Are You Passing On The Vision?

If you were to leave today (whether it be to relocate to another place or to go home to be with the Lord)....what would those around you do tomorrow?   What have they learned from you?   What vision have you imparted?   To your children, to your co-workers, to your family, to your friends.   What impact have you made on those around you to encourage and influence them to go in a "God Direction" for their lives?

David was anointed king over Israel.   God gave David the vision on how to build the temple of the Lord.   Although David made preparation to build the temple, he died before the temple was built.   But because he had imparted and was an influence to his son (Solomon)......Solomon was able to complete the work that his father had began.   What you have to understand is that the vision was given to the father.....but the work was completed by the son.    Sound familiar.   God had a vision for our lives and He allowed His son to complete the sacrifice that was needed in order for the vision to come to pass.

That's the pattern God wants us to follow.   He wants us to make an impact.   An impact is full of power.   It is noticeable.   It brings about change.....a difference.   An impact is necessary in case God changes the direction of our lives, or should I say, as God reveals the direction He has already designated for our lives.     Always remember that although God may give a vision to one person, there are others connected to that vision to help bring it to pass.

Don't take for granted your "Jabez Encounters" today.   There are no "me" moments in God.   Everything that you do and everything that you say will make an impact on someone.....even if it's yourself.   The question is are you laying out the pattern that God has given you before those around you so that they will be able to complete the work that God wants done in the earth?
