HERE COMES THE DREAMER
Memorise: In a dream, in a
vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the
bed; then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, Job
33:15-16
Read: Genesis 37:9-19, Bible
in one year: 2 Samuel 21-22, Proverbs 14:4-17
Dreams are important.
Psychoanalysts believe that dreams are an indication of the dreamer’s inner
longings, desires and cravings, released from the deep sub-conscious during the
state of sleep. Dreams can therefore be the manifestation of the inner
yearnings of the dreamer’s heart let loose during sleep; they can also be
spiritually induced. Dreams play a significant role in the life of human
beings. Paul received direction on where to preach next through a dream in Acts
16:9
“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; there
stood a man of Macedonia, and help us.”
Dreams are sometimes
mysterious; such dreams convey revelations. To understand them, interpretation
is required. Have you been having strange experiences in your dreams? My
sincere prayer is that the Good Lord will grant you victory in your dreams and
turn your God-sent dreams into reality in Jesus’ Name. Dreams can be classified
by their features. One such classification includes: dreams as a message from
God or the devil, dreams as the carrier of a message concealed in mysteries;
and dreams as a result of activity or thoughts. Sources of dreams are God, the
devil and the flesh. God relates with man through dreams for specific reasons.
These reasons can be any of these: to instruct him to carry out an action
(Matthew 2:13), to warn him of an impending danger (Matthew 2:22), to teach him
(Job 33:15-16), to encourage him (Genesis 31:10-13), to rebuke him (Genesis
31:24), to correct him ((Genesis 20:3-7) and to bless or make a covenant with
him (Genesis 28:12-15). The devil relates with man to cause fear and unbelief,
to inflict man with sicknesses or death, to make diabolical covenants with him
and to mislead him. Most dreams men have are from the flesh. A dream from the flesh
simply means the revelation of the dreamer’s carnal longings and desires being
let loose at the moment of sleep. Are you facing afflictions of your dreams?
Please check your life. How pure are your thoughts? How will you rate your
prayer life? All these go a long way in determining the type of dreams you
have. Moreover, many people dream and can be described as mere dreamers,
whereas those who succeed in life are men and women with dream. However, while
the dreamer talks much but does little, the person with a dream talks little
but does much. Which are you: a mere dreamer or a person with a dream?
Action Point
Those who make it in life do
something about their dreams. They attempt the impossible, thereby discovering
what God can do. Do something about your dream today.
