Worship Vision

Worship Leaders by John A. White Contributing Writer September 15, 2011

Get help - Identify the necessary or critical steps needed to attain your vision and try to set a schedule for their completion. Realize that some steps can be worked on at the same time while others can only begin when others are completed. Consider how scheduling these steps will play a role in completing your vision. If you need help, identify where that help can come from and when it is needed.

Give all your available resources – I enjoy restoring cars but they are expensive. At the end of the week, I but the few dollars I have left over into a car fund bucket. Although my weekly saving does not seem like much, week after week it adds up. It's the same with vision. Your ability to reach toward your vision probably is inhibited by insufficient resources. Don't let the fact that you have only partial resources keep you from moving toward your vision. Take what you have and invest it into your vision even if it won't complete your vision. This gives God the opportunity to multiply what you have invested.

he key points to remember are 1) patiently seek vision and write it down, 2) proclaim the full and undiluted vision, 3) don't get distracted from moving toward your vision, 4) Continually give your resources toward fulfilling your vision. The last thing to do is to periodically evaluate your progress toward your vision. If your vision is to have 5 new bass and 3 new alto singers in the choir, then count how many you have. If you haven't met the extent of your vision, ask if you are on the way? If not, how can you plan differently to achieve the desired result. Maybe you could go to the local high school choir leader or vocal instructors and ask for volunteers that need some practical experience.

Vision is a key ingredient to ministry. I hope that this article inspires you to enter a partnership with God for your future through a compelling tangible vision of your own ministry. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (KJV, Eph. 3:20). May God empower to excel in the work He has commissioned to you.
