Vision (A Push and Start Car)
A vision is like a push and start car. At the beginning, you must be the one pushing it, and once it starts, the vision will be the one pushing you.
Don't be discouraged when you see your struggle and sweat now as many do believe that God who gives the vision will surely make provision.
Yes it is true , but there are some stages in the pursuit of your vision that it is not always so. At the initial stage, things beyond your imagination may happen that can make you to be almost frustrated and quit the vision, for example seeing yourself not having transport money to a place were you are called to minister.
Never worry, same thing happened to my daddy Gbile Akani, but we see the glory today
That you are not seeing any provision does not mean God is not involved, it may sometime mean that the time of manifestation has not come.
Therefore, never be discouraged. Keep on pushing the vision , keep on carrying the vision about, a time will come when the vision will be the one carrying you about.
Vision is like a baby in the womb of a pregnant woman, you see her pushing her big belly around but a time will come when the child will grow up and he will be the one taking the mother around at her old age.
Just imagine if you travel abroad not because of visa lottery or scholarship, but because of invitations to showcase your vision. It will initially come to reality from the realm of imagination, don't cast the imagination down, it is a picture of the future in your mind.
Just relax, you are getting there, it is a matter of time. Persistence matters a lot, never relent.
If your vision cannot provide your daily provision now, wisdom demands that you may get another job to provide you daily bread and keep the spirit, soul and body together.
Because at times, frustration comes easily when you depend on your vision to meet your daily needs when it is not fully mature.
You may be desperate to work things ahead of God's time and you begin to work things out by yourself because you want manifestation, I am speaking from experience.
Your fasting and prayer to see the manifestation of your vision may end up as a result of the fact that you just want something to happen at all cost so that you will leave the level of financial backwardness and enter a new level.
Your passion may tend to shift from seeing lives to be blessed through your vision to seeing yourself to be blessed.
God did not plan to use you because he wants to bless you, he chooses to use you because he wants to bless others and your reward is tied to the level of the blessings people derive from the aroma of your vision.
God saw a need in the life others that is why he chose you and put a vision in your heart to pursue. Your vision is not a solution to your own problem but a solution to the problem of others.
But if you put the reward of yourself first, you may miss the mark.
And this temptation comes when you are depending on your vision for provision at a time the vision has not built financial stature. Surely, a time will come when the vision will become a big tree that all birds would come to make their tents.
A time will come when the financial reward that comes through your vision will feed thousands.
Before the time comes, you can encourage yourself by doing one thing or the other, as the spirit leads.
I am not saying you should neglect your vision to get a secular job but in preparation for manifestation you can find something doing to help yourself and even meet the needs of the vision.
I fell victim of this after my NYSC, because of my passion towards my vision, I refused to do circular job in order to concentrate fully on my vision. During this period, things became difficult, because the little resources coming from the vision then could not cater for me and the member of my ministry.
I began to loose respect in the sight of some of my followers because of some financial inadequacies.
Their believe was that within a year the whole world would hear of Mathew 6 :33 drama and evangelical ministry due to how people were getting blessed each time we went for ministration. But many years passed, no manifestation, instead of seeing manifestation after fasting and prayer, I saw God telling me to write the vision down because the vision is for an appointed time and everything can only be beautiful at His own time says the writer of Ecclesiastics
When the bridegroom( manifestation ) of my vision delayed many of the virgins (ministry member) who were waiting for his coming, they began to sleep while some who still had oil (passion) to follow were asking me with passion that bro Banjo we have left all to follow this vision, what will be our gain, just as the disciples of Jesus asked Him.
When I discovered that they were trying to push me before the time of God, I asked all of them to go and leave me alone for now.
Because I cannot draw many to myself until I have been lifted up. Trying to draw people to yourself when you have not been lifted up can give room to many of your Isrealite ministry members in the wilderness to make your Moses loose his Canaan land.
Because they are not the vision carrier, they can't see what you are seeing, no man can understand your vision as yourself and many are not ready to believe you until they see manifestation.
Many of your vision followers may abandon you to go back, do not worry, 70 disciples also left Jesus.
At times, God usually allow all this to happen so that you will know the true ministry members.
Your true followers are those who see their vision in your vision, not those who see their monetary gain in your vision, the true followers don't follow you for gain, they follow you with gain.
That is ,they follow you to sacrifice their gain, gift and resources also.
That is why you don't need to worry at anyone who back out from your vision, those that have been choosen to work with you will surely stay.
Those who left Mike Bamiloye when he started pushing the vision of his drama ministry are regreting today seeing the same vision carrying baba Mike Bamiloye and the faithfull followers then around.
I am writing this to you because I see somebody planning to give up on his vision because of frustration of any kind.
Never give up ,it is a divine principle to push a vision before it begins to push you.
I am still pushing Mathew 6: 33 Time to Eatππ π½π publication , still pushing Mathew 6 : 33 drama ministry , still pushing Mathew 6 : 33 Musical ministry , still pushing Mathew 6 : 33 kingdom teaching Ministry.
But a time will come when this same vision will take me around likewise you. I am writing not to showcase my vision but to let you know that we are in the race together, still pushing the vision.
No retreat no surrender.
Love you all
