VISION AND STRATEGY


And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour (Joshua 6:2).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME


In our previous study, we emphasized the importance of seeing and creating the future you desire through the power of vision. Today, we take it a step further by understanding the necessity of having a strategy. Many of God’s children, though able to visualize, lack the vital element of strategy.


Joshua 6 provides a remarkable example of how vision and strategy work together to produce divine results. God said to Joshua, “See, I have given into thine hand Jericho.” The battle had not yet begun, but God declared the victory. Joshua had to see it first—this is the power of vision, seeing what God has already given you and acting accordingly.


However, vision alone is not enough. God gave Joshua the vision, but Joshua needed a strategy to take the city. The divine strategy was for him and the children of Israel to march around Jericho for seven days. Joshua had to follow the strategy to bring the vision to pass. In the same way, when God gives you a vision, He also gives you the strategy to accomplish it. Be sure to employ that strategy.


Life is a construction, not an accident. If life were an accident, it would be chaotic. Many people live in chaos because they have not structured their lives with purpose and vision. They drift from one event to another, relying on luck or chance. But a successful life or any successful endeavour is built on a solid foundation through vision, strategy, principles and means.


It makes no difference what your endeavour is; function from where God has positioned you and use the tools He has given you—vision, strategy, and faith—to build something extraordinary.


PRAYER


Dear Father, I thank you for the ability to see and construct my life according to your divine vision. I walk in wisdom, guided by your Spirit, implementing the right strategies to fulfil your purpose for my life. My steps are ordered, and my success is inevitable, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Joshua 6:1-5; Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.


Joshua 6:20-22 CJB So the people shouted, with the shofars blowing. When the people heard the sound of the shofars, the people let out a great shout; and the wall fell down flat; so that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead of him; and they captured the city. 21 They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword — men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. 22 Y’hoshua said to the two men who had reconnoitered the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out with all that she has, as you swore to her.”

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
