"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the
dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with
open eyes to make it possible."

~ T.E. Lawrence
"I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."

~ Pablo Picasso

"The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no
vision."

~ Helen Keller

"Keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must
see the world."

~ George Bernard Shaw

This month sees our nation getting a new government, whether they have been
in office before or not, they will see this as an opportunity to start again
and to try to shape our nation for good. They all have a vision of how our
country should be run. They believe in their plans, hopes, and dreams
unreservedly. They will put themselves in the firing line for what they
believe, they will argue with anyone about the benefits of what they believe
in, they know and understand their manifesto so that when asked, they can
explain what it is saying, (in theory).

How much more effective could the church be if what I have just written was
about us, Jesus' church? Do you have a vision for your community? Do you
believe in the plans of our leader, His hopes and dreams for the people of
our community? Will you get in the firing line for what you believe? Will
you argue (nicely) with people about the benefits of what you believe? Do
you know and UNDERSTAND the manifesto of Jesus Christ.




Mt 5:17



17 "Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law
of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their
purpose.


Lk 5:32)

32 I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who
know they are sinners and need to repent."


Jn 6:38



38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not
to do my own will.


Jn 12:46



46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put
their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.


Heb 10:9



9 Then he said, "Look, I have come to do your will." He cancels the first
covenant in order to put the second into effect.

Our nation needs to be lead by people with vision; the problem, in my humble
opinion, is that their vision is just a bit limited. You see, I happen to
think that the one with the best view of the future is the one who is
already there and who is willing to lead us, by his Spirit. So, what is my
point? It's simple this we should be involved in as many areas of 'ministry'
as we can within our community, God is looking for his church to set the
standards, to speak out against injustice, to care for the marginalised and
forgotten, in other words TO BE A COUNTER CULTURE, to show a better way, to
point to the cross and say this is the way follow me............... I know
where I'm going, I can see!
