Dream


Main Scripture:  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil 4:13 (KJV)

Today, August 28, 2013 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech. He delivered this speech to more than 200,000 people on the steps of the Lincoln memorial on August 28, 1963.

Martin Luther King had a dream of equality, freedom and justice for all Negroes in America. Today we can say that his dream is a reality, today people of all races  pray together,  struggle together, go to jail together and stand up for freedom together.

Ladies do you have a dream? Today my encouragement to you is to dream, dream and dream big. While you dream however, here are some steps to making your dream a reality.

·         Ensure that your dream is in line with the will of the Almighty – Pray and ask God if your dream is his will for your life. If it is He will make a way even in the desert places. He will open doors of opportunities for you that you did not even know were possible.

·         Believe in your dream – people will want to discourage you but as long as you know that your dream is in the will of God believe in it

·         Get the support of others – Martin Luther King told his dream to over 200,000 people who also bought into it and helped him to fight to make this dream of reality. Once you believe in your dream you can sell it to anyone.

·         Be passionate about your dream – your passion will motivate you to press on even when  the obstacles and trials come during the pursuit of your dreams

·         Do not settle for less than your dream – If God sanctions your dream it can happen, there is nothing impossible with God. If you gave you that dream it will come through no matter what it takes.

·         Never stop praying – start with prayer, end with prayer. Always keep God in the loop, He is your source, He is your provider, He is your strong tower, your friend and your deliverer. He will never leave you so ensure you always check in with him.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Lord Jesus, we thank you for giving us dreams and hopes, we pray today that you will lead and direct us as we give our dreams and future to you. Open doors of opportunities for us, close the doors that need to be closed. Send persons to sew into our lives and future to make our dreams a reality. Most of all God we pray that in our doing you will be glorified.
In Jesus Name
Amen
