Dreams do come true in God.
Thinking deeply and listening to God carefully, this fact hit home - God wants us to live a life of blessing, he wants us to live the life more abundantly.
Here is what he says:
Psalm 103
1 Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.
2
Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;
3
Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;
4
Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;
5
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.
He brings benefits in our life
Here are is another scripture verse to think on:
Psalm 37
4
Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust in Him also and He will do it.
Perhaps it may seem as if you've waited long, but I can tell you there are truly benefits from waiting in God - the "potter" develops character in us and prepares us for the blessings.
Many of us in blessing season may become distracted, move away from the place of prayer as we may become too comfortable and some may even come into the place of idolising these "earthly gifts".
Trust in God's timing. Remember delay does not mean NO.
I stir renewed faith and hope today in you, in the name of Jesus. May God stir those old dreams again in Jesus name.
Believe God again for those secret things he spoke to you.
Remember it's not seeing first then believing, faith is defined simply as believing first, then (receiving and) "seeing".
Take those steps of faith, begin today
and watch God open doors for you, that no man can close and he will provide the destiny helpers and resources.
Let us move away from the place of allowing external circumstances to dictate our destiny. Throw of all that pollutes our faith. Remember Isaac sowed during the time of famine and in that same year, he reaped 100 fold. When Nehemiah was building the wall there was great opposition, David was only a "lanky" lad when he fought Golioth, the traditional battle armour of the soldiers couldn't even fit him. Remember too Abraham and Sarah were way beyond "child bearing" years. Also whenever facing battles the other armies surrounding the Israelites were greater in size, weaponry and seemed to have developed greater intelligence.
Go out today, with the assurance that God is bigger and greater than any challenge and it is he that stirred these dreams in you in the first place. Each day it is about living out and fulfilling the great purpose that God made you for.
Move forward in faith in Jesus name
You will end well in Jesus name
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
