Leadership Promises - Double Vision

"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. . . . But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you." Deuteronomy 28:1,15
Leadership Promises - Double Vision
Leadership Promises - Double Vision.
The vision Moses cast to the new generation of Israelites looked quite different from anything most leaders have communicated since then: He cast vision for what life would look like if the people obeyed God fully. But Moses also cast vision for how life would turn out if they failed to obey. Not many leaders do this! From then on, the people could see clearly the blessing of obedience and the curses of disobedience.

That's the power of vision, from two angles. Such a vision helps people sort out what they will do, because they can think with the end in mind.

Good day!
