RETURN TO THAT DREAM
(Your Dreams Can Still Happen; Just Don’t Give Up On Them)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Matthew 10:27 NIV “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.””
◀️ LET’S TALK
“I want to be a neurosurgeon. I usually find myself drawn to medical books that talk about the body and its nervous system; the intricacy of the body is a maze I would like to unravel someday,” Timothy said to his cousin, Fabian, with a gleeful look towards the sky.
“That’s a beautiful dream, but you’ve got to attend medical college for that,” Fabian replied.
Timothy, on hearing Fabian’s advice, lost his enthusiasm and replied: “Hmm, I don’t have enough money to start the registration process for any medical program; I’m just so confused.”
His head dropped and he began to walk off in despair, till Fabian called to him, “Hey c’mon, don’t throw in the towel just like that. We’ll talk to the Lord first, and then make some enquiries, ok!”
Later on, Timothy’s dreams of neurology got funded, and he became the first neurosurgeon in his town.
If you thought it’s almost impossible to achieve your dreams, don’t give up. All you need do is to “Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore!” (1 Chronicles 16:11). He knows what to do and how to help you. Remember, Moses answered the call of God at the age of eighty. His old age didn’t truncate his destiny. It was the same with Abraham, who received God’s promise of a child at seventy-five years of age. The Bible says, “...Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles...” (Isaiah 40:31). So never give up on your dream!
The energy you require for all that God has destined for you is of the Spirit, and it’s inherent in you: “That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 MSG). Rely on this energy from the Lord. It’s not too late to see that dream actualised; just refuse to give up on it.

🔊 Pray
Dear Lord, you’re the strength of my life. I take advantage of your grace and might in fulfilling my destiny in you. I’m continually energised, growing from strength to strength, by your Spirit in my inner man, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
