be able to understand the bigger picture of
God’s plan in their life.

Questions to ask yourself
• Why has He brought me here?
• Why do I live where I live?
• Why has He put me in this college, this office,
this community, this church?
• Have we related where we are to God, and
asked Him: Why am I here?
• Are there connections God wants us to make,
perhaps with neighbours, co-workers, fellow
students?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR LIFE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACOMPLISH ?
WHAT IS THE PICTURE YOU FORESEE ?
WHAT IS THE PORPOSE OF YOUR LIFE ?

God’s plan for you
• Genesis 1:1
• Genesis 1:27
• Genesis 2:15
• Jeremiah 1:5

God’s plan for you
• Ephesians 1:4
• Isaiah 44:1,24
• Isaiah 49 :1
• Psalm 139 :16

God’s Purpose in your Life
•
“The purpose of life is far greater than your
own personal fulfilment, your peace of mind,
or even your happiness. It’s far greater than
your family, your career, or even your wildest
dreams and ambitions.”
- Rick Warren

be able to understand vision and the
motivating factor behind your vision.

What is a Vision
• It is the big picture of what you want for the
future and encompasses your mission, values,
goals and objectives.
• It lists where you see yourself some years
from now.
• It inspires you to give your best.
• It shapes your understanding of why are you
working here.

Are visions God given?
Prov. 19:21
“ You can make many plans,
but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.”
James 1:17
“ Whatever is good and perfect comes down to
us from God our Father.”

Are visions God given?
Nehemiah 2:12
“……..the plans God had put in my heart for
Jerusalem.”

be able to understand prophetic vision.

Prophetic vision
• Vision is God’s perspective given to humanity.
God gives the prophet a vision and we
respond.
• Vision in the Bible is synonymous with vision
from God. God shows the prophet a vision of
what is or what will be.

Prophetic vision comes in three ways.
1.The word of God comes to us through the
Bible.
2. Spirit-led revelation. Through prayer and
intercession.
3. Through the church.

• Proverb 29:18
• So “prophetic vision” comes through reading
God’s words, spending time in God’s presence,
and listening to God’s church. When we close
ourselves off to these areas, we perish.

Visionaries of Bible
• Moses- exodus 3
• David- 1 Samuel 17
• Nehemiah- 1:5
• Peter - Acts 10:9-18

be able to draft their vision statement.

• Work sheet
• Develop Your Vision Statement

DEVELOP YOUR VISION STATEMENT

• Who am I?
•
• What is my deepest dream in life?
•
• To fulfil my dream what do I need to do?
•
•
• Why is it important to me?
•
•
• Does God want me to do something about it?
•
•
• What can I do about it?
•
•
• How should I do it?
•
•
• When will I do it?
•
•
• What is the ultimate picture I can see in the future?
•
• When I attain my dream how will I feel?
•

able to write their Mission statement.

be able to understand the term, Mission.

What is a mission?
• 1 : A task that is assigned or begun.
• 2 : A task that is regarded as a very important
duty.

What is a mission?
• A mission is a very big, long-term end-result or
achievement. There may be objectives, goals,
strategies, executions and tactics all used to
achieve the mission, but the mission is the
biggest and most important thing to be
accomplished.
• The mission is a what versus a how, and is
very similar to a vision statement in that it has
a future orientation.

Mission vs. Goals vs. Objectives vs.
Strategy vs. Executions vs. Tactics

• MISSION
• A mission is a very big, long-term end-result or
achievement and is the biggest and most
important thing to be accomplished.
• Objectives, goals, strategies, executions and
tactics all used to achieve the mission.

• GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• Objectives and goals are also whats, not hows,
but they are smaller than a mission.
• Objectives and goals are interchangeable.
They are the ends toward which effort and
action are directed or coordinated.

• ACTION PLAN/OBJECTIVES:
• These are those smaller steps you need to
take in order to accomplish your goals.

• STRATEGY
• Strategy is how to achieve an objective, goal
(or even a mission).
• It is a thoughtfully constructed plan or method
or action to achieve the result.
• Strategies are devising schemes and plans and
courses of action to achieve the desired result.

• EXECUTION
• Executions are what is done to deliver on or
coordinate a strategy. They are definitely
a what, not a how.
• Execution is more about doing than thinking,

• TACTICS
• Tactics are devices or actions taken to achieve
a larger purpose. They are also a what, not
a how, but they are on a smaller scale than an
execution.
• Tactics are - making the smaller moves,
gestures and acts that achieve a strategy.

be able to differentiate between Vision and
Mission.

Mission vs. vision
• Mission answers the
question “What change
is achieved because we
exist?”
• Vision answers the
question: “What are the
results, the ends, the
consequences of our
action?”

Mission vs. vision
• Mission looks at today.
• Mission equals the
action.
• A mission is what an
organization does, its
action.
• Vision looks forward.
• Vision is the ultimate
result of the action.
• A vision is what an
organization would like
to happen as a result of
the action that it does.

Values.

What are the values?

• Building your self-confidence, based on
successful achievement of goals.

that sounds good.
• 2. A goal can not contradict any of your other
goals.

• 3. Develop goals in the different areas of life:
• Family and Home
• Financial and Career
• Spiritual and Ethical
• Physical and Health
• Social and Cultural
• Mental and Educational

• 4. Write your goal in the positive instead of
the negative.

enough.
• 7. This is the most important, write down your
goals.

next goal harder.
• If the goal took a dispiriting length of time to
achieve, make the next goal a little easier.
• If you learned something that would lead you
to change other goals, do so.
• If you noticed a deficit in your skills despite
achieving the goal, decide whether to set
goals to fix this.

SPECIFIC GOAL
A specific goal will usually answer the five “W” questions:
• 1. what is expected? What do I want to accomplish?
• 2. why is it important? Specific reasons, purpose or benefits.
• 3. Who is involved? And who is not involved?
• 4. where is it going to happen? Identify a location.
• 5. which attributes are important? Identify requirements and
constraints.
Example- I want to be successful. I want to to M.Tech in Robotics in next three years.

MEASURABLE GOAL
• Every step of your goal should be measurable.
• if you can’t measure your Goal, you can’t monitor
it.
• Measuring progress is supposed to help you stay
on track, reach your target dates.
• Example- I want to evagelise all the people.
I want to visit 20 homes in a month and pray for
them.

ATTAINABLE GOAL
• while an attainable goal may stretch you in order
to achieve it, the goal is not extreme. Too high or
too low are both meaningless
• You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and
financial capacity to reach them.
• Example- I want to win gold medal in Olympic
games.I want to learn boxing and be able to
qualify for state championship in next three years
and represent India in Olympic in next five years.

REALISTIC GOAL
• Be fair to yourself and set realistic goals within
the context of your daily life.
• Example- I want to move mount Everest.
• I want to climb Mount Everest once in my
lifetime.

TIME-BOUND GOAL
• you must create a time frame within which to
achieve your goals. It’s amazing how powerful
a firm deadline can be.
• Time required for completion of a task is
directly proportionate to the time permitted
for its completion.
• A time-bound goal is intended to establish a
sense of urgency.

TANGIBLE GOAL
• Tangible means touchable
• Goals should be tangible in order to see it, feel
it and here it.
• example- I want to love people. I will smile
and greet whoever I meet, even a stranger.
