LIVING BY DIVINE DESIGN AND INTENT. WHY WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND PURPOSE IN THE CONTEXT OF VISION. PART 8.

LIVING BY DIVINE DESIGN AND INTENT. WHY WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND PURPOSE IN THE CONTEXT OF VISION. PART 8.

PURPOSE DEFINES AND EXPLAINS THE COURSE OF AN EVENT; THE REASON WHY THINGS LOOK OR PAN OUT IN CERTAIN WAYS, AND WHY THEY SHOULD EITHER BE ACCEPTED OR REJECTED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL FOLKS, IN MY OPINION, WITHIN THE BODY OF CHRIST, DO NOT STILL UNDERSTAND OR CAN CORRECTLY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN VISION AND PURPOSE, AND THIS HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY CONFUSION, DIVISIONS, AND SETBACKS IN SEVERAL MINISTRY INITIATIVES AND LIFE RELATIONSHIPS.

WE ARE TOLD THAT TWO CANNOT WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THEY AGREE. AGREEMENT IS UNDERSCORED BY THE LEVEL AND QUALITY OF HOW WE SEE AND INTERPRET THE UNIQUENESS OF A ASSIGNED VISION THAT BRINGS OR BINDS TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TOGETHER. IT IS THE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS US TO COMPROMISE ON THE SECONDARY VALUES AND METHODS THAT ARE BEST SUITABLE FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF A VISIONARY OBJECTIVE.

VISION CANNOT BE COMPROMISED, BUT WE CAN DISAGREE TO AGREE ON THE BEST METHODS OR ROUTE TO TAKE IN ORDER TO REACH OUR ULTIMATE GOAL. OFTEN, PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CORE NATURE OF A VISION’S PHILOSOPHY SPEND UNNECESSARY TIME FIGHTING OVER THINGS THAT CAN BE AGREED UPON BASED ON THE PULLS OF CREATIVE CONCEPTS OF IDEAS AND METHODS AVAILABLE.
