Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
☆ God has good plans for each of us His children.
God does speak to His children in dreams and visions.
Let us hold on to His promises, the dreams He gave us.
☆Joseph was a dreamer...God spoke to him through dreams and his brothers scoffed at him, wrote him off, never believed his dreams will come true some day.
Genesis 37: 5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.
9 Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
10 When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?” 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind."
☆ But Joseph held of to what God showed him, though things around him seemed to compel him to quit...
God gave Joseph a dream of becoming a great and mighty leader. Joseph never doubted.
☆ The enemy tried hard to steal God's dreams, kill and destroy God's plan but Joseph chose to hold on. Joseph was tried and tested. Many years later, after being sold into slavery and falsely accused, thrown into prison, God fulfilled that dream and put him in command over all of Egypt.
Psalm 105:19-22 tells us that “They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character but finally the King made him ruler of all he possessed."
☆ If God has spoke to us we too need to hold on to God's Promises and not believe or receive any bad reports.
☆Let us like Caleb and Joshua,not be afraid of the giants we will face and possess our promised land and inherit all that God says is ours...!!
Hold on....press on...to what God in store for you...
Good night..
