Everything in God has a purpose. God is a God of purpose. He does nothing without purpose in mind. Purpose is the reason for being. It is the original intent in the heart of the manufacturer. In this case in the heart of the Creator. Every created being is created with a purpose to fulfill. Our time on earth has been given to us to fulfill the Creator's purpose. There is a time for every purpose under heaven.(Eccl. 3:1) When the time for a thing is ripe, He makes everything beautiful in its time. So three things exist; purpose, time and vision.

Vision is the revelation of purpose. It is a possibility given all the factors in life and having insight into God's purposes coupled with a determination to see God's intention fulfilled in life.

Since God is a God of purpose, it follows that the revelation of His purpose (which we call vision) is the surest way to walk with God and see His power work on our behalf.

When a man wakes up to Vision he wakes up to divine intervention in his life. God conceals a matter and it is the honor of kings to search it out. When vision is revealed it gives direction and challenges purposeful living. The bible says the people cast off restraint when there is no vision (Proverbs 29:18). Other translations say where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint, or they perish. When life is lived without any restraining force of vision, the carelessness and eventual wastefulness that accompanies that kind of life is considered to be perishing. Perishing is seen when a life has no focus or direction. The prophetic revelation of God's purposes is one of the greatest stabilizers in a human life. No more strife or competition to out smart another person as you are as unique as God's vision for you. Nobody has your peculiar flavor, the combination of your experience, exposure and gifting cannot be matched anywhere else. Vision helps you to take your place in God. Your pursuit of vision is your pursuit of meaning in life. Your vision from God is to be accomplished in the time frame God has allocated.

GOD'S VISION OF YOU
God's vision is so great that no human being can fully handle it all. We all take portions of it. God's vision to bring the children of Israel out of bondage was spearheaded by Moses but could not be contained by him alone. He needed Joshua to fight the battles while he prayed and Aaron and Hur held up his hands while Bezaleel and others built the tabernacle of Moses. We have equated vision that one person receives as the totality of God's plans and purposes. We should always learn to respect and receive the portion others receive of God's overall purpose so that we can be built up. The reason for jealousy in the Body today is a lack of understanding of how God's vision works out on the earth. Every vision will go through a process as we are all being prepared for what God has prepared for us. In every given house there can be only one vision. Two visions will lead to di-vision.

Moses had a vision and every one drank into the vision of Moses. As the vision matured in the people like Joshua, they began to discover their God-given portion in the same vision. Joshua had to get involved with the grace upon Moses to carry out his portion of the vision. This principle should prevail in every house that God builds.
