Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18 NKJV

Where Is Here

2.  Dishonest

“Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord, and a false scale is not good.” Proverbs 20:23

3.  Disorganized

4.  Disconnected

“Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.” 1 Timothy 6:17

How To Get There

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Consider your ways!  You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Consider your ways!’” Haggai 1:5-7

1.  Change the way you think

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

2.  Get a vision for your future

“Write down the vision and inscribe it clearly on tablets, so that one who reads it may run.” Habakkuk 2:2

3.  Put your finances in order

“The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.” Proverbs 21:20 NLT

4.  Practice the law of sowing and reaping

“He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
