POWER OF VISION; with Joel Adeniyi

‘Where there is no vision the people perish’. Vision can be defined as the ability to see or the power to imagine things. 


Vision is the act and the power of seeing or imagining things. Vision goes beyond what the prophets in the house of God see concerning us. Vision starts with every individual: what he or she sees concerning himself or herself. Before anyone can see something about you there must be something you must have seen concerning yourself. 

But it is so unfortunate today that many are the eyes that look but few are the eyes that see. To look is different from to see. We look with our eyes but we see with our mind. Many minds have been darkened and blinded that they can’t see anything good or positive about themselves unless someone else do it for them.

 Helen Keller: An American author and educator, who were born blind and deaf, became a great woman with astonishing accomplishments in life. In 1903 she wrote two books titled The Story of my life and Optimism, in 1908 she also wrote the world I live in. she wrote many books that are making impact to the people in the world today. She became a lecturer in the school of the blind. She later established $ 2 million endowment fund for the blind and the deaf. 

What a great achievement. One of her favorite quote was “The greatest blindness in life is to have eyes without a vision.” If a blind woman could achieve greatness, what excuse do you that have two eyes widely opened have?  What you see is what you believe and what you believe is what you become. Men of vision are men on mission. They are people that can’t be carried away by anything anyhow except by their vision. 

Vision is the compass that directs and guides the path of a great person to fulfill purpose and also to achieve greatness in life. Qualitative and genuine vision is what can save a nation or individual from perishing. The ability to see ahead is a great opportunity to be ahead. If you don’t see ahead, you can’t be ahead. Vision is the sign post to purpose on earth. 

  The vision you see concerning yourself is what is important most not the vision of anyone. The vision of any prophet concerning your life should be the confirmation of the vision you see concerning yourself. Let the light of God shine into the thick darkness of your mind and open the inner eyes of your mind then you can begin to see new and great things concerning you and future. It starts with God and ends with God.

You can’t do it alone, for the fish can’t survive without its source which is God so also man can’t without the source which is God. Remember, you were born to be great and you can be great if only you choose to be. It is a matter of choice and not a must.

Have a splendid Sunday!
