DREAMS!
Beloved congregation,
Today, I stand before you with a message that the Lord has laid upon my heart, a message about the innate power of the dreams He has planted within us. I've titled this message "Dreams," for it is about these sacred aspirations that stir within our souls. "God instills dreams within you, providing all necessary tools for their fulfillment; trust in His provision as you pursue your heart's desires."
Our Father, in His infinite wisdom and boundless love, has designed each of us with a purpose—a dream that aligns with the very essence of our being. These dreams are not idle whims; they are beacons guiding us toward our divine destiny. And with these dreams, God, in His providence, has equipped us with every resource, every talent, and every bit of strength we require to see them come to pass.
The Scriptures say in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." This is not merely a comforting thought; it is a promise—a promise that whatever vision God has given you, He will also provide the means to achieve it.
It is crucial, therefore, that we trust in God's provision. The path to realizing our dreams may be fraught with challenges, but these obstacles are not signs of denial; they are opportunities for growth, for stretching our faith, and for experiencing God’s faithfulness.
As you stand in the presence of God, I urge you to hold your dreams close to your heart. Nurture them with prayer, water them with faith, and cultivate them with action. Remember, the Almighty who has given you these dreams is the same God who parted the Red Sea, who fed thousands with five loaves and two fish, and who raised Lazarus from the dead. There is nothing too hard for Him.
In conclusion, let your dreams take flight on the wings of faith. Embrace them with the certainty that God has already provided all you need for their fulfillment. Walk boldly in the direction of your dreams, for the One who called you is faithful, and He will do it.
Amen.
