DREAM BIG

“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20 MSG

One of the tragedies of the believer is the inability to take full advantage of the promises of God. Many times, believers behave like the person who decided to go to the river to get water but went with a tablespoon. Can you imagine that? Now before you laugh it off, are you not like that? God has given you a blank cheque, but what are you doing with it?

Our word for the year is very clear– God reassures us of His ability and indeed His readiness to give us whatever we can ever imagine, guess or request even in our wildest dreams. The question is: do you have a dream? Do you have a request? Or did you just scribble something on paper and threw in the prayer box without any form of expectation?

I know the last year may have been tough. I know that some requests appear delayed and you feel like giving up. But I have come to challenge you never to give up. You will surely have the last laugh. God has a plan for you. He is ready to do exceeding abundantly above all that you can ever ask or think. So don’t waste this blank cheque; get your imagination working. If you can see it in your mind’s eye, God says He can do it. If you can dream it, God says He can make it happen. Yesterday is gone; 2020 is gone and gone forever. Don’t relive the year; it is time to move on. Whether the year was all rosy or challenging is not the issue. The issue is that there is a need to forget the past; there is a need to align your thoughts with His promises.

I dare you to take God at His word this year and watch Him come through for you. You will testify in Jesus’ name.
