Gen 37:15-19
• We live in a dreamer’s world.
• Can any man cause himself to dream? No.
Jer 29:11
• God has a plan for every one of us, it is our duty to discover it.
• The plan God has for you is called your purpose.
• If the plan is with God, it means you need to get it from God through His ordained systems.
• A person who is not born again is far from discovering their purpose.
• What we call purpose is actually God’s vision for you.
• VISION, not ambition.
Hab 2:1-2
• God will assess you based on what He has given to you as vision.
• A vision can be a product of desire, dreams, imagination and divine encounters.
• Only those with dreams dominate their world.
• Those who do not have dreams live carelessly (Prov 29:18)
• Vision sets the pace for your destination.
• Vision is what makes a person to be precise about why he lives.
• When he wakes up in the morning, this is what drives him.

How do I discover my purpose?
1. Giftings / talents (2 Kings 4:1-7, Mat 13:44-46, Luke 19:13-18)
• Check in your heart and go on a search.
• Find the talent and gift inside you and around you.
• God has given each one of us talents.
• Your talent will give you space among the greats.

2. Identify your passion
• What are you passionate about? It could be an indication of your purpose.
• Your passion could be an indication of what you came here for.
• Moses had already been driven by the passion to set the Israelites free, long before God appeared to Him.
• Nehemiah had a passion to see the house of God rebuilt.
• Many are waiting to be spoken to by God when they already have passion inside them.

• Passion could be something that you like doing or something that makes you feel unhappy when you see it e.g pain when you see children living on the streets.

3. Knowing your calling

Why is it important to seek vision?
1. It is the way to escape perishing (Prov 29:18)
2. To secure your destiny (Prov 14:12)
• If you don’t know what you are supposed to do, anything will look right to you.

3. Vision is higher than your own plan (Jer 29:11, Isa 55:8)

4. In order for you to have divine backing (1 Thess 5:24)
• When He is the one who has shown you what you should be doing, He will help you to fulfill it.

5. You enjoy angelic ministration and guidance (Exo23:20)
• When you have located vision, you are entitled to be guided by angels to get there.

6. You enjoy favour (Gen 39:5-6)

Characteristics of a vision from God.
1. Every vision from God drives the visionary
• Every morning, you wake up with energy to pursue the vision.
• Wherever you see carelessness, it is either someone has not discovered their vision or has not developed the ability to pursue it.

2. It gives you confidence (Acts 26:19)
3. Every true vision guarantees results once pursued (1 Kings 8:15)
4. Divine presence (Psa 23:1-6)

Luke 18:1, Rev 4:1
• There is an enemy called the devil whose job in heaven was to be a covering cherub.
• In most cases, many people are covered.
• Vision is not a once and for all thing.
• From time to time you will need corrections.
• You can never have these corrections if you are not a seeker of God.
• As a child of God, if you are prayerless, confusion will be your portion.
• You need to be prayerful and full of the word so that you keep hearing when He speaks.
• Don’t have an excuse that you are young, keep doing the right things.
Acts 9:5
• Prayer fuels visions and revelations (Jer 33:3), it gets you closer to your vision.
• You might not know right now, but as you pray, even the hidden talents you had will be uncovered.
• Don’t say “everyone is doing it,” you are not everybody.
• When you don’t have a vision, anybody can lead you in whichever direction.
• What is called vision is also called your assignment.
• When you locate your assignment you have also located all the money that you need.
