VISION

Beloved congregation,

Today's sermon delves deep into the essence of human connection and the power of association. "Associate with people of vision. Be around those who inspire you and motivate you to reach your dreams."

God, in His infinite wisdom, knew the importance of companionship. "It is not good for man to be alone," He declared in Genesis. Yet, this divine statement isn't merely about isolation; it's about the caliber of connections we nurture throughout our lives.

Visionaries, those individuals who see beyond the horizon, are invaluable assets to our spiritual journey. Their foresight is a gift that, when shared, can ignite passion and purpose in others. They envision a world not just as it is, but as it could be, guided by God's hand.

But why, dear brothers and sisters, is this association so vital? Because we become reflections of those we spend the most time with. The beliefs, aspirations, and energy of those around us can seep into our very being, influencing our thoughts, actions, and dreams. Surrounding ourselves with visionaries means adopting a mindset that looks to possibilities, not limitations.

Now, while it's essential to be around these visionary individuals, remember to also be that source of inspiration for others. God has blessed each of us with unique talents, experiences, and perspectives. Share them. Let your vision shine and inspire others just as they inspire you.

The path to our dreams is not a solo endeavor. We require a community, a fellowship of visionaries that uplift, challenge, and push us towards our God-given potential. As Proverbs 27:17 reminds us, "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

In closing, I urge you: Seek out those luminous souls who dream big and act with purpose. Let their light shine upon your path, and in turn, be the beacon for others. Together, under God's guiding vision, we will not only dream but also create a brighter, more purposeful tomorrow.

Amen.
