Don't let anyone talk you out of your God's given vision even though it may not look like it now, keep your eyes on Jesus, run with your vision and in the end it will speak.
No one celebrate quitters; you can't quit now..Keep moving all that the Lord has shown to you will surely come to pass. Words are powerful, don't give in to negative comments about your vision. I remembered several years back at the initial stage of the ministry, less than a year after I heard a comment made by one of the very people whom the Lord used to help me discover purpose early in life by grooming us to know and love the Lord. He said "Toyin is going into independent ministry at this age(I was an Senior Secondary School student, SS 1 when the Lord called me into the ministry) how will she get the needed fund for the work, anyway before before she reached age...he mentioned a certain age someone will impregnate her as she goes along looking for funds for the ministry"
To say I was sad was an understatement coming from a man whom God had used as one of the vessels to raise me but I was not discouraged. I went to God and prayed off the negative "prophecy" and the Lord told me that he will teach me the secret of my Fathers on how to last and sustain the ministry. The Lord taught me absolute faith and Obedience. He gave me a unique currency to finance every project and assignment he asked me to do.. The FAITH CURRENCY is inexhaustible, as long as you keep obeying and have absolute faith in the Lord all will be well.
It is this FAITH CURRENCY that I have been spending for 22 years in ministry and still counting; I never picked up a paid employment after graduating from the University. I worked as self employed(business) for years before I left the shores of Nigeria over 7 years ago and thereafter as a FULL TIME DRAMA MISSIONARY with my husband in Europe for close to 5 years now. It is with this FAITH CURRENCY that we handled every film production(over 30 titles now and still counting), organized conferences, drama colleges, programs, lived one day at a time and God's name is been glorified and will continue to be glorified.
The evil prophecy never came to pass because God is involved, I am sent by him. The vision has been speaking for it self by the grace of God and it will continue to speak by the grace of God. What if I have given up because of that word and of course there were many more words that was spoken then by those who could not understand what God was doing. You don't need to understand what God is doing in someone else life anyway, it is wisdom to refrain your lips from talking when you don't.
Dear Man/Woman of Vision, rise above those "words" of men, obey the Lord, run with the vision, have faith in God and it shall be well with you.
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)
