Dream Killers

  • Printable Version - Share on Facebook - Posted by Dion Todd November 26, 2015 - Filed in Devotional - 10,411 views
    Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more. He said to them, 'Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.' His brothers said to him, 'Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?' They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words. Genesis 37:5 WEB

    God spoke to Joseph in a dream and showed him his destiny. But when Joseph told his brothers about it, they became angry. Later, when they had him in an isolated place, they plotted to kill him, but compromised instead and sold him into slavery to traveling merchants. It only pushed him closer to his destiny.

    If God has given you a dream, believe in it. It will come to pass in the proper time, but be careful who you share it with. Do not throw your pearls before swine (Matt. 7:6). Work towards your dream and do your part, but be wary of dream killers for they do not see the potential inside of you that God sees.

    Most of the time the people that you grew up with will never see you as anything different for they will not look any deeper than the surface. God looks on the heart. He often chooses the small and weak to do the big and powerful. Even Jesus was considered to be just a carpenter in His hometown. His dreams, were not theirs.

    'Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?' They were offended at him' (Mark 6:3).

    Hang onto God today, believe that He has a plan for You like He promised. Involve Him in you life and your decision making. Don't be disappointed when others do not see God's plan for your life. He is the One that will bring it to pass, not them.

    Prayer: Father, I thank You for the plan that You have for me. I choose to believe in You today willingly. Fulfill Your plan for my life and guide me into all that You have for me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

    Note: Happy Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for each of you, and pray you all have a blessed and joyous day!

Sylvia Schmidt
Sylvia Schmidt Thank you. After feeling devastated at my boss changing his mind about me teaching in January, They hired someone new for a different course so that the original instructor could now teach Web Dev. It was hard to get this news by receiving a blank schedule. I wanted to teach so bad for some 20 years and I feel I just have to give up on teaching. I can't take the rejection anymore. When the door keeps getting closed for teaching permanently, it's time to look somewhere else that maybe God wants me to be, like this new dream he has me on. I really needed to focus on God's different plan for my life. Thank you. I needed this. Also finally getting my doctor's permission to get off of these birth control pills which caused me depression for the past 2.5 months, will also help me too. We get snow and really cold weather for 6 months of the year up here in Canada where I live and I hope to feel emotionally better soon.

Sylvia Todd I'm so sorry they gave you the news about the class in such a rude way, Sylvia :(. I pray that the Lord grants you great grace with this new dream and that He opens all of the doors wide for you! Praise God you can get off the pills, too, I'm sure that will be a big help! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
