A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these powerful scriptures and the thought that often, we leaders, have multiple visions we are pursuing.
Though we are experiencing breakthroughs in this season because of our past decisions to mix our faith with past visions, our success is guaranteed in the midst of trouble and famines only when we keep god first.
“In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.”
Psalms 37:19 NIV
“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us spreads and makes evident everywhere the sweet fragrance of the knowledge of Him.”
2 Corinthians 2:14 AMP
Selah
It is important that we maintain visions for each important area of our lives: our faith, our health, our marriages, our family, our finances, and our community.
With objectives of Achievement, Restoration or the Pursuit of God; each vision has their own distinct paths, timelines, and urgencies but the common success habit is maintaining the daily sacrifice of prayer and worship unto the Lord.
We see the consequential evidence in scripture of the children of Israel’s struggle in this area. Let us learn from their mistakes.
“Because of the transgression [of God’s people—their irreverence and ungodliness] the host will be given over to the wicked horn, along with the regular sacrifice; and righteousness and truth will be flung to the ground, and the horn will do as it pleases [by divine permission] and prosper.”
Daniel 8:12 AMP
Amen
Finally, vision creation can follow two approaches: a defined end model or a more iterative process of flow. Either approach can be successful and both demand use of short term “milestones of success”.
Each approach also has similar process steps:
- Dream bigger.
- Decide what you want.
- Hear from God.
- Develop a faith action plan.
- Confess the Word in faith.
- Focus on daily execution.
Now is our time to reflect and decide what impactful visions we have for this next season and how we can bring greater honor to the kingdom of God.
Scripture validates that we are made for signs and wonders and nothing is to hard for God:
“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.”
Isaiah 8:18 AMP
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? …” Genesis 18:14 NIV
When we do this, we know that the “the sanctuary will be cleansed and properly restored.””
Amen
Be Blessed!

“Out of one of them (Antiochus IV Epiphanes) came forth a rather small horn [but one of irreverent presumption and profane pride] which grew exceedingly powerful toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land (Israel). [Dan 8:23]
And [in my vision] this horn grew up to the host of heaven, and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled on them.
Indeed, it magnified itself to be equal with the Commander of the host [of heaven]; and it took away from Him the daily sacrifice (burnt offering), and the place of His sanctuary was thrown down (profaned).
Because of the transgression [of God’s people—their irreverence and ungodliness] the host will be given over to the wicked horn, along with the regular sacrifice; and righteousness and truth will be flung to the ground, and the horn will do as it pleases [by divine permission] and prosper.
Then I heard a holy one (angel) speaking, and another holy one said to the one who was speaking, “How much time will be required to complete the vision regarding the regular sacrifice, the transgression that brings horror, and the trampling underfoot of both the sanctuary and the host [of the people]?” [Luke 21:24]
He said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be cleansed and properly restored.””
Daniel 8:9-14 AMP
