Vision Sunday - Mark Cerfonteyn

The Rock - Paarl

We just had our vision Sunday. On vision Sunday every year we have ‘a word’ that sets the direction that we are moving in. Last year it was FORWARD, and it truly did propel our church and so many individuals forward into all God had for them in 2023. But this year our new word is BOLD!

To be bold is to be confident, courageous, fearless, brave, and daring. Proverbs 28:1 NKJ says “…the righteous are as bold as a lion”. We are believing for bold dreams, bold prayers, and bold invitations in the year that lies ahead (read Ephesians 3:12 // Hebrews 4:16 KJV).

Q : Have you thought of some things that you are trusting and believing God for in 2024?

Q: How can you start to be bold before God as you trust him in your life?

Boldness is confidence, it’s knowing that when we pray in faith according to Gods word and live in obedience, that we will receive what we ask for. We have a faithful Father in heaven who is more than able!

Having a vision and a word for the year is about reminding us of our ‘why’. Why we do what we do. Why God has placed us where he has placed us. Why God has chosen us to reach out and impact the world around us. Vision helps us be effective in all we have been called and equipped for (read proverbs 29:18).

We need vision for every area of our life. Vision to give us confidence and direction. Don’t lose vision for your life. When you lose your ‘why’ you lose your way.

Reflect: Do you have an area in your life that needs a fresh vision to help you find your ‘why’ and your way? Consider your family / your church involvement / your social groups / your business / etc. Spend time with God and ask him to give you vision to walk in this year. Then be bold (confident and full of faith) as you step out in faith in 2024 and trust God to lead you in that vision.
