Visions and goals of 2009


Proverbs 29:18 (Amplified Bible)
Where there is no vision the people perish; but he who keeps the law --blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.


What is vision?
1. It is the act or power of sensing with the eyes (physical).
2. It is the act or power of anticipating something that which will or may come to be, although not actually present, often under the influence of a divine or other agency. (Imagination)

Vision drives people to live their lives to the fullest.
Vision helps us to reveal our hidden potential.
Vision allows us to do great things which are impossible with our own strength.


3 must-do steps:

1. Seek God for the vision!
-If you can see it you can have it. (Genesis 13:14-17)
-When you see a vision from God you will begin to have the desire to wanting the vision to come to pass.
-Joel Osteen says - If God let you see the vision in your heart, it is because He knows that you have the potential to fulfil it and He will prepare the material for you to get the job done!

2. Write the vision down!
-Whatever you want to remember in your mind, pen it down.
-A vision will give you the clear focus to complete your life mission.
-Too often we tend to forget our visions and goals in lives, but when we write it down, this will help us to stay focus.

3. Don’t give up on your vision!
-Sometimes your vision does not come immediately. It takes time. Therefore, do not ever lose hope on your vision.
-Even when you have failed once or twice in your life, never give up. Also, do not think negatively, saying that it is impossible to achieve your vision.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.



Set your visions and goals according to SMART!


1. Specific goals
Your goals must be specific. When you set goals, there is a transition from making your dreams into realities.


2. Measurable goals

How are you going to measure your success? Numbers and grade are certainly involved here.

3. Action plan

-Describe the specific steps you want to make to help you to complete your goals and visions.
-You have to discipline yourselves in order to act according to your plans to see yourself successful in life.

4. Realistic goals
Set your goals that are realistic and doable. Like “giving to Openhands RM 100 per month” or “I will bring 1 friend to Cell Group every month”. That’s realistic.

5. Time frame

How long do you need to complete your goals?
Set some time limit for your goals.

Proverbs 16:9 (New Living Translation) - We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
