Moses sent 12 princes of Israel to spy out the land that God had promised them. The mission instructions were very specific. Moses asked for a report on the land, the people, the fruit and the wood. When the 12 princes returned they all agreed on the facts of the report. Two of the 12 princes, talhua and Caleb, disagreed on the recommendation the other 10 princes of Israel gave Moses, Aaron and all the people of Israel.
Psalm 1:1-3 
The majority of my friends here on fb are Christians, Along with myself, I see other's posting scriptures, praising God, reminding others of God's goodness, mercy, grace etc… You see this and hear it in churches too. Praises ring out in adoration for our Lord and God!
I want to share with you I Corinthians 12:7-11. Verse 7-But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. Verse 8- For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. Verse 9-To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit. Verse 10-To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: Verse 11-But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
No serious baker would make a cake and leave out the flour. No serious cook would make soup and leave out the water. There are some things that require all the ingredients if it is to be made properly. Likewise, as we are being made into a people ready to be used by God, we too must have all of the required ingredients. Just as faith is partners with works and praise is partners with prayers, so too is vision partners with values. Vision without values is like trying to be Robin without the hood, Jay without the Z or Jesus without the disciples. You don’t have to look at any of these pictures long before you realize something is missing.
