Good morning dear friends
This article is being done for

Nigeria
I thank you for this invitation
Pastors Primate Precious and Prophetess Jumoke Ayegbusi
I am truly honoured to write on this topic of
Knowing your Ministry and Fulfilling it.
This Teaching will be done for about 4 weeks. This is part II of the teaching.
The next step after hearing from God what your ministry and fulfilling it - is you have got to have a vision.
Habbakuk 2
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
The vision should also involve making plans, both short-term and long-term and must be revised and honed out during times of fasting and prayer.
Now after God has spoken, what should one do?
Run with it!
Live it!
Do not hesitate!
Wait for confirmation from God but as soon as God speaks clearly...move into it.
Whenever God gives vision it will challenge you. It will never be something easy or you would accomplish that in your own strength.
Let us not just ask God for just the amount to just pay our bills may we ask God for abundance for that is the place where God exists and in that realm we glorify God. God is not glorified in us settling in the place of poverty, lack, less than or mediocre.
Now to accomplish anything in the Kingdom requires sacrifice. It will mean investing in that vision daily.
Simplified this means....if you're going to open a restaurant, then one cannot be satisfied doing a restaurant like everyone else. When God is in it, it will mirror excellence. So one has to upgrade on your cooking and presentation skills. I will testify here:
I remember doing catering in Jamaica over 30 years ago. I garnered big contracts with Government and large reputable companies. How? I did some simple things. Not only was the food excellent (a gift from God) but I would ask individuals what are the colours of your company logo and decorate the food service to tables with colours matching these logos. I did this by using simple things around my house a green or blue sheet draped creatively, or food served in colour schemed bowls.
The same principles went into building the church in Jamaica. Though it was housed in a tent, we decorated the church with such magnificence both naturally and spiritually. Powerful Ministers would come from all over to minister there. We really thank God.
There are so many resources online where you can learn and God himself will teach you excellence.
Begin to think excellence, begin to think greatness, but remember it is all for God's glory.
It is a wonderful feeling when someone asks, where did you learn all this? How are you able to do all this?
And your response is simply God taught me, lemme me talk to you about this God, the one true and living God.
When the vision comes from God and it begins to manifest in the natural, it will have excellence stamped all over it and will shine for God's glory.
Never limit yourself by thinking, I don't have enough money.
God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, all the silver and gold belongs to him.
When God speaks, he makes the way!
He will send the resources and the destiny helpers in Jesus name.
I pray God will give you clarity as he gives you the vision, I pray he will also give you strategy, the resources, open doors for you and supernaturally connect you to the right people.
You will fulfill your ministry calling and purpose in Jesus name.
Amen
