Dare To Dream!

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert’ Isa. 43:19 [KJV]

God expects us to see the things He wants to do before He does them. A boy goes to his father with the request for a smart phone. And one day, the father calls the boy and says ‘Behold your smart phone, can you not see it?’ The child, while probably wondering if his father is sane says, ‘Dad I cannot see any smart phone; buy the smart phone and I will see it’. This is very similar to the way God deals with us but sadly a lot of us are responding like the boy. God is saying to you, ‘see the new thing I want to do. I will make a way in the wilderness but I need you to see it first’. It is like an instruction for us to see it. It is as if we have the capacity to see it. It is as if He is giving us the capacity to see this new thing He wants to do. And we are wondering, God I can’t see it. God is saying ‘behold, I am doing this new thing; I want you to see it. You have to accept you can see it first’. God is saying, ‘dare to dream’. It is not enough to be favoured; it is not enough to have dreams. Favour opens doors for dreams to come to fruition. If you are favoured and you don’t have a dream, it is like filling your car with fuel but having no direction, nowhere to drive the car to. Favour is what brings our dreams to reality because it is not by power or might.
What exactly is a dream? Dream here does not necessarily refer to when you sleep and you have a dream. If you are one of those who do not dream when you sleep then please note that this does not mean you do not have a dream. Even though you do not dream when you sleep, you should still have a dream. For those who sleep and see masquerades in their dream and are wondering if that is their dream. That is not your dream. If you have been seeing masquerades, today it will come to an end, in Jesus Name. So what you see in your sleep is not necessarily the dream we are referring to even though it can be a part of it also. You know God can give you a dream in that state of being asleep [Joel 2:28]. Even though some people say if God needs to knock you down to show you a dream, it means you are an old man. You should be awake and see the dream – the vision clearly. A dream is a mental picture of what could be.

Prayer: Father, in line with Your Word for this season I dare to dream. I decree that I will see what You are about to do even before it springs forth, in Jesus Name.
