I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14
Read
Habakkuk 2:1-3
1 I will
stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he
will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the
LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the
vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not
lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not
tarry.
Message
There are the two paramount things that will keep
you on course in achieving your destined greatness. First, you need to have a
specific dream of what you want your future to look like, and then keep the
dream alive by having a focus or vision. It is rightly said in the Bible that
where there is no vision, the people perish. Set specific and workable goals
for yourself and endeavour to work towards actualising them. Refresh yourself
daily on your dream and vision through consistent and devoted quiet time. Be an
ardent worshipper of God and give your best to the Master’s service. As you do
these, you will see the Almighty elevating you in all areas. The Spirit of God
can brighten your dream and refocus your vision. Maybe you even have small
dreams and vision, the Almighty can boost them beyond your imagination. Prior to
becoming the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, I was
the Head of Department of Mathematics at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. I was living in a mansion with a two-bedroom guest quarters. I also had a servant’s quarters with four bedrooms. All these were not part of the main house. But when I became the General Overseer, I had to live in a one-room apartment at Mushin (a poor neighbourhood in Lagos). I left my wife and children at Ilorin as a result of my mission in the church. Due to my deplorable living condition at that time, I had to tidy up things before my family could join me. Before bringing them over, I went to God in prayers and explained the challenges I was facing to Him. I told God to build a house for me. Left to me, I did not mind using the one room apartment, but the thought of housing my entire family in one room posed a challenge to me. God’s response to me was: “Son, don’t ask for a house, because I have decided to build you a city”. That response was beyond what I could comprehend. After this encounter, I began to dream of a city where everybody would be a Christian. A city where there would be no form of molestation. A city where there would be no power failure or water shortage. God began to stretch my mind to see a city where His praises would fill every mouth.

In like manner, God can give you great dreams of
greatness and visions of uncommon glory. Can you see yourself completely whole?
Can you see yourself not struggling to catch a bus but sitting comfortably at
the back of your chauffeur driven car? If you can, then you will have it. Do
you have a dream of making a phone call to a bank manager to come and collect
the money you have? Why not have a dream of driving to the airport to board
your own private jet? The vision of greatness should be so much in your mind
that your spiritual growth will be beyond limitation.

Father, give me visions of uncommon glory and
dreams of greatness.
