BREATHING LIFE TO DREAMS AND VISIONS (PART 5)



JAN 21ST


TEXT: Job 33:14-18. Habakuk 2:1-4

Job 33:14-18

14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.


Habakkuk 2:1-4
1      I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
 
2     And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
 
3    For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
 
4    Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.



Whatever your dream is in life, there is an appointed time for it to become reality. If it seem as though God has forgotten you, be encouraged with the testimony of people like Joseph. If it seem as though you are doing your very best but nothing is working out as expected, don’t give up. Let the word of God in Habakuk 2:2-3 be your motivation. Whatever you receive from God can never die. Refuse to accept any other report or conclusion. Stay focused and resolute on seeing the promises of God becoming a reality. Continually decree the promise. Say it again and again against all odds as you call it into being by your confessions and decrees. Tell yourself and all who care to listen that you are convinced that the word of God is true. Remember and stand on the word that says “Whatever is born of God overcomes the world, even our faith”. Know that your dream/vision is born of God, and not of your own making, and for this reason, see it overcoming all odds. Decree to it that you refuse to relent in your faith. Be stubborn against discouragement and stand on the promises of God till you see your expectation become a reality, and you will not be disappointed. Go beyond just reading this devotional, by taking out time today and other times to speak life to your dreams and destiny. God has something glorious for you, go after it until it manifests to His glory.
