Vision Is Customized
Your God is a personal God. He carefully created you. He knows you intimately. He wants to have a growing relationship with you. He, therefore, has created a personalized vision that fits you perfectly.
What a mess the world would be if God took a mechanical approach to His people. Imagine Him saying, âHereâs a pretty good generic vision, a one-size-fits-all vision. When My people seek My face and My mind, I will simply lead them to this predictable but viable vision. Let them figure out how to avoid overlap and confusion. If theyâre clever enough, it will all work out in the end.â
No, your God is so personally involved with you that He has created a customized vision for you and you alone. The vision is unique to your circumstances and calibrated to your abilities. Why would He bother? Because God is your partner in ministry. What kind of relationship would it be if He dictated the rules of the game and then simply watched you wallow in your ineptitude and confusion as you tried to put the pieces together and make ministry happen apart from His power and guidance?
You cannot copy the vision of another church or another pastor. If they have done their homework and worked on their relationship with God properly, their vision is unique to who they are and to what God has designed them to accomplish for the Kingdom. Similarly, you need not be protective of your vision because it is relevant only to your ministry.
