VISION FOR IMPACT (2)

“WRITE the VISION and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it” – Habakkuk 2:2b

Dynamic Faith is birthed and released when we encounter and embrace Divine VISION for IMPACT: “Then the Lord answered me and said: “WRITE the VISION and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it” (Hab.2:2). Vision is a vital secret, which once contacted will set the recipient up for a life of perpetual Impact. Vision is to Impact what air is to the human being – an indispensable lifeline: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Pro.29:18, KJV). The word “perish” here does not mean to die, but to be stripped of dignity and honour – to lose worth or value.

Habakkuk, like a sentinel on a watchtower, sought God’s response and revelation to his very deep concerns for his nation, much of which he had expressed as complaints in the preceding chapter. The prophet actively engaged with the Lord, seeking His guidance and understanding of the contemporary situation. In response to his watchful wait, God instructed Habakkuk to write down the Vision and make it plain on tablets – to embrace it, so that it could be clearly communicated and understood. This emphasizes why clarity and communication are crucial in conveying the Truth of God’s Word.

To live without Vision is to wander around and die in frustration. Vision is the revelation of Purpose. And, no matter the looks, social background, material possessions, academic, or professional qualifications, whoever does not know his or her purpose for living has no place to occupy on this earth. A life of Impact begins with a Sense of Mission – a Discovery of Purpose. For Habakkuk, the Impact of the Vision was not just for himself but for all who “run” with it, spreading God’s message and truth. This testifies to the transformative power of a vivid divine vision and its ability to mobilize people toward a common purpose.

Every living Vision awaits an appointed time, when God’s Plan will find fulfilment. This calls for patience and faith, recognizing that God’s Timing is often not our own. He assured Habakkuk that the righteous will LIVE by FAITH, even in the face of the enemy’s arrogance. This underlines the importance of trusting in God’s Faithfulness, even when the situation seems hopeless. Every Believer in Christ has a God-ordained Purpose, an assignment or a task that must be fulfilled earth. The revelation or unveiling of this purpose is what is called Vision. The mystery is that God’s Purpose for our lives pre-existed our conception!

People of purpose and precision who know why they are here and where they are going, become distinguished in life. We are children of Destiny, redeemed to be glorified (Rom.8: 29-30). God chose us and prepared divine assignments and a colourful future for us. Every believer is separated for a Purpose, the discovery and pursuit of which enables us to make Divine Impact!
