“The Power of Dreams”
Friday, August 23, 2024Key Verse
“And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.” Genesis 37:5
Text — Genesis 37:1-11
Message
Dreams are series of visions or revelations we receive while sleeping. Most dreams come from God especially to His own children. In the Old Testament, God often spoke to His chosen servants to give them important information. Today, God still speaks to His children through dreams but more often through His word. From our Bible passage, we learnt that Joseph had two dreams and told them to his brethren and they hated him. Though their hatred made them to sell him to Egypt as a slave in a strange land, his dreams still came to pass. He became the Prime Minister of Egypt. Your dreams shall come to pass.
There is power in dreams, and as long as you are a friend of Jesus, the promise of God in your life will be fulfilled. For your dreams to be fulfilled you must desire it in prayer so that God will do what has been shown in the dreams. However, you must not elevate the power of dreams above the word of God. Everything that youneed to make you successful in life is in the Bible. Make it your best companion, read it, meditate on it and obey its commandments.
