Leader - Vision: How to See and Sculpt the Future



  • The foundation of a vision is REALITY. 

  • Vision has to be launched from solid ground. 

"First responsibility of a leaders is to define reality."
- Max Dupree

  • Develop a reality statement BEFORE a vision statement.  

  • A lack of realism today costs CREDIBILITY  tomorrow. 
"Less hip more honesty"

  • Reality in the vision explains:

    • The situation is worst than you think
    • The Process is going to take longer
    •  The Price is going to be higher that you expect. 

  • The energy of vision is the RESPONSE. 

  • The response will be determined by two things:

    • The MESSAGE.
    • The MESSENGER.
  • Vision for the future demands that you let go of  the success of yesterday. 
    • You can't get to where you are going holding on to where you are. 

  • A leader has to believe the vision the are trying to cast. 

"Leaders have to cast vision on what is invisible and plain it into existence... 

Leaders have develop flexibility as it relates to allow the people to get comfortable with the timing and the how of the vision. But leaders that have the responsibility for vision, be unrelenting on the direction.."

- Chris Goede 

  •  Our ability to shape the future is based on the thought time, the creativity time, the imagination time we have on envisioning that future. 

"Leaders know how to see something that finally becomes tangible and make it visible. So we don't only cast vision on the invisible. We make real the visible when the invisible becomes tangible. And every leader needs to understand the art is not just in saying something you hope and believe and aspire to. It's in making mile marker points of accomplishment along the way." 
- Chris Goede

  • If you're waiting on the facts or reality to shape the future, you will not be able to get out of what is possible into the realm of what is not possible. 

  • To really cast a vision, you're going to have to get into the realm of the impossible so that you can begin envisioning it, so that then you make the imagination become from invisible to visible.

Why Deliverance is Rarely Seen in Today’s Churches by Bishop Martin Wilson

Image
Deliverance ministry, once a staple in many churches, has become a rare sight in today’s congregations. While it might seem absent in many services, the reality is that deliverance often happens quietly or behind the scenes. However, with the release of the new Netflix movie The Deliverance, the topic of spiritual warfare and demonic oppression has gained renewed attention. The film, which portrays a powerful story of deliverance from demonic forces, reminds us that the supernatural battle is very real—and that the church must not shy away from addressing it. But why don’t we see deliverance as openly in churches anymore? To fully restore deliverance ministry, churches must embrace four critical values—a “4x4” approach that creates an environment for the power of God to work. 1. The Importance of Passionate Prayer A church that lacks fervent prayer lacks the spiritual power to confront demonic forces. Prayer prepares the atmosphere for God’s presence to manifest, and in that presence, ...

“Credit Card Utilization”by Bishop Wilson

Image
Credit card utilization is an important part of managing your credit card. It sounds complicated, but it’s actually pretty simple. Let’s take a closer look at what it means and how it affects your credit score. What Is Credit Card Utilization? Credit card utilization is how much of your credit limit you’re using. Think of your credit limit as the maximum amount you can borrow on your card. The percentage of how much you’ve spent compared to your limit is called your credit utilization. Here’s how to calculate it: If your credit card has a limit of $2,000 and you’ve spent $400, your utilization is 20% ($400 divided by $2,000). If your limit is $1,000 and you’ve spent $300, your utilization is 30%. If your limit is $500 and you’ve spent $100, your utilization is 20%. Why Is Credit Card Utilization Important? Keeping your credit card utilization low is important because it shows that you’re not relying too much on your credit card. When lenders, like banks, see that you don’t use too much...

The Benefits of Buying Regularly and Holding Cryptocurrency

Image
Cryptocurrency is becoming more popular as a way to invest, but it can be confusing and unpredictable because prices go up and down a lot. One smart strategy that works well for many investors is to buy regularly and hold onto their cryptocurrency for a long time. This is often called the "HODL" strategy. In this article, we’ll explain why buying regularly and holding onto your crypto can be a good idea. 1. Dealing with Price Swings Through Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Cryptocurrency prices can change very quickly, which makes it hard to know the best time to buy. Instead of trying to guess the right moment to invest, you can use a method called Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) . How DCA Works: With DCA, you invest the same amount of money at regular times, like once a week or once a month, no matter what the price is. This way, you buy when prices are both high and low, and it balances out over time. Benefits of DCA: Less Stress : You don’t have to worry about guessing when prices...
