Vision 2026 BLUEPRINT - Session 2


 I joyfully welcome you to Session 2 of our VISION 2026 BLUEPRINT Coaching Session.

 

I believe you have completed your REVIEW. If you have not, what are you waiting for? I believe you want to be more deliberate with your life, so please go over my notes of the last session here:

 

Vision 2026 BLUEPRINT - Session 1

 

Do your best to review last year before carrying out the exercises of this session.

 

Socrates said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.”

 

Here’s a bonus tip for your REVIEW: As you review, please note things and people you are truly thankful for as regards 2025. Thank God deeply for the things and people, and show your appreciation to those people this season.  

 

Today’s session is a bumper one, as we’ll be combining RECEIVING (direction for the coming year) and RESTRATEGIZING for a better 2026. Hmmmmm!

 

Okay, if you’re ready, then let’s goooo!


RECEIVING DIRECTION FOR THE COMING YEAR

It is good to plan and be deliberate, but it is best when your plan and actions align with God’s plans and will for your life.

 

God has great plans for you in 2026, and He wants to reveal them to you.



The issue is whether you are willing to hear.


If you position yourself to hear from God as regards 2026, He will speak to you. You will see what He will say to you, and He wants you to write it down in such a way that you can run with it.

 

Deliberately ask God to speak to you about the year 2026. You may go on a fast if you wish, but believe that God will speak to you about the year. Humble yourself under God’s mighty hand and receive with meekness His engrafted word that can save your soul (1Pet. 5:6, James 1:21).

 

As you pray and ask God concerning the year, certain scriptures will come to your mind. Study them and write them down. Don’t despise whatever comes to your heart. If God has already spoken to you about 2026, meditate on those things again and write them down.

 

Also, ask God for the things you desire concerning the year.


 Write down the things God speaks to you about your desires. 

 


You can use them to form confessions. As we progress, I will explain how you will make use of these things you have written down.

  

 

Let’s now move to RESTRATEGIZING FOR A BETTER 2026

 

Here, we shall develop our 2026 Playbook.

 


The major raw materials for this exercise are your:

1. The Direction/Word that you have received for 2026 

2. Your Review of the Various Events and Various Aspects of your life in 2025.

3. Your BIG DREAMS and DESIRES for 2026.

   

Here is a proposed Table of Contents for your 2026 Playbook:

 i. Prophetic Words and Confessions

ii. My Vision 2026

iii. Major Goals/Priorities

iv. Daily Strategies

v. The New Me

vi. Strategies for Overcoming

vii. Resources

 

 

PROPHETIC WORDS AND CONFESSIONS:


 Write down the direction you have received from God, scriptures, and confessions in line with this direction and your desires for 2026.

 

MY VISION 2026:

Write down your big dreams and desires for the year. The exceptional things you want to achieve in various areas of your life. It’s best to narrow them down to about 3 or 5. Write them down in the present or past tense. For example, in 2026, I study (or studied) a course in Cybersecurity. Do not say I will. As you write each one, close your eyes and see yourself doing and experiencing that thing.

 

MAJOR GOALS/PRIORITIES: 

Take each big dream you have and break it down into goals. Follow the SMART Goals format. Make the goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based.    

Also, write out the things you must prioritize to achieve your visions

 

DAILY STRATEGIES:


 List out the things you will do each day to achieve your goals.  


Dr. Mike Murdock once said, "The secret of your future is in your daily routine."  


THE NEW ME:

Based on your review of last year, list out the major changes you desire to make in 2026. The new mindsets, attitudes, and habits you have in 2026. Write them in the present or past tense. For example, I forgive (or I forgave) people easily.  I woke up at 4:00 am. I reduced the time I spent scrolling aimlessly on social media.    

 

This is one of the major high points of this exercise - The new you that will emerge as you renew your mind and apply the new strategy for your life.

 

Applying a better knowledge of yourself and applying the knowledge you discover on how to achieve your goals.

 

The truth is that there is nothing special or magical about the coming year. You are the one who is special, and the real MAGIC is in you. Real MAGIC is Man Applying God-Inspired-Creativity

 

If you want to grow, you must be ready to dare the impossible. Renew your mind and do what you have not done before. Live with purpose.

 

Number your days and apply your heart to wisdom (Psa. 90:12).

 

Based on God’s purpose and end for your life, decide on the kind of person you need to be (2Pet. 3:11).

 

 

STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING:


Based on the major challenges you had in 2025 or previous years, list out things you know may be challenges in 2026 and how you plan to overcome them. As before, write this in the present or the past.  For example, ‘when my Boss talked to me this way, I saw it as an opportunity to improve myself, and I did not respond rudely.’

 

Do this for all the challenges you envisage. Make sure you have no more blind spots.

  

RESOURCES:


 Think and list out both the things and people you need to surround yourself with to help you achieve your VISION 2026, especially the new you.

 

What knowledge do you need to help you achieve your goals?

 

What groups or communities do you need to belong to?

 

What coaching do you need?

  

 

So that’s it for your 2026 Playbook!

 

Phew! I know this is quite intense, especially for this festive season we're in, but I also know you agree with me that after taking out time to craft your 2026 Playbook, you will be better positioned for a phenomenal year.

 

So, plan the days and times you will carry out these exercises – RECEIVING DIRECTION and RESTRATEGIZING FOR A BETTER 2026. 



If you have any questions, please email me.



In our next and final session, we will create visuals: our Vision Board and our Goals Sheets. 


We’ll be using AI. 


It will be amazing.  


See you next week.


Thank you for taking part in this exercise.

My Experience with Depression and Suicide in 2001

Image
I was a year one student in school and by God’s grace, together with some wonderful people, I had just started a campus fellowship. The inaugural program was very successful and about 30 people came out to receive Christ into their lives. But very strangely, immediately after the program a very strong negative feeling came on me. I began to feel like I had bitten more than I could chew and that I was going to disgrace myself and let God down. It was like I was hearing a voice say to me “what have you gotten yourself into”? With all these negative feelings weighing down on me a terrible fear just filled my heart and I could not do anything any longer.Then one day I decided to end it all. I was wearing a white shirt and a black trouser and I had all the money I had at the time in my pocket. I took a bus and travelled down to Sapele town and after highlighting from the car I decided to linger around for a while so that it could get dark before I walk towards the bridge and ...
