LORD, I am asking for a Bigger Dream



Genesis 37: 9 ESV
“Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.””

Today, I want to ask the LORD, my God to show me the way forward. I also want to ask HIM for a vision for my own life. I also feel I want to ask God for a bigger dream. When reading about Joseph I came to realise that he dreamed a dream and then another dream only bigger.

What are my dreams currently? Well, I wrote Daily Devotional Ebenezer
and I am pushing for sales. Something that weighed heavy on my heart. I also started baking and I have become quite good but I am not an expert yet.

I would like to start up my own company but I feel I need wisdom, understanding and insight. I also want guidance and help. God placed Joseph in difficult positions and his character was tested on numerous occasions. Joseph stood the tests and came out on the other side a better person.

Prayer

Abba Father, behold, God is mighty and despises not any, He is mighty in strength and wisdom. Great is our Lord, and of great power, His understanding is infinite. O LORD, my God, You know me, I want to humbly pray to ask You please give me a vision for my own life and a bigger dream. Something I am able to reach. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
The Word for Today:
James 1: 5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.”

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
