BECOMING AN EXEMPLARY LEADER III – Saturday
September 19th 2020
Memorise: And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded. John 8:12
Read: Genesis 11:4-5 (KJV)
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose
top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
Bible in one year: Haggai 1-2, Hymn: Sing hymn 29
Message:-
We have seen that if you want your followers
to have one language, then you must ensure the vision is big and clearly
articulated form the onset.

If your vision is to ensure there is a
restroom in every building in your city, people may not take you seriously as
it may appear too simple a task. However, if your goal is audacious like that
of Barack Obama – the first black President of the United States of America,
then people would follow you with all their heart.

God-given visions usually seem impossible to
achieve; however, He is able to fulfil whatever He has promised (Romans 4:21).
A vision worth pursing is that which appears impossible to achieve. If for
nothing else, people will follow to see if it will actually be achieved.
One day in 1998, I announced we were going to
hold a crusade in Lagos where four million people would be in attendance. It
really looked impossible, but at the end, we discovered over six million people
attended. Of course, while many did come to be part of the big vision, some
came to see if we would actually have the projected attendance. People were so
many that not all could see or hear what was happening on the altar, but they
stayed until the end because it was a vision that was worth becoming a part of.
Open Heaven 19 September 2020 Saturday: Key Point
The crowd attracted international media and
ever since, we have had gatherings with larger numbers by God’s grace. I know
the power of God had always drawn people to our programmes; however, it is
proven that if your vision seems impossible, you will attract attention. The
vision of the people in Genesis 11:5 was so big that it got God’s attention.
“And
the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men
builded.”
Can your vision attract God’s attention? If
people don’t see your vision as impossible, then you may need to rethink it.
Key Point
The vision worth following is one that seems impossible to achieve.
