The Visionary Leader
(Where there is no vision the followers are exposed or naked and perish)
Edifying Quote:
Proverb 29:18
(AMP)
Where there is no
vision (no redemptive revelation of God), the people perish…
Who is a visionary
leader?
- Visionary can be associated with such twin words of having
vision or foresight, imaginary or illusory, prophetic or revelatory, idealistic
or utopian.
- A visionary leader’s horizon or range and limit of
knowledge, experience and interest is extensive – they see very far into the
future, abilities and inabilities of their members, their potentials,
capabilities, strengths, even weakness and are able to manage and harness these
for a profitable, productive output.
They create a better state than they met. Visionary leaders build, construct and create a better world and not destroy. Visionary leaders are prophetic builders and this is the demand of the hour in any worthy organization or church. That is what God called Christian leader to be. Are you a visionary Leader? Think again. Where are you leading the flock to? Everyone will be held accountable for whatever responsibility entrusted into his or her care.

- A visionary leader must be able to carry others along in
his quest to fulfill a task or reach the goal. A visionary leader follows up words, vision, dreams and
lofty ideas burning inside him or her with manifest outward action. Action is
their watchword.
They say action speaks louder than words or voice. It is not
enough to have these lofty dreams burning inside you but it takes a visionary leader,
born or made to produce a visible results. Dreams
and visions are great but only when dreams are realized and visions actualized
that we can say we have arrived.
- Dreams are free but the conversion to reality, to success
and to glory cost a fortune. A visionary leader must bring out the best in his
wards. Help them make their dreams come true.
Are you a visionary leader? Then build and rebuild people,
activate visions, harness potentials, cause a resurrection of dead dreams,
initiate revivals in your team or members.
- I read where Bill
Hybels while teaching on ways to lead God’s people cited John Maxwell’s teaching
on vision. Read the extract below:
…and he (John Maxwell) started his talk on one side of the
sanctuary to symbolize the beginning of the vision.
"You have no
money, you have no people, you have no faith, but you have the vision. So you
put one foot in front of the other, and you walk by the light of the vision. …"
He began to walk across the stage.
“Then, along the way,
as you share that vision, God gives you the faith, the power, the people, the resources.
…"
- Everyone's eyes were riveted on John as he made this
vision walk. But there was a planter between where he was and where he was
headed. Inside, I'm screaming, watch out for the planter! John never saw it. He
ran into it and stumbled but the vision was so powerful that he never stopped
speaking, never lost his trend of thought. I was looking around the crowd, and
no one else even seemed to notice!
- That is what a God given vision will do to any serious
leader.
“To be realistic today is to be visionary - Hubert Humphrey”
Men with burning vision and corresponding productive actions
shaped and they are still reshaping our world today. Visionary leaders were
able to transfer or communicate their powers and vision to others. We must
focus and draw from these features:
