Your Vision

Daniel 10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

According to online dictionary,
VISION is an experience in which a personage, thing, or event appears vividly or credibly to the mind, although not actually present, often under the influence of a divine or other agency:
a heavenly messenger appearing in a vision
Compare hallucination.
something seen or otherwise perceived during such an experience:
The vision revealed its message.
a vivid, imaginative conception or anticipation:

Bob Logan defines vision as “the capacity to create a compelling picture of the desired state of affairs that inspires people to respond; that which is desirable, which could be, should be; that which is attainable”.

He also stated that, “A godly vision is right for the times, right for the Church, and right for the people. A godly vision promotes faith rather than fear. A godly vision motivates people to action. A godly vision requires risk-taking. A godly vision glorifies God, not people”.

Though Daniel was in the company of others, he alone saw the vision. Why did Daniel alone see the vision? Daniel’s state of heart positioned him to be reached by God. He alone humbled himself, sought God in prayer and fasting, mourned for the sin of the people of Israel watching and waiting for God to answer him.

Jesus Christ said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). This implies that you can reach any height in God. You can achieve greatness irrespective of your family background, educational attainment or the limitations in your life. The basic requirement is that you must hunger and thirst for God and His purpose for your life.

What is your Vision like?
How does it affect your life?

Will the end result glorified God or human?
