THE REAL FUTURE
To actualize your dream in life, you must have a clear vision of your real future. “When you are not sure of what you want, you might end up achieving nothing in life”. Let me start with a significant example: Pastor E. A Adeboye has specific goals and a clear vision for life. He knows what he saw as the future of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, which is gradually coming to reality.
No matter how wise we can be, God has the real picture of our desired future. Human beings might have an adulterated version of the real future. This means we need God to fulfill destiny. My question is: Are you in right standing with God? I'm not trying to preach, but you can’t sustain or live without your source.
“Until you have a clear vision for your future, you might be wandering about the whole world aimlessly without achieving something tangible in life”. Remember that every day that goes by brings us closer to the grave. You might not want to listen to this, but that’s the whole truth. Another important fact is to understand God’s time;
HOW TO UNDERSTAND GOD’S TIMING
1. You need to follow instructions and directions. When you rush or go before your time, the rest of the story might be too dangerous.
2. Preparation is the key to timing. "God will never give you what you are not prepared for”.
God prepared Joseph, David, Esther, and Jesus in the Bible for their manifestation. If you waste the time for preparation, it might delay the actualization of your desire.
Learn to tarry in the school of preparation (waiting period). As humans, we only know of the past, we are positively sure of the present and we don’t even have an idea or assurance of the future. We need to have foresight for that future to be sure.
HOW WE SEE BEYOND THE PRESENT
1. Fix your mind on the great future.
2. Lean on God for support and never believe you are capable.
3. Know that God can never be wrong, we can be wrong or confused about life.
4. Be sensitive enough to hear from God. The world is tired of hearing stories of the future that are not manifested.
STEPS TO THE MANIFESTATION OF THE REAL FUTURE
1. Believe in the real future
2. Packing and branding - The desired future is the real future, the career or the vision must meet up with the personality.
3. Separate yourself from anything that can stop the manifestation. Sam Adeyemi said “Anything that cuts you short of your thinking is cutting you short of your destiny”.
4. Endeavour to be the best in all you do, or wherever you find yourself.
5. Follow processes and stages. Don’t jump the process. “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. And if you can’t crawl, just make sure you are moving”.
6. To fully achieve your desired future, you need to learn to maintain and sustain the picture of the real future.
7. Don’t stop growing. Don’t stop where you are but keep moving forward. Yesterday’s success or achievement cannot carry you for life. Read more books, and don’t stop thinking (ideas can never finish).
8. Add SPICES to the real future. Spices is an acronym for:
S- Study
P- Plan more
I- Interact (with the right and positive people)
C- Consult (professionals & wise people)
E- Eradicate wrong attitude (your career, qualification, or intelligence might take you to the top, but your attitude will sustain you there)
S- Seek God's face continually. Not once or twice, but always.
9. Continuously evaluate your plans and vision after execution. Get a progress report, it helps you to improve in the near future.
10. Engage in internal and external branding of yourself and your personality. “You are a product of what you watch, read, and hear daily”. Listen, watch, and read things or materials that would positively increase your value and personal skills.
Go ahead and achieve that future you have always desired.
