Commit to your vision
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The passage from Proverbs 4:18-27 encourages us to commit ourselves to our goals and visions in the Lord. The path of the righteous is like the light of the dawn, increasing until the day is perfect. We must put away wickedness and direct our eyes towards our goals, keeping our paths straight and avoiding evil. The year 2022 stretches before us like an expanse without a map, and it is important to set clear goals to live a purposeful life. We must conceive specific and concrete visions in the spirit, aiming well and hitting the target, committing ourselves to our goals and sticking to them despite discouragement. The path of life must have a sense of direction and purpose, leaving a substantial mark in the world and being remembered for making a difference in the lives of others.
The writer emphasizes the importance of having a sense of direction and purpose in life. They urge readers to set specific goals and conceive great visions for their lives, using the power of God within them. The Prayer of Jabez is cited as an example of specific goal-setting and commitment to a vision. The writer stresses the need for incubating and defining visions, as well as visualizing them in the mind. Qualities for reaching goals include determination, perseverance, and faith.
The speaker shares ten tips on how to achieve your vision. Firstly, have a clear vision and know what you want. Secondly, visualize your vision in the spirit and see it in three dimensions. Thirdly, write down your vision and keep a journal. Fourthly, declare your vision to God and others. Fifthly, choose well those to whom you declare your visions. Sixthly, keep your vision real and stretch yourself a little to achieve it. Seventhly, be specific about your vision and see its details and components. Eighthly, put your vision in prayer and pray for it continuously until you see it realized. Ninthly, recruit others to support your vision and find allies for your visions. Lastly, set a specific time to achieve your vision and set deadlines.
The speaker gives tips on how to achieve goals and visions. First, have a clear vision and write it down. Second, share your vision with people who support and encourage you. Third, take action towards your vision and break it down into smaller goals. Fourth, evaluate your progress and adjust accordingly. Fifth, believe in yourself and your vision. Sixth, surround yourself with positive influences. Seventh, be persistent and don't give up. Eighth, be open to change and adapt as needed. Ninth, stay focused and avoid distractions. Tenth, set a specific deadline for your vision. Eleventh, be willing to pay the price for your vision. Twelfth, commit to your long-term vision. Finally, do not condemn yourself if you do not achieve your goal, but continue to pursue it in faith. The speaker blesses the audience and declares success and victory in their lives.Proverbs 4-18 to 27. It says the word of the Lord, and I want to talk about committing ourselves to our goals, committing ourselves to our visions that we conceive in the Lord, 4-18 says, "More the path of the righteous" How many here are fair? I hope they all say yes. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you're just, you know? Because otherwise forget and go home and lie down to sleep. Because in Christ we are just. "Justified by faith we have peace with God" says the word of the Lord. If you are in Christ, you are righteous even if you are a scoundrel. No, no, I'm judging. No, our righteousness comes from Christ, not from us, right? We are righteous in Christ Jesus, so it says here, "But the path of the righteous," that's you, identify yourself as this passage. The path of the just is like what? "... like the light of the aurora that is increasing until the day is perfect."
That's one of my theme verses. The path of a son of God, a daughter of God, who is justified in Christ, who lives a life of integrity, is like an arrow going up, up until it reaches its target. The life of a Christian is a journey, it is a walk with purpose. Let me skip, to save a little time, to verse 25. So remember, "the path of the just is like the light of the dawn that is increasing until that day is perfect." A statement, right?
