WHAT IS DREAM?

                                            WHAT IS DREAM?

For God so loved the world, that he

gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever

believeth in him should not perish, but

have everlasting life.

John 3:16

T

he Almighty God is a dreamer. God so loved mankind, that He began  the entire redemption of man with a dream; His vision was big and global. As a result of this, Jesus came to fulfill that dream of redemption.

In Genesis 12:1-4, God told Abram: “get thee out of thy country…” He was only emphasizing that if Abram will be great, he should change his mentality and reason like a child of God. Abram could not achieve all that God said because one thing was missing- he had no dream.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that lot was separated from him, Life up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

Genesis 13:14-15

From the above scripture, God told Abram that he would achieve what He (God) had promised only if he had a dream. “…lift up now thine eyes for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it…” does not mean the physical sight but connotes having a dream.

The elasticity of your dream determines how far God will take you. You are where you are now based on your dream; you cannot be greater than your dream. A man’s destiny is defined by the dream he has.

WHAT IS DREAM?

Dream is a mental picture of your future from scriptures that you want to feature.

Dream is the invisible picture within you that defines your future. It is a vision born of revelation not ambition; it is a picture of what you have been called by God to accomplish. The Word of God (Bible) is a Dream Bank.

We live in a world ruled by dreamers. A life without a dream is like embarking on a journey without a destination. All you need to do for your dream to be accomplished is to let your dream be in line with God’s Word and no force can stop you. God does not determine your measure of blessing; you determine it. Not every dream however id from God; every dream that contradicts the word of God is not from God hence, your dream must be in line with God’s word.

As you begin to dream, no force in hell will stop you in Jesus name.

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Genesis 17:5

God changed Abram’s name to Abraham and painted a dream for him that changed his lifestyle.

When you are able to grasp the picture God has painted for you in His Word, then you have a glorious future. Your dream becomes a reality.

He staggered not a the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

Romans 4:20

Abraham  did not staggered at his dream because, he believed unwaveringly that his dream was rooted in God’s word and would not be uprooted by any force. His dream came to pass because of his steadfastness; irrespective of the prevailing circumstance.

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, so shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness

Genesis 15:5-6

God is the Author of dreams and His Word (the Bible) is made up of amazing dream seeds. The wise go to God’s word to draw their dreams.

The Holy Spirit begins everything with an invisible picture within you for your desired dream to manifest.

Abraham nurtured the pictures of many generations and his harvest became mighty. When you visualize the reality of your dream, nothing can alter it; not even curse; because, Jesus Christ paid the price to destroy every curse on you (Galatians 3:13-14). Seeing the validity of your dream makes you resolute irrespective of the prevailing circumstance.

Jesus had a big dream; came to the world with that dream; earnestly pursued the dream without wavering and His dream was fulfilled. What is your dream and what is your decision concerning that dream?

People set goals but cannot achieve those goals because they are dreamless. You can only set goals, when you have a dream.

In 1952, a prominent university discovered that out of 100 students that graduated, only three students had dreams and wrote down their goals. After graduation, ten years later, study showed that only 3% of the students were successful; 97% were not successful because they graduated without any dream.

Consider the Star in any field; he is the one with a dream. You can be educated and yet be irrelevant if you have n dream.

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

When it comes to dream, always write down your dreams.

If you do not write down your dreams and goals you cannot go forward in life.
