The Place of Faith in a Vision

Greeting!!! Welcome back to my media space. Its FEEL GOOD MAY when this blog is celebrating the second anniversary. As a way of marking the second birthday, the month of May is set aside for reflection of the two years’ journey. The first of the reflections was on bossing our feelings when pursuing our vision and dreams, click here to read it. The second was how to deal with frustrations in your single-hood. This is awesomely good! For such a fate its FEEL GOOD MAY. Sometimes back, in this blog I’ve discussed the error of Christopher Columbus the man who discovered the route to India click here to read it. He might have missed an actual shorter length but nevertheless his work, heroism, exploits and courage are well-documented and celebrated in all ages. I strongly believe that when a vision or a dream whispers we must seek to train to be effective.  But I ask, was his discovery a true vision or a mare accident whose occurrence had faith as a component? Did faith influence the accomplishment of his life? I tend to believe that faith has influence on the lives of great men who have a vision in life.

Reading the recipe or baking the cake?

What’s the place of faith in a vision, I again ask? To answer this, consider life as being fair enough to everyone and provides them with necessary ingredients and an accompanying recipe that they can translate them into a cake. The point is, the primary responsibility of the baker is to read the recipe, understand and follow the steps for a successful baking process. Doing so will amount to a baked delicious cake when the ingredients are mixed well and otherwise, we’ll end up with a cake no one wants to consume or recipe talk. This is same as receiving a vision in the invisible realm and translating it into practical working reality in the visible realm. A vision needs to produce tangible actions just as a recipe produces a cake. In the midst of the process, where is the place of faith in transforming ingredients into a cake?

Vision and Faith as functions of the heart

Dear readers, sight are a function of the eyes while vision is a function of the heart. This is because sight is just the ability to see things as they are and vision is the ability to view things as they could possibly be. That means that with eyes, people only see what is in the physical world, what their visual ability is limited to see but with faith, people have convictions of things that are not as though they are. They have hope of what possibly is unimaginable idea. The problem with sight is that it has no hope! You are not able to see anything beyond this moment and day and hence sight should never determine what our heart believes in. A vision in itself cannot function without the means of faith. Thoughts and words design a vision but faith creates that vision into a future. Friends, while it’s true that words and thoughts have creative power, its faith that is the ingredient to sees opportunities in problems and finally transforms the thoughts and ideas into great achievement. Faith is the means through which people are empowered to bring to manifestation of what is unseen. This cannot be through visual means but through an inner understanding of the self and so faith qualifies as a function of the heart.

Faith as a motivation of the vision received

Faith brings a new excitement, and understanding that men with a vision are in positions of authority. They gain meaningful insights that they are well supplied with talents and strength to pursue and win in life and therefore do not need to complain and blame others when things are not working for them. When men with a vision spice it up with faith, they genuinely gain the confidence and comfort that they will win and achieve. These people will have their spirits lifted in the midst of temporal failures. With faith a person can pursue their vision in life without fear for they do not limit their power and ability on what they possess but on the supplies of a divine power whose source is beyond them.

Real vision produces a faith that works

Historically, great innovations and discoveries have been made by successful people with great thoughts. These are people whose vision outlived them and continue to make impact even on their graves. It’s argued that ideas control the world. For a vision to outlive a person, they need not confine the idea to themselves but conceive and express it. This is faith in vision, because how you see things determines how you think and act and thus in the end whether your vision will become a reality. You see faith make people effective in their vision because they pursue with their whole hearts, strengths and will only one vision at a go in which they are fully convinced, it’s the right. To receive a vision demands that we respond immediately, and this is the only way to fulfill it. With or without the resource needed, a person must be ready to jump the ship and stir it in the unknown path which can only be possible through faith. How else do you set on journey to unknown land across vast amounts of water in an ocean for Columbus? This is because of faith, cutting off all the fears and admitting that this vision is beyond our 

circumstance and from God whom we have received it from, he can choose to work with anyone.
