show that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey; however, ten of them complained that there were giants in the land. Caleb and Joshua, who had a clear vision of God's promise, said, "We saw what you saw with our physical eyes, but if this land eats up its inhabitants, then there would be no people there. God gave us the vision, and He will help us take the land. Let's go ahead and possess the land." The Bible says in Numbers 32:11-12 that while all the children of Israel in that generation perished, only Joshua and Caleb made it to the Promised Land.

Beloved, the vision God has given to you will sustain you and prolong your days. No matter your age, if you can still see what God wants you to see clearly and are ready to pursue it, He will ensure that He keeps you alive and in good shape. Abraham was 75 years old when God called him to go to a land He would show him (Genesis 12:1-4).Because he was willing to run with this vision, God kept him alive until he was 175 years old (Genesis 25:7-8).

If God has given you a vision, run with it; do not give in to any obstacle. Also, do not run ahead of God, as this will only lead you into trouble. Habakkuk 2:3 says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry" This means that you need patience to run with the vision God has given you(Hebrews 12:1). This way, you will not make hasty and rash decisions as you pursue the vision. I pray that you will fulfil every vision that God has given to you, in Jesus name.

King James Version

Numbers 14:1-9

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. [2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! [3] And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? [4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. [5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. [6] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: [7] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. [8] If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. [9] Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.
RCCG Hymn

Onward, Christian soldiers!

  1. Onward, Christian soldiers!
    Marching as to war.
    Looking unto Jesus,
    Who is gone before;
    Christ, the Royal Master,
    Leads against the foe;
    Forward into battle.
    See His banners go.

    2. Onvoard, Christian soldiers!
    Marching as to war,
    Looking unto Jesus,
    Who is gone before.


  2. At the name of Jesus
    Satan's host doth flee;
    On then. Christian soldiers
    On to victory!
    Hell's foundations quiver
    At the shout of praise:
    Brothers, lift your voices.
    Loud your anthems raise.
  3. Like a mighty army
    Moves the Church of God:
    Brothers, we are treading
    Whore the saints have trod.
    We are not divided.
    All one body we
    One in hope and doctrine.
    One in charity.
  4. Crowns and thrones may perish.
    Kingdoms rise and wane;
    Hut the Church of Jesus
    Constant will remain:
    Gales of hell c an never
    'Gainst that church prevail;
    We have Christ's own promise-
    And that cannot fail.
  5. Onward then, ye people,
    loin our happy throng;
    Blend with ours your voices
    In the triumph song:
    "Glory, praise and honour.
    Unto Christ the King",-
    This, through countless ages.
    Men and angels sing.
