Dream Your Dream!

​The word this week is for dreamers whose dreams have not yet been fully fulfilled.
 
I am one of those dreamers. God graciously gave me a vision or dream for Christian ministry thirty-five years ago. I am happy to say that many facets of the dream have come to pass. But not all as of yet.  
 
David wrote in Psalm 20:4“May He grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your dreams.” I love this verse. Dreams and heart’s desires do come true.
 
To be honest, the unfilled parts of the dream are the ones that I think and wonder about. There is a fire burning in my spirit that will not be denied. I am dreaming a God-given dream. I cannot shake the vision from my soul, nor do I want to.
 
While it has yet to come true, I have asked myself what I am supposed to do.
 
I do know this: If I stop dreaming, I will start dying. If I quit dreaming, I will stop trying. Some people are dead while they live. How could this be? It is simple. They have stopped dreaming.
 
I have no desire to die while I live. With all my heart, I want to be fully alive in the Lord while I live and fulfill His dream for my life!
 
Proverbs 29:18 states “Where there is no vision (dream) the people perish.” When people have no revelation from God, they have no real reason to live. Death awaits those who do not dream. Our culture is dying because our people are rejecting God’s vision for a righteous nation. On the other hand, life, abundant and eternal is the reward of dreamers. Life, not death, is God’s will for man. God’s divine purpose through visions and dreams keeps us from perishing.
           
Our scripture speaks of “heart’s desires” and “your dreams.” Do you have a desire burning deep within to fulfill a dream for God? Are you dreaming about doing something significant with your life? Where does that vision to do something significant and meaningful come from?  Your dream comes from God. The Lord gives dreams to dreamers.  
 
According to David’s petition and prayer, God is the one who makes dreams come true! May He (God) bring your dream to pass. I Thessalonians 5:24 promises “Faithful is He (God) who calls you, who will also bring it to pass.”  What an encouraging word. God’s dreamers can count on God to fulfill the dreams He places in His people’s hearts.
 
So, my dream is not really my dream. It is His dream in me. And it is His responsibility to make it come true. Whew! That makes me feel a little better.
           
If dreamers stop dreaming, they will never know if the dream would have come true if they had just kept on dreaming the dream. Take some time and study in detail Genesis 37-50. Joseph was a dreamer who kept on dreaming his dream. He lived to see God’s dream come true.
 
 Dreaming a dream demands faith. Everyday faith. Dreaming your dream means trusting God to bring the dream to pass in His way and His time. God-given dreams cannot fail. Why? Because God can’t fail. And He doesn’t call His people to fail! Dreams help us succeed in life.
 
If I may, I would like to share some thoughts with you that I am meditating upon for myself.
 
  • When your dream seems dashed on the rocks of disappointment, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When you your dream is detoured by the devil, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When your dream is halted by divine delays, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When the fire of your dream is doused by non-dreamers, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When your dream dries up due to depleted resources, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When discouragement knocks on your door, stand tall and DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
  • When the dream you are dreaming looks impossible, DREAM YOUR DREAM!
 
Important Reasons For Dreaming Dreams
 
DREAM YOUR DREAM because precious people for whom Christ died are depending on you to fulfill God’s call on your life.
 
DREAM YOUR DREAM because “little dreamers” are watching you pursue your dream.
 
DREAM YOUR DREAM because God will be glorified as His dream for you comes true.
 
DREAM YOUR DREAM because you will be thrilled to fulfill His will for your life.
 
DREAM YOUR DREAM because this heartsick, hopeless world needs to dream God’s good dreams again.
 
My fellow dreamer, with all the faith and determination you can muster, never stop dreaming. Never quit on God’s vision. Never give up on the God-given dream that beats in your heart.
 
God’s dream for you will come true!!!
 
“And they said to one another “Here comes this DREAMER.”      Genesis 37:19
 
A Word For Your Week: Dream your dream until it comes true!
