REVELATION IS FOR PREPARATION

At the time your Vision comes you are not ready to make it happen. You may have a Vision to own a university, to establish a business, to give constantly to orphanages or to take the Gospel to remote areas. Irrespective of what the vision is, know that you're not yet ready to execute. A friend of mine (Leke Ademo) wrote a book titled: Vision: the Way Up!

The thought of going up, of achieving greatness can be very exciting and fill your heart with great excitement, but that's not all. The Revelation of your Purpose is not first for manifestation but Preparation. Pastor Adam Adeyemi the Presiding Pastor of First Born Faith Ministries once Ministered at one of our Fellowship Camp programs while in the University. He was to speak to us about 'Manifestation of the Sons of God' when he came up he adjusted the topic a little, he spoke instead on 'Preparation for the Manifestation of the Sons of God'. Truly, Preparation is what gives birth to Manifestation.

Think of your Vision as a God Given project. See yourself as a Project Manager, or A Contractor. When a Project Manager is given a task by a client he doesn't act out immediately, he drafts a Project Breakdown Structure, identifies resources needed, creates a Work Breakdown structure and goes on and on until the closure of the Project.

Remember God said to Habakkuk 'make it PLAIN upon tables'. Now let's Look at this scripture in different translations:

Luke 14:28
KJVLite: For which of you, intending to build a tower, SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST, and COUNTETH the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

LOGOS: For which of you, intending to build a tower, DOES NOT FIRST SIT DOWN AND COUNT UP THE COST,whether he has the resources to complete it?

Wesley: And which of you intending to build a tower, SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST, and COMPUTETH the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?

ACTION POINT
1. Sit down and count the cost. To do that ask yourself these questions:

*What must I give up to go up?
*What habits do I need to imbibe to meet the requirements of my vision?
*What kind of people must I  begin to associate with that would give me a chance of succeeding?....and lastly
*What kind of person do I need to become to fit into the Purpose of God for my life?

Remember to share your thoughts, reflections, ask questions, give your suggestions
