Hold Firm to Your Dreams

HOLD FIRM TO YOUR DREAM. 


Gen. 37:5 &9 

5. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren, and they hated him yet the more.

9. And he dreamed yet another dream and told it his brethren, and said, Behold I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.


There are dream and vision killers. Be very careful who you share your dream with.

When God gives a man dream, He may not show him what you will encounter on the road to fulfilling the dream. Be sure of one thing, He will lead you as He did with Joseph.


There are many great soldiers of Christ with great dreams, but the enemy of their souls has collected the glorious future using Delilah and Potiphar's wife of this world. Both Samson and Joseph were enticed by sex. Samson fell but Joseph did not trade his dream for what has no eternal value. Friends, what is that thing that the enemy dangled before you in exchange for your DREAM? It may look spiritual, it may look real and acceptable to all. Will it take you to God's destination for your life?


Many Christians have traded their God-given dream for comfort, fame, position, money, social status, and even sex and have lost their inheritance among the saints of God. Esau traded his birthright for mere food and lost it all. He sought it with tears but could not get it back. Gen. 25:30-34, Heb. 12:16&17.


Beloved of God, do not sell your birthright, dream, vision, or blueprint. That dream, and vision, that God gave you may not be recognized by men, and as a result, men may despise you. Trade it not. Though it tarries, wait for it. It is a matter of time. If Joseph has traded his dream for ten minutes of pleasure, he would not have been the prime minister of Egypt. What God has given you is too precious for you to trade on the altar of immorality.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
