A Powerful Force
‘A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.’ Prov.12:11.
The word for you today is, dare to dream again. Dream here does not mean wishful thinking because God expects you to take that dream and work it. Dream here does not mean building castles in the sky. I am talking about ideas that heaven will drop in your heart beginning from today. The ones heaven has dropped, heaven will rekindle in Jesus Name. So when a dream becomes a vision, it becomes powerful.
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. Read the rest of this entry
Not Your Thoughts
‘My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the Lord. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine’ Isa.55:8.
Too often as children of God we ask too small and we want it too quickly. We want God to do “X” for us and probably the request is not what God would really want for us. Some of us even reason that we do not want to bother God with heavy requests or every request so we opt for just anything and not what our hearts truly desire. Meanwhile God does not want to give you just any job, He wants to establish you as an employer of labor over a period of time. Yet some of us even when we perceive what God’s long term plans are for our lives we Read the rest of this entry
Have Faith & Build Faith
‘Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see’ Heb.11:1
As children of God everything we do really rests on faith. You call on the name of Jesus daily because you have faith that His name will bring deliverance to whatever situation you find yourself in. When you sit on a chair, you have faith that it can hold your weight. Similarly as children of God, everything we do from here on till eternity should be based on faith. The only reason you know you are saved is because you have faith. Faith is a shield. It protects you from living only by what you can see and know but trusting in every Read the rest of this entry
Vision II
‘Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he’ Prov.29:18 [KJV].
A clear vision eliminates distractions totally. An example will be what ensued between Elisha, the sons of the prophets, and Elijah. The sons of the prophet said to Elisha, ‘your master is going to be taken away from you’ – distraction. Elisha’s reaction because he had vision was to sharpen his focus. Elijah himself Read the rest of this entry
Vision I
‘I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession’ Gen13:15.
The eagle has a keen vision. Their eyes are specially designed for long distance focus and amazing clarity. While the peripheral view of man is almost 180o, the eagle’s view is 270o which is just 90o off 360o. The eagle can spot another eagle or something just as big from 80km away. From 500meters high, the eagle can Read the rest of this entry
