Do you have a dream? A big dream? If not, it's time to get one.
Why is it important to have a dream? Because God said in the Bible that a person without a dream will die (Proverbs 29: 18). Not die physically, necessarily, but die spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically.
WOW! That is serious stuff!
What is a dream? A dream is a revelation from God that usually comes in the form of a burning desire to be or to do something. For example, many years ago, I had a burning desire to be a writer, so I became a writer. I have a burning desire to be like Jesus, so I am becoming more and more like Jesus.
Where do dreams come from? They come from God. They are God's gift to you to inspire you to fulfill His purposes in the earth.
Some dreams, however, are not from God but from our own selfish ambition. It is important to know the difference.
How can you know if a dream is from God or from your own selfish desires? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
1--Will my dream glorify God? Will it make Him famous instead of making me famous?
2--Will my dream help other people, or will it benefit only me?
3--Is my dream beyond my human ability to achieve? In other words, do I need a miracle from God to achieve my dream?
If you can answer yes to these three questions, then your dream is from God.
But what if you don't have a dream? What should you do?
Simple. Ask God to give you His dream for your life. Then keep your eyes open as He answers your request.
Dreams are the stuff of life. Dreams will keep you young. Dreams will keep you happy. Dreams will help you to change the world for Jesus.
Go get a dream! :)
