“Where there is no vision, the people perish”
Proverb 29:18, KJV
A man needs a clear vision of three things:
1. Who is he in God
2. What his overall purpose as a male is
3. What his purposes as an individual man is.
In this way, he can know where he is going in life and can lead those under his care and responsibility.
Before God gave man a helper, He gave him a vision for what he should be doing. A woman shares in this vision, encourages the man along the way, and helps him to accomplish it.
That is also the order we need to follow today.
If a man has no vision, or only his wife who has a vision, the man and his whole family will have a difficult time. Because God has designed the male to carry others with him in his vision.
Our society is in trouble because most men don’t know where they are going, while the women and children who are following have no direction.
Many men don’t have a vision for their lives because they are not committed to God and to seeking His will in this area. If a man does not have a relationship with God, he cannot fully function in his purpose.
It’s dangerous for a woman to marry a man who doesn’t know God, because she won’t know where he’s taking her.
Even if he does know God, he needs to learn to live in God’s presence, because some men who know him don’t talk to Him enough.
No man has the right to lead a woman if he doesn’t have the ability to truly hear God.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me
John 10:27
A man can not ask a woman to follow him and help him if he isn’t really doing anything. The woman is looking for somebody who is doing something to which she can contribute. All the potential, all the energy, all the excitement, and all the creativity within her has to be applied to something.
Anyway, what vision did God give to Adam?
He said, “Here is the garden [Eden]: subdue it, work it, and cultivate it. Make it better than it is. Develop it and produce more of it.”
In other words:
“Take this planet and make it richer than it is. There is seed in this ground that hasn’t yet born fruit. Make it a harvest. There gold in the mountains. Dig it out. There are diamonds in the rough. Mine them.”

Dangerous to marry a woman who doesnt know God? The only women whoare a danger to me are women who don't treat me the right way.
a man success have a woman behind, thats why you must choose the correct women 4 you you dont mary a woman that you are not inl0ve w/that lady cause a big mistake.
When you decide that your salvation is about God, and youcombine that with your calling and vision, He adds his grace to it, suddenly you are on course with his Purpose and destiny.
Each of us have to understand that we are saved and called for purposes much bigger than ourselves. Living as one who is saved but not called is a waste of what God intends for you.
God Bless.
