Many rely too much on experience. However God is a creative God: the approach you used yesterday to get results might not work today. So there is need to always ask God .

Vision is the ability to anticipate possible future events and developments.

The main reason why we must follow God's vision is because he has a divine purpose why he created us as painted in Prov. 14:12/ 16:25. It is very ideal to contact the manufacturer of your television set if/when it develop fault or if there is any defect. God has a template for you, stop running another man's race.

God's visions are revealed by the Holy Ghost.
- The Holy Spirit is the custodian of God's plan on earth
a. He is also a speaking spirit;
b. He is a showing spirit.

Vision plus divine direction will produce exploits. Vision is your glorious future but divine direction shows you how to get there.

A man of God said: "many rely so much on experience but God is a creative God, the approach you used yesterday to get result might not work today. So there is need to ask God always"

Characteristics of God given vision

The following as some of the characteristics of vision.

- It sometimes sounds insensible (marriage in Canaan. John 2:1-11)
- It sometimes looks too simple to be true (Moses and the water from the rock. Numbers 20:7-11)
- It sometimes seems dirty (Naaman's healing of leprosy and prophet Elisha. 2Kings 5:1-19)
- It brings less stress (Judges 7)
- It is always very clear (the dreams of Joseph)
- It will always fulfill itself when followed and brings a lot of joy(all you need to do is sit and connect the dots).

How to Contact vision?
- Through the word of God. Habakkuk 2:1. "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved".

- Through God's prophets. 2 Sam 7:10-17 (Prophet Nathan to David about the building of God's house). 2 Kings 5:1-19(the healing of Naaman)

- Through prayer and fasting.
