DREAMS AND FAITH

MEMORISE: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; – 2 Corinthians 4:13

BIBLE READING: Hebrews 11:8-10 (KJV)

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

MESSAGE:

Before I became born again, and while I had no faith, my greatest ambition was to be the youngest vice-chancellor in Africa. However, by the time l got to know Jesus and surrendered my life to Him, I began to understand that my natural mind could not even imagine how far He could take me. Now, I have learnt to dream big because I have a God who can do truly great and mighty things.

Many people dream but have little or no faith that their dreams will become a reality. Faith is, therefore, significant in the realisation of one’s dreams. Beloved, your faith must grow. In Mark 4:35-41, the Lord asked His disciples why they had no faith, but in Matthew 6:30, He said to them, “O ye of little faith”, meaning that they now had faith, even though it was little. Your faith can grow to become great faith (Matthew 15:21-28).

My dear child, your future can be far better than your dreams, but yoU must work on your faith. When you hear me talking about my aspirations and dreams, I am only saying such great things because of how much faith I have in my God.

REFLECTION:
How big is your faith?
