Where there is no vision, the people perish; he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Col 4:17
Until you begin to run with your vision, nobody will run after you. "The greatness or smallness of any man is hidden in the size of his vision". "Vision makes a man to run" -Tom Samson...vision-oxford advance learners's dictionary describes it as a dream or similar trance-like state. Vision is not real, it is an imaginary thing but the essence of vsion is that the visioner wants to bring his vision into reality. The success of any man hinges on his vision. It goes to say that a man without vision, his success is far fetched. Most organised corporations have their vision and mission statement displayed at their reception halls. It is there for everybody to read and know what the company or corporation believes and where it is going. So what is your vision, are you focused to achieve that vision or are you distracted chasing someone else's vision.

When God created Adam and place him in the garden of Eden, he later discovered that Adam needed a help meet that will make his stay in the garden lively, Both of them were also to help one another achieve the purpose of their creation. God also gave man the responsibility o bearing and rearing children. Man therefore is created to help his fellow men so as to make life more productive, enjoyable and long lasting. Abraham demonstrated this virtue when he saw the angels of God that were going for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He did not know them neither their mission but he invited them to his house, served them food and drink, They later blessed him with the promise of a child. They equally revealed their mission to him.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sake, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

The same way God worked with the apostles of old is the same way He is working with us today but you have to connect with the Lord in trustfulness and open mind and heart for Him to work with you. Make yourself available to God and God will speak to you in a way, you will not believe it is happening; most times through your dreams. Through dreams, God will communicate so many things to you such as music, messages etc. God is Spirit and He communicates with our spirit not our flesh. So if you want the Lord to start communicating things to you like He did with the apostles of old, submit totally to Him, read your bible and pray all the time and you will see the greatness of the Lord manifest in your life.

The work of the ministry is a great work which no man alone can do. It calls for brethren to work in different areas in order to fulfill the ministry. That is why we need to go for massive evangelism so that many people can come into the kingdom of God and join the work force, the work will be easier. One man cannot evangelize the world or he would weary himself and may even die untimely. Everybody has a stake in the body of Christ, therefore everybody should contribute his/her own little quota to uplift the body of Christ

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate and they said one to another, why sit we here until we die? if we say, we will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die

And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature
Our vision hinges on reaching out to people. That's where Mark 15:15 comes in. However, note, no man can give what he has not. If you don't have righteousness, you cannot give people righteousness. If you don't peace, joy, etc, you cannot give people that. So people can only benefit from what you have through Jesus Christ, our Lord and personal savior. That is why it is necessary for you to be steadfast in your daily devotion with the Lord Jesus in other to reach out and help others.

And when Moses father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, what is this thing that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even? Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee, thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able me, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. Question I asked myself is-Why didn't God tell Moses to select people to help him in his daily services in the house of the Lord. Why didn't He minister that to Aaron the priest.
Answers--First we don't know, no one knows the mind of God or why He chooses to do things the way He does it sometimes. But one can only assume that first, He may have ministered that to Moses, Aaron etc but they were too busy to pay attention to what the Lord was saying about the how Moses was running the daily work of the Lord. Secondly, maybe The Lord didn't say anything and wanted Him to ask Him, "how he wants him (Moses) to handle the huge task of leading the children of Israel at the time. However, since Moses didn't do that and no one among the children of Israel brought that to Moses attention apparently because they were very busy thinking about their past instead of the good future where the Lord was taking them. God has to send Moses father in law to do the work. Thank God Moses obeyed. Sometimes, God sends an outsider to warn us, to counsel etc but we have to have a listening ear and not shut them off because they are not insiders. An outsider is coming from a neutral point of view and see things far more clearly than an insider. God is good and gracious in His doings.
