Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV) Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
God responded to Habakkuk when he took time to seek the Lord. Basically, God was telling Habakkuk that he is going to do something about the situation.
God speaks when we converse with Him about our situation regardless of whether it pertains to our life, our work, business, or ministry.
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Everything is a process including waiting for the deliverance of the Lord. The journey that God will bring us through when we place our faith in Him requires us to have patience, stay focused on His promises and not to look at the circumstances.
How do you know when you have heard from the Lord? It is through the process of seeking Him diligently. We are to walk by faith once we have sought His face. The anchor or the very thing that gives substance to our faith will be the book, chapter, and verse that God has given you. The other safeguards are the witness of the Holy Spirit in your heart and godly counsel. These are some of the safeguards that you can have before stepping out on the faith journey with God.
The key is to be humble, seek the face of God diligently in good and bad times thereafter to stand in faith based on what we have heard from Him. It will take time and a process before we are able to witness the physical manifestation of the promise that He has given us. It will take time for the vision or the pivoting that we have decided to take see fruition.
It doesn’t mean that there will be no push back from the closest people or members of your team whenever you receive something from the Lord. However, you need to be very sure and confident that you have heard from the Lord as a leader. You are to stand your ground, lead by faith and know where and what point B looks like. Often, the task that the Lord gives to us will always be beyond what we can do as a church and as a leader, but God will provide the resources in terms of people, the team, and finances. God’s idea will always prosper regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.
Sermon Series: Pivoting
追求祂的异象
哈巴谷书2：2-4 他对我说：“将这默示明明地写在版上，使读的人容易读[b]。 因为这默示有一定的日期，快要应验，并不虚谎。虽然迟延，还要等候，因为必然临到，不再迟延。
当哈巴谷花时间寻求主时，上帝回应了他。基本上，上帝是在告诉哈巴谷祂将要对当前的情况采取行动了。
当我们与神谈论自己的状况，不管是关于我们的生活、工作、生意还是事工，上帝都会说话。
希伯来书 11:1,6 人非有信就不能得神的喜悦，因为到神面前来的人必须信有神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。
凡事都有一个过程，包括等待主的拯救。当我们信靠上帝的 时候，祂要带我们走过的旅程需要我们有耐心，专注在祂的应许上，并拒绝看周围的环境。
你怎么知道你听到了上帝的声音?是藉着不懈的努力寻求。一旦我们寻求了祂的面，我们就要凭信心行 事。那个锚，或者那给予我们的信仰以实质的，是上帝赐给你的圣经、章节和金句。另一重保障是圣灵在你心中的见证和敬虔的忠告。这些 都是你在与上帝一同踏上信心之旅之前可以拥有的保障。
关键是要谦卑，在今后的日子里，无论得时还是不得时都要殷勤地寻求上帝的面，凭著我们从祂那里 所听见的，在信心中站立。这需要时间和一个过程，才能见证 祂所赐我们应许实实在在的彰显。假以时日，我们就会看到异象或我们所决定作出的转变终于开花结果。
这并不意味着但凡你从主那里领受了，你身边最亲近的人或团队成员就不会扯后腿。然而，你需要非常确定和自信的是，作为领袖你已经听到了 主的声音。你要站稳立场，由信心引导，知道B点 在哪里，是什么样子的。通常，主给我们的任务总是超出我们作为教会和领袖所能做的，但上帝会在人员、团队和财务方面供应资源。神的主意总会亨通，不管环境如何。
