There is no greater need today in the church than that of visionary leaders. this is because vision takes a church beyond the maintenance level. In the church, everything is propelled and energized by vision.
DEFINITION
Visionary
The Advanced learners Dictionary defines visionary as the ability to think about or plan the future with great imagination and intelligence.
VISION
The same dictionary defines vision as an idea or a picture in your imagination or the ability to think or plan the future with great imagination.
Webster dictionary states that vision is something supposedly seen by others than normal sight. something perceived in a dream, trance, etc or supernaturally revealed, as to a prophet.
LEADER
A leader is someone who knows the right way to go, goes that way himself, and then shows others. Phil Pringle said leaders actually conceive realities within themselves before the events have happened. A visionary leader is to some extent a prophet with a message. He sees things that others have not seen. He preaches it until others can do it. this is because leadership is influence. it is the ability to influence others to follow by making them understand where he, the leader, is going to.
