A Letter From Pastor Flo.

Beloved, 
I thank God daily for you. It is a new month and I am confident that this month will be filled with fulfilled expectations, favor and peace in Jesus Name, Amen.  I boldly decree that there shall be no more mourning and sorrow in your lives and you will walk with insight, foresight, divine illumination and clarity without any fear or regrets.  

In September, it's time to dig in and devote sufficient time to VISION. Everyone should be ready to hear, define, articulate and clarify your life VISION. VISION is critical to life and contains within it the power to distinguish people. Read these powerful verses of scripture from Habakkuk 2:1-3

"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord  answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

Vision by itself is not enough. For it must be written down. Yet, writing your vision down isn't enough, it must meet these critical 5 signs of a successful vision beautifully articulated by John Maxwell from the scriptural reference above.

1.     Every successful vision must be Clear enough to demand an immediate reaction or response.
2.     ​Every successful Vision will demand  Commitment from others.
3.     Every successful ​Vision must be nurtured by ​Consistent prayer.
4.     Every successful Vision will be fueled by a ​Constructive passion –the drive to make it happen.​
5.     Every successful Vision will require a ​Calm persistence – a rooted assurance that the vision will speak at the very end.​
 
​Remember that if your visions and ​dreams do not​ ‘scare’ you, they are not BIG enough. Your VISION (BIG) must drive you towards God consistently.​ Welcome to September, the month of Vision(s). May God bless you with a fruitful month of VISIONS and I pray continuous rest for all you who labor hard.
 
God's Grace be with your spirits,
Pastor Flo
