2. RUN TO GOD

3. HABAKKUK 2:1-3
I will take my stand at my watch post
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
And the LORD answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.

4. Prepare Yourself
- Ask God to give you clarity
- Position yourself to receive His vision
- In prayer
- In the Word
- Take a posture of expectation
- Pen in hand
- Ears open
- Mouth closed

5. Habakkuk 2:2 (HCSB)
The Lord answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it
on tablets so one may easily read it.
Receiving God’s Vision
- Capture it
- Record every last detail
- Become memory independent
- Clarify it
- Could you articulate it to someone else?
- Meditate on it
- Share it
- Pass the vision on to those who need to hear it
- Repeat it regularly

6. Habakkuk 2:3 (HCSB)
For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the
end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, since it will
certainly come and not be late.
Don’t Get Impatient
- The vision may not fulfilled immediately
- The vision will be realized in God’s time
- Remember God is eternal
- Not bound by the constraints of time
- The vision will be fulfilled at exactly the right time
- Determined by God’s perfect plan

7. RUN with the VISION.
RUN with it after catching it!
----
VISION is the place where tomorrow
is shaped.
VISION motivates ministry and
determines achievement.
[borrowed from Dave G.]

8. —
George Barna says only 4% of pastors have a
vision for their churches. Only 4%!
Can you imagine if the 96% will just catch a fresh
vision from God?
We must have direction for the future. Leaders
must not be easily distracted, confused and lost.
WE MUST HAVE VISION. Let's RUN with the
Vision of Glorifying God and Making Disciples!
WILL YOU RUN WITH ME ?

9. HABAKKUK

11. “Vision is a preferred future.
A destination.

12. Vision always stands in contrast
to the world as it is” — Andy Stanley

13. The most tragic thing that can
happen to a person, organization
or church is not death or
undeserved extreme difficulties
but rather living and moving
without purpose or vision.

14. 2 TYPES of “Vision”
• Human Vision is picture or goal
of what you want to
happen in your life. This
is Ambition.
• Divine Vision is God’s picture
and goal that He wants to
accomplish in your life.
This is Destiny.

27. POWER wasted due to WRONG
focus of sight and energy
300 Whales
Some years ago a headline told of 300 whales that
suddenly died.
The whales were pursuing sardines and found
themselves marooned in a bay.
Frederick Broan Harris commented, “The small fish
lured the sea giants to their death.… They
came to their violent demise by chasing small
ends, by prostituting vast powers for
insignificant goals.”
STE your life Don’t WASTE your LIFE Don’t WASTE your LIFE Don’t WASTE you

36. Helen Keller was asked once “What would be
worse than being born blind?” to which she
replied
“Having sight without a vision.”
What a profound statement by a girl who was
Deaf, Dumb and Blind.
Could not help how she came into this world but
she sure could help how she
left this world.
