The vision in simple language is about what to achieve, and the plan ( strategy)  is about how to achieve. A vision without a plan is just a dream. This means that it cannot be validated or quantified.<\/p>\n<p>Visions occur frequently in the Bible as supernatural revelation.  God told Habakkuk to write a vision and make it plain on tablets. This must have been very elaborate because it would elicit action ( run) to those who were going to read it. The vision would have the capacity to &#8221; speak&#8221; and would surely come to pass.<\/p>\n<p>God has been gracious to us and has revealed what he wants us to accomplish in this life. God&#8217;s blueprint gives us a vision of finished product. God has provided a plan of what we need to do in every season of our lives ( Jer 29:11 ). We must come up with a strategic plan of how we will achieve it.*Where there is a vision there is provision. No divinely orchestrated vision will ever stall. It will not tarry longer than the prescribed time.*<\/p>\n<p>Further readings:<br \/>\nGen 37: 5, 6,9,<br \/>\nPro 29:18<br \/>\nActs 2:17<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude4f Blessed Day \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hab 2:2 Then the LORD answered me and said: &#8220;Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
