Speaker: Reverend Marlin Jones

On Monday, January 17, 2022, we celebrated the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday. Dr. King, like Abraham, had a vision and could also see clearly. As we celebrate the legacy of Dr. King, we should remember that it was God who had a vision (plan) for his life that allowed him to see clearly. Do you know the vision that God has for your life? Can you see clearly?  In order to see clearly, you must:

1. Allow God to cast the vision for your life— God initiated the vision for Abraham. Your life is more complete and moving in the correct direction when you start with God and God’s priorities. (Genesis 12: 1-2)

2. Include others in your set of priorities—A vision initiated by God always involves and blesses others. God blesses you in order to bless others which is what happens through Christ. (Genesis 12: 2-3)

3. Impact others beyond material wealth and fame—The life you live should have an eternal value by bringing others to Christ. (Genesis 12:4, Hebrews 11:12)
