A formless beginning …. A beautiful end

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Gen 1:1-2 Then God looked over all he had made and He saw that it was very good. (Gen 1:31)

What makes the journey of life an interesting one, is the vision that seats in the very core of our being. It is so beautiful to discover the importance of running with an end in mind; it gives you a sense of direction and purpose. I am not about to state why you must have a vision. With an expectation that you already have one, it’s my delight to place again into your consciousness, why you have to keep your focus, with every step you take in the pursuit of purpose.

Every vision has a beginning and God surely does not expect that we get it all put together immediately the vision is given. It was a formless earth when God was about starting the creation, but He had an end in mind, a beautiful one; good enough to express His “Let there be”. At different stages and in each one, God brought into existence, the different component that will make up a complete end. That means there are stages, there are phases, there are chapters that must feature in creation that will form a part of that divine vision. Every stage is important; every chapter brings a definition into the journey, and every phase gives it a deeper meaning until it is complete and good.

The earth was said to be void according to the scriptures. It was empty and the Spirit of God hovered upon the surface of the deep. But at every “Let there be”, there was a creation. Now, you will understand that the earth was not actually empty; it was filled with substance that can only be brought forth with an action word of creation. God has modeled to us, a perfect being that calls those things that be not as though they were and so every new stage, chapter or phase you get to while giving expression to our vision and dreams, there is meant to be a creation that will give a deeper meaning to your pursuit. A creation of new ventures, new initiatives, new ideas, new solution to challenges, fresh impact in your environment, marriage. Etc

There are stages in life that seem so difficult to pull through due to the scope of human limitation, our human strength is obviously not strong enough to take us through it; by this human strength, we can not prevail. But of course, your spirit man is always alive to keep your hope in God; to tap into the grace that enables you to look up to Jesus the Author and the Finisher of your faith, to focus on the beautiful linings of God’s promise to take you to that expected end.

Some steps in reality, appear to be too big for your person to take because your five senses keep bringing back to your awareness, the environment you are in, the intellectual skill you don’t have yet, the financial and material capacity you think you lack. The truth that your spirit man needs is that you must take that step to actualize your God-given vision. That step is needful if you must see a beautiful ending.

I pray that your heart be quickened for understanding, what seem difficult will ease up for you; every weak knees and feeble hands be strengthened by His touch; every vision that has been put out because of one limitation or the other be revived by the power and authority in Jesus’ name. I pray your cause will not be subverted as the Lord lives. There is a beautiful ending to that formless beginning; it will find expression by His grace.
