DEFEND!

DEFEND!

Beloved congregation, let us delve deep into the profound truth that our dreams are sacred and ordained by the Almighty Himself. They are not mere figments of our imagination; rather, they are divine gifts, bestowed upon us for a purpose greater than ourselves.

In our journey through life, we will inevitably encounter discouraging people and challenging situations. They may attempt to cast doubt upon our dreams, to instill fear and hesitation within our hearts. But we must remain steadfast, unwavering in our belief that these dreams are not ordinary; they are extraordinary, divine appointments.

When negativity and doubt rear their heads, we are called to defend our dreams with the armor of faith. Remember that God, the Creator of the universe, is the author of our dreams. He has placed them within us with intention and purpose. He has designed us for a destiny far greater than we can fathom.

To defend our dreams is to protect the sacred covenant between us and our Creator. It is an act of faith, a declaration that we trust in God's divine plan for our lives. It is a refusal to allow the doubts of others or the challenges of life to deter us from the path that has been laid before us.

In defending our dreams, we must also defend our hearts against the insidious forces of negativity and doubt. We must cultivate a mindset of resilience, one that refuses to be swayed by the opinions or circumstances of this world. We must remain resolute in our belief that with God, all things are possible.

Beloved, as you face the trials and tribulations of life, as you encounter those who seek to discourage or dishearten you, remember this truth: your dreams are worth defending. They are worth the battle, for they hold the key to your destiny, to the purpose for which you were created.

With unwavering faith and a heart filled with determination, defend your dreams against all odds. Trust in God's guidance, and know that He is with you every step of the way. As you do, you will see your dreams transformed into reality, and your destiny will unfold before your eyes.

May we, as a congregation, stand united in defense of our dreams, for they are the manifestation of God's divine plan for our lives. 

Amen.
