Topic: YOUR BLUEPRINT FOR FUTURE REST (Part 1)
Texts: Deut 32:11-14; Gen 1:31; 2:1-3; 41:28-41;Pro 18:1; Neh 2:1-8; Matt 4:17-25; Lk 14:28-29; 14:30-32; (Ps 90:12; Pro 6:6-11)
God will not want a man to live without fulfilling his goal and agenda in life.
Blueprint is how you can write how you can achieve your conceived vision. Many of us have good picture of who we want to be but have they been written down?
Of course, eagle cannot write but God has given it a strong capacity to plan and follow up its plan to succeed for future.
Bible is filled with replica of people who plans, set goals on how to achieve their conceived goals and vision –
Gen 1:31; 2:1. God is a master planner. He plans when to work and when to rest. In His creative agenda he handles each day with a particular task with a pre-conceive idea of what to handle for each day.
If a Christian is embarking in a life vision and he never behaves like God, then such a believer is not an ambassador of God.
Many have vision for the future but never plan or set goals to achieve such glorious future.
Without goals we waste a life vision.
Gen 41: 28-41 – Here there was a vision interpreted. There is something to do. Famine lies ahead. What should they do? Joseph said, 1) Get a man who is discreet; 2) Set him over the productivity of the field to come; 3) In all the city let there be a storage centers. These are steps /goals to avert the effect of famine.
All other nations who heard about the upcoming famine but who never take step became a victim.
No matter how beautiful your vision without setting of goals, those visions will be a waste.
There is nothing impossible for a Christian that has Jesus as is his guard.
Neh 2:1-8 ; Artarxexes asked Nehemiah in v:4, What do you want to do? Because Nehemiah has something within to do he also has a ready made answers –1) Send me to Judah; 2) So that I can build it; 3) He set a time (when he was asked when is he returning). This is a man of vision.
Matt 4:17-25. Jesus knew he has a short time to spend on earth. He knew without a successor the work will die after his departure, He therefore raised man-power that will carry out the assignment after his death. The work still speaks till date. He is a man of vision.
Lk 14:28-29; Ps 90:12 – Every stage of life needs planning for a glorious rest.
Pr 6:6-11 – A goal-setter is a goal-getter. A minister, either young or old that understands this trick is a minister of future.
The Eagle is never overwhelmed by whatever size or weight of any job. The eagle has a God-given ability of knowing the size and picture of the NEST she will have to build and also the way to go about in making this picture in her mind a reality. No matter the storms, fire earthquakes that come to destroy the NEST when still under construction, the eagle presses on to build without any discouragement and she will never look back to past failures. NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN A PARTLY COMPLETED EAGLES NEST. The eagle knows that the job must finish and she will finish it.
A man that is easily discouraged can never experience breakthrough. He who changes constantly never resembles an eagle.
Every NEST of the Eagle is always a wonder to behold. This NEST can be so huge that it will support tow grown up men. She will perched this NEST in very high mountains or the tallest trees around in a very remote and unattainable spot. It is a lot of task when the NEST is yet under construction, the eagle uses very big sticks to build and many time’s will have to REMODEL the NEST each year until it may hold thousand of sticks as well as timbers taken from construction sites and paper with discarded clothes. This NEST can weigh in excess of 2 tones and should it become dirty, she will redress the NEST with fresh grass, leaves, and sticks to make it appear new again. The eagle is never a weakling and she always succeeds because she has THAT INNER BLUEPRINT OR PICTURE OR GOAL for her NEST building, A VISION DEEPLY IMPRINTED within her and so she press on with great perseverance and tedious patience until she finishes the abode for her FUTRE REST (Pr 12:24).
*The reason the Eagle succeeds is because he thinks he can. The Eagle SET GOALS. (Pro 23:7)
*It is only through the establishment of GOAL’S PROGRAMME that any life VISION can be fulfilled (Pro 18:1).
*Without Goals and Setting of Goals again, a vision is only wishful thinking. What then are GOALS?......
*….Goals are Vision with feets, Goals are set of Specific, measurable steps to achieve vision.
*When you can set goals (1) It will simplify your Decision-making process; 2) Goals will deliver you from crisis management; 3)Goals will help you to be persistent; 4) Goals will deliver you from living in the past; 5) Goals tone up your mental and physical health; 6) Goal setting will help you to constantly RESHAPEN your vision; 7) Goals help you to Realize and Enjoy the Feeling of Accomplishment at whatever and final stages.
*You are an Eagle, So start acting like an Eagle . Make sure you set-goals if you want your vision to produce your FUTURE REST.
