Have you ever dreamt of making a difference in the world? The Bible is full of stories of visionary leaders who changed the course of history. But dreams alone aren’t enough (Proverbs 14:23). Just like a missionary dedicated to spreading the Gospel, true visionaries are relentless workers. They do not sit around talking up a storm. They understand that transforming dreams into reality requires tireless effort, unwavering commitment, and a willingness to get their hands dirty. So, if your heart burns with a vision, don’t just dream it – work it!
The Gospels paint a vivid picture of Jesus’ tireless work ethic. Mark 6:30-31 tells us of crowds so eager for His teachings that there wasn’t even time to eat. John 4:34 reveals a deeper motivation: “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” Jesus wasn’t simply busy; He was consumed by a burning passion to fulfill His God-given mission. This is the kind of dedication required to bring your vision to life. It’s about prioritizing your calling, embracing relentless effort, and finding fulfillment in the work itself, just as Jesus did.
One key takeaway from John 4:34 is that Jesus valued the mission as much as food. Getting things done every day was equally important as eating every day. Nothing will happen if you only visualise your glorious purpose without taking the necessary steps. Your dreams are only as valid as your work ethic. So, define your vision as clearly as possible, and then get to work. The goal is not to be busy. The goal is to be productive within the scope of the vision. The goal is to adopt a missionary mindset towards the vision that heaven has burdened you with.
