It's just one day left for this month to end. Have you caught light for the remaining months this year?
Yesterday we learnt about the place of Constraints. Today we'd learn about endurance.
VISION DEMANDS ENDURANCE
Only those who reach the finish line are rewarded. No matter the skill level or how many medals a runner has, if he stops before he reaches the finish line he won't have any reward. Endurance means the 'ability to endure hardship; the measure of a person's stamina or persistence.' What we see when visions are unfolded by God are only images of the end, the results that would be obtained. There are Processes and the process would always involve some hardships, some trials and tests. For our Lord Jesus it is recorded in Hebrews "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he SUFFERED" -Hebrews 5:8 Jesus learnt obedience through suffering.
In the Journey of vision we must be willing to take up the cross that leadership offers and bear it with Grace. Jesus endured the cross, despised the shame and now is seated at the right hand of the Father. Before the crown there always comes a cross. Endurance is a virtue that is needed by the visionary. An equivalent to endurance in Galatians 5 is longsuffering.
We can only see and get results when we hold on to the vision long enough. What makes a seed to sprout through the hard ground to the surface is its endurance. It may take months, days, weeks but its stamina and persistence will eventually yield fruits. Joseph, Moses, Elijah, The Israelites in Egypt, and many other persons in scripture are examples for us to follow.
KEY POINT
1. Know that God would always be with you in times of trials and temptations.
