God’s plan for you as a believer is that you live in victory on earth with your eyes earnestly focused on the life of eternity with Him. The Lord revealed this much to prophet Jeremiah when He declared in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” John the Apostle reiterated the same promise when he wrote in 3 John 2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospered.” Victory connotes winning over circumstances that are in opposition to the fulfillment of your destiny, and to be victorious is to be free to live and utilize your potentials as God has ordained. From the Scriptures, we can therefore boldly conclude that there are three levels of prosperity the Lord plans for His children:
Prosperity in health, material prosperity, and prosperity in the spirit
I call this total or true prosperity. Therefore, to be a prosperous Christian, you must seek for and position yourself to be a partaker of this total prosperity. And this may not be possible unless you obey certain laws that pertain to life and godly living. These laws are seven in number.
This is the third law of a prosperous Christian – the Law of Vision. Vision is like gravity that pulls the water in a stream down the mountain. Or like a magnet that draws and binds metals to itself. Vision provides the urge to keep moving in a particular direction. Proverb 29:18 captures it better when it says that where there is no vision, the people perish.
