DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?

I have a DREAM.

Ask a child what he/she wants to become in the future and you will get an amazing response:
"I want to be a Doctor"
"I want to be a Pilot"
"I want to be an Engineer"
"I want to be a Fashion Designer"
"I want to be a Footballer"
"I want to be Bank Manager"
"I want to be a Lawyer"
 etc. etc.

Fast forward into 25 years later, the realisations of those declared dreams become a mirage and are just lost into thin air.

Its explainable and understandable because along the line, some lost interest in their dreams, some found a 'much better' dream to follow, some were encumbered financially and thus could not achieve same, others out of survival to live found it convenient to do something else rather unfulfiling etc. etc.

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM?
Some are concerned about them reaching their peak age and hence decide not to pursue a dream of interest. Time is a factor but should not be a limitation.

You need not wait to have all things settled before you step out into an activity. Its not always about the money but rather, have the idea, the audacity to implement and a strong mental fortitude to brave all odds even in the face of discouragement and taunting opposition.

WHAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THIS LIFE BEFORE??
 Grandma Moses was an american folk artist and begun painting on canvas in her 70's with one of her collections selling for US$1.2million in 2006

In her early life, she started out working on farms, cooking and sewing for families she worked for until arthritis set in. Her painting career then kicked in till her demise at age 101

What would be your excuse for not going after what you dreamed of??

Age indeed is just a number!!

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES...

In life, we make a lot of utterances; men, women, boys , girls, oldies and the rest.

1, Are you aware that, when you miss a meal from your normal  three square meal, you wouldn't die???

2, Are you also aware that, when u hiccup, you miss a breath and u dont fall down dead???

3, Are you also aware that, when you hold your breath for just some few seconds, you wont also fall down dead???

Now, this message is for people for might have been really discouraged, looking down on themselves, thinking God doesnt love them, thinking God cannot use them any longer for a major miracle or purpose. I am here telling you that, GOD LOVES YOU IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR PRESENT STATE. With men, you have to work for their love, but with God, he comes in first to express His love to you without any prove of work.

This is  what i want to drive at....your present mistakes, errors, minor and major sins might be a factor in hindering your trust, faith and ability in God.

Just like the three scenarios stated above, when any one misses his or her meal for a very long considerable time, he might die. When a person holds his breath unecessarily for an undue period of time, he might die. IN THE SAME WAY, WHEN U REMAIN IN THAT SAME STATE OF FEAR, DISCOURAGEMENT, MISTAKES, SIN, AND FAITHLESSNESS, YOU COULD DIE.

Mind you, a minute of unbelief could breed fear and could lead to a major disaster in life. A period of hatred could lead to instability in your physical and spiritual system and thus, harming urself and ur relationship with God.

It is Gods wish for you to know that, those things dont have to linger too long with you. JESUS paid the price....the full price for all your shortcomings.

Have faith in God. Whenever u fall down , JUST ARISE, SHAKE UP THE DUST AND MOVE ON. ...NEVER REMAIN IN THE STATE OF FALLING DOWN AND NEVER RISING UP COS IT MIGHT BE TOO COSTLY.

stay blessed.
