i. It gives believers access to divine information which enables one to uncover demonic plots-II Kings 6:14-17.
ii. It makes you check your stand with God.
iii. It brings revelation of future occurrence-Daniel 10:14.
iv. It assures confidence of victory-Obadiah 1:1-2.
v. It allows believers to know their godly assignment.
vi. It cautions one of impending dangers-Daniel 2:29; I Sam. 3:13-14.
vii. It makes one receive divine approval and commendation – II Sam. 7:17.
viii. It brings divine guidance – Proverbs 29:18.

LESSON OUTLINE TWO
WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success can be defined as achievement of one’s aim or goal. To achieve success in life, there must be a driving force ie, vision which propels us to get things done. Examples of those who succeeded through God-given visions are;
1. Moses: He had an encounter with God in Exodus 3:2-10 which brought him success in life – Deut. 34:10-12.
2. Daniel-Daniel 2:19; 7:2-15.
3. Ananias-Acts 9:10-18. He commissioned Paul first into knowing
4. Cornelius – Acts 10:1-7. That vision from God brought salvation to his family.
5. Paul-Acts 9:1-9

ACTIVITY: Assess the life of Joseph with his vision and the factors that helped him to succeed.
