HABAKUKK 2:2 ISAIAH 30:30

Definition:
The power of anticipating that which or may come to be.
The act or power of sensing with the eye or sight.
A picture or idea that you have in your mind.
Remember a clear vision will help you pursue your dreams and
achieve goals.
You feel much more blessed when you set and achieve visions and
A vision that is clear will open your mind to the endless possibilities
of the future.
A clear vision will help you to overcome obstacles that may come your
way and help you to hold on when times are tough.
If you don’t have a vision you begin to lack drive and your life becomes
just an order of events.
When a leader has a vision he or she will have the ability to see today
as it is and calculate a future that grows and improves/changes lives.
A vision can be spread to others who are like minded with a proper
communication.
A vision is the glue that holds together individuals of a group with the
same goal.
In the corporate world, people promote the setting of goals.
They have their objectives which drives them toward achieving these
In the Christian cycle, things are different. Our Christian goals are
described as having a vision. In other words it is setting one’s mind
and heart on a desired future outcome.
The only and greatest vision that counts in a Christian life is to establish
the Kingdom of God in the hearts of all the people and His will to be
done. Matthew 6:10,Matthew 10:5-7, 2 Peter 3:9, Proverbs 29:18.
People use this verse to promote their goals setting, but that is not so,
it should be mainly to promote God given vision through revelation.
Without a revelation people perish. This means without the revelation
of God to the Old Testament prophets, people would have perished in
sins. Even today we need this revelation of which without people will
still perish. We all need Godly vision, insight and revelation, to help us carry out our assignment here as we await for His second coming. ✽
Pastor Fidelis Kutah
IKMA KenyaNC, USA
I would like to share my experience with
God that me, my wife and family had with the
Lord during the year of 2019.
2019 was a complicated year for me and
family. I was the only one working and
providing for my family, therefore my salary
wasn’t sufficient to cover all expenses at home.
In the beginning of every month me and my
wife had to sit down and see how we would
pay the bills, supermarket and needs. At most
of the time we cried because there were bills
that couldn’t be paid at the beginning and
others that were on the end of month. I receive
some benefits and they were used to buy food
for the family.
We went to the supermarket with a very small
amount and buy what was needed and that
needed to last until the end of the month.
Our rent was past due and the circumstances
were tightening more and more.
God during this time took us out of the church.
We were functional at church, involved into
lot’s of ministries, taking care of people and
was heavy for us, giving support to our leaders
and others concerns and we weren’t happy. We
didn’t take a time, we told that we wouldn’t
be a part of the church no more.
The Holy Spirit of God comforted me and
my wife, having special moments with God,
praying, being placed into the secret place
with the Lord, talking with him. My wife
that was not working had more time then
me, therefore I had very special time with the
Lord driving my car to work.
God is good at all time and I would like to
thank Dr. Nancy and Pastor Rodney Ballenger
Testimony Brazil
and his wife, that gave us support, praying with us and pushing us up and up. We talked and
they understood what we were going through and lined up with the Holy Spirit. I also thank
the Lord for some Pastor friends of mine, friends from church that contacted us and pushed
us up also.
The year of 2019 was passing, months and our situation was getting delicate. I felt like the
Hebrew people that went through the desert, no response from the Lord, not evening a voice,
only his silent and we continue praying for the Lord. There were sometimes that my wife would
say what we would be done with unpaid bills and I said many times that this is the problem
of the Lord and that he would provide us. Although I said that the Lord would provide, then
I cried in a corner with God. Sometimes I would get up at dawn and talk to God about our
situation and quite uncomfortable with everything we were going through.
During the time we were praying to God, my wife had never sent a curriculum to any company,
she would spend the day praying to the Lord, studying the Bible, listening to preaching, and
talking to God.
I remember that during the period of need came things that we needed, such as my son Pedro,
who had almost no clothes and was coming on cold days and he had old pants that were tight
in him. My son Pedro had his birthday in June and we could buy or do anything for him, not
even able to give him a gift. God was good to us and to him, because my wife is very creative
and made a decoration with remnants of paper and eva for his party. Our parents helped us a
lot, because one brought hot dogs, another soda and the gifts they gave him and I was looking
and at the same time I was happy, but inside I was sad, since I couldn’t give anything to my
son on his birthday.
I remember my brother asking what he could give to Peter as a birthday gift. I said he wanted
some toy tools, because he loves to play and fix things at home. God once again was wonderful
because he bought 3 tool kits for him and was very happy, started to thank my brother, then
playing and I was very happy for this moment and I remembered that in the word of God, Jesus
tells us that we need to be like children.
During the end month of June and beginning of July, my wife received a call to participate in
a selection process for a company without sending the resume. We saw that it was God there
providing this vacancy in her life. We prayed for the interview, for the vacancy, and she went,
but the answer was negative. The month of July was coming, and I was going on vacation,
but we could do nothing but stay at home, because we had to pay off some late bills and with
children at home and with nothing to offer is very complicated.
The closer the vacation was approaching, the tighter our situation became. My wife and I
decided to hand over the apartment we are living and going to live at my parents’ house or
my wife’s parents. My wife Roberta prayed and told the Lord that she would not accept this
situation. During this time my wife had received a call from a company calling her for an

interview and again we saw God’s care about our life, since Roberta
did not send her resume. She went to the interview, but didn’t have
experience refer to the vacancy. She knew about the work to be done
but had never acted.
I point out of this time, circumstances going on, we prayed to the Lord,
we had faith in the Father in heaven and that He would take care
of everything for us. Exactly one week before my vacation, Monday
morning talking to Roberta, I said that I was going to call the owner
of the apartment and say we were leaving, because we could not afford
rent and expenses. I went to work and this day I arrived very early, so
I got the phone and went to call, but saw that it was 8 am, very early. I
looked at the clock again and it was 8:15 am, again, very early. About
8:30 am I went to call, but I was surprised by Roberta who called me
and I thought something happened at home. She calls me crying with
joy and thanking the Lord, because she had been chosen for the job
interviewed. An immense joy in our hearts, we thank God, for He did
not forsake us.
Roberta is working today, being a miracle of God n in her life and ours
as a family.
Today we are not in a big choke, but we can honor late bills, we are in
our house, with our children, we can shop at the market, buy some of
our needs and even have a leisure, something we did not have about 6
to 7 months behind. We can today by the honor and glory of the Lord
Jesus, go out for a leisure with our children, give, go out as a couple,
go to the movies, all because of God, who came with his favor over
our lives.
I share this testimony with much love and faith that the Lord God
is good at all times. Jesus in the word of God says that in the world
we will have afflictions, but have good cheer, because He has won
and we who are sons and daughters of God will overcome, but we
must keep our faith as Apostle Paul spoke and persevere in Christ.
I say to all that it wasn’t easy for me or my wife, but we went through
a desert with God and He did something we needed, worked in us,
molding us to Him and living what is written at Genesis 1: 26, the
breath of His Spirit is in us, and we are the image and likeness of
the Father in heaven. We had a moment that hurt too much, but the
Holy Spirit comforted us, loved us, hugged us, and we knew that
we were being cared for by Him all the time during our wilderness.
Jesus is everything in our lives. Without Jesus we are nothing.
My wife and I encourage those who are going through any hardships
of life, stay focused on Jesus Christ, persevere in Him, have faith, for
He is the truth, the way and the life.
Trust in Him and the promises written in the Bible, for God will
favor you at some point. We may think that everything is out of control, but He is in control of everything and our lives. ✽
