'Don't underestimate the power of your
vision to change the world.
Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems'.
By Leroy Hood
Jesus Christ, the greatest leader of all leaders who have ever lived and will ever live, was a leader of vision.
And His vision became the greatest mission on earth to every child of God.
And what was that vision?
MAKING DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS.
This was what Christ had in mind for humanity and that is why He came to die to save sinners.
This vision of raising disciples in every corner of the world became the mission of His followers (Disciples).
Now take note of this;
Jesus Christ came to raise Disciples not Christians.
So if you are a Christian, then you are a disciple and therefore you must raise a disciple.
This is called 'Soul Winning'.
(i.e. The act of raising disciples of all the nations).
Therefore, in order for this to be done, we the disciples present after the departure of our Lord Jesus Christ, have been assigned with the mission of going to all the nations and make these disciples.
Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.
And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age".
So our mission on earth after Christ came was to go and make disciples.
My question is, as a disciple, are you making disciples?
This is our calling as Christians, Churches, Pastors and Steemchurch.
It is out of this mission that our noble leader @sirknight has founded this precious online church called the #steemchurch, which has being the first church on the blockchain.
Glory be to God!!!!!!!
Our leader @sirknight, has a vision.
And his vision is Freedom for humanity.
Out of this vision from our leader has been born the @farms project, which aims at feeding the world through the blockchain, @steemcourt, which aims at settling contractual disputes and the newly introduced Beatitudes.
This is a leader with a vision, hoping to make disciples through the steemit blockchain, which will become the mission of his followers.
God bless @sirknight.
MEANING OF VISION
'the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom'.
(Oxford Dictionaries)
Not every leader has the ability to plan into the future but our knight, with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit has that ability to give freedom to the world through the word of God.
This is to affirm the words of our Lord Jesus Christ that;
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free".
Lk 4:18 (NIV)
If our great leader @sirknight has this vision of freedom to humanity, it is because that was the vision of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Freedom comes with a price but @sirknight is willing to pay that price so to set other people free from sin, hunger, poverty, diseases etc. because he acknowledges the fact that Jesus Christ has paid a much heavier price for him.
May @sirknight live long.
MEANING OF MISSION
'the vocation or calling of a religious organization, especially a Christian one, to go out into the world and spread its faith'.
(Oxford Dictionaries)
If we are honest followers of this noble leader of ours, then he is calling us to propagate the crusade for freedom wherever we find ourselves.
He is calling on us to feed the world, help the poor and needy in our societies with the little little SBD that he freely gives to us his followers.
This is our mission as steemchurch parishioners.
If as followers of this great leader, we will be honest, sincere and faithful enough to take this mission of @sirknight at heart and do all that we can to accomplish this mission, his vision of freedom for mankind would become a reality.
'Visions become a reality or are established when it's missions are accomplished.
The missions of a vision are the efforts, time and resources invested, day and night to accomplish it.
Mission requires work and that is what @sirknight is expecting from his followers.
Unlimited hard work that will make the vision a reality.
And this is the reason why @sirknight has included us into his vision because he trusts that you and I can work hard enough to accomplish the tasks ahead.
Beloved I just want you to understand that we all have roles to play in the vision of this great leader whom God has given to us, and it is that very roles which becomes our mission in accomplishing the vision.
So you will agree with me that his vision is indeed our mission.
If we therefore believes that there is a mission to be accomplished for @sirknight and for God, then I urge you to gird your loins, rise with full vim and vigour with all determination and persistence and let us work to make his vision a reality for the whole world to see what a great leader God has given us, in the person of @SIRKNIGHT.
I would like to use this opportunity to commend our honourable leaders of the various parishes who are working tirelessly to move steemchurch forward through their respective parishes especially the leaders of #sc-g for adhering to the call of our great leader @sirknight as they introduced the STEEMCHURCH EDUCATION SUPPORT PROJECT (SESP), which also aims at supporting education for needy students in rural areas in Ghana.
I believe sincerely that @sirknight would be proud of you guys especially @odsam2 and the one and only @bigsam for the great work that you are doing for the Ghana parish.
God richly bless you guys for leading us on this mission of helping the poor and needy.
I know that your time and resources that you are putting into the parish business would never go waste but be rewarded from the most high God.
The vision of our leader @sirknight must be our mission.
I therefore urge you my audience to join this crusade for freedom using the good news of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
God bless you.
@henryyeboah from @sc-g
You are very true dear brother, steemchurch has a unique vision and that vision is to provide freedom for the world. Many thanks to our leader @sirknight for such a wonderful vision from the Lord.

I really like this part when you said "I therefore urge you my audience to join this crusade for freedom using the good news of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ" thanks for sharing.
The greatest work we can do for God is to win souls for His kingdom. Preaching the Gospel, winning souls and making disciples in all nations is our divine assignment. How sad wil it be when the master return to see that we couldn't accomplish this assignment. God bless @sirknight for availing himself to be used as a vessel to spread the Gospel online.
