Possess the Passion of Vision

The fourth principle in the Twelve Principles of Vision is that you’ll never be successful without passion. Passionate people are those who have discovered something more important than life itself. Jesus told His disciples, in essence, “If you are not willing to take up death and follow Me, then you can’t be My disciples; you can’t go on with Me.” (See Luke 14:27.) Giving up false visions and ambition for your genuine vision is the path to true life.

Are you hungry for your vision? How badly do you want what God has placed in your heart? Passion is stamina that says, “I’m going to go after this, no matter what happens. If I have to wait ten years, I’m going to get it.” Again, let me say especially to young people that if you want to go all the way to your dream, you can’t sit back and expect everything to be easy. You must have the attitude of those who worked on the wall with Nehemiah: “So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart” (Nehemiah 4:6, emphasis added).

Remember that after Nehemiah first saw in his heart a vision of the rebuilt wall, he returned to his job, but he was no longer satisfied with it. He was depressed until he was working on the vision. The depression came from his passion for change. People who are satisfied with less than God’s vision for their lives will never go where they need to be.

Will you be a person who works with all your heart on God’s vision?

Prayer: Father, I desire to work on my vision with all my heart, as working for You, Lord, not for men. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: Passionate people are those who have discovered something more important than life itself.
