DON’T DREAM OR WISH JUST PRAY

DREAM

This is a very common word in the English dictionary, which people make use of every single day. According to John Dryden, dreams are imaginary events seen in the mind while sleeping. It can also be described as a visionary scheme; a wild conceit; an idle fancy. We can also describe dreams as what we hope for.

These days you hear lot of people dreaming of things, job, money, and life. This type of dream is not the one John Dryden was talking about, but the one I call fantasy. A teenager/youth will tell you his or her dream is to become a Doctor, Engineer, accountant, lawyer, psychologist and name all the good job in life.

WISH

According to Wiktionary a wish is a desire, hope or longing for something or for something to happen. It can also be described as the process of expressing or thinking about such a desire etc. (often connected with ideas of magic and supernatural powers). It seems the word Wish and Dream have something in common. They can be both describing a single word “HOPE”.

The word wish is commonly used in birthday parties. It gets to the time the celebrant wants to cut the cake, they tell him or her to close eyes, makes a wish, and turn off the candles. Ask anyone to make a wish; you hear them pour out their heart desires or things which he or she has been seeking for in years. I wish I had a girl friend like Nicki Minaj, I wish I had $3.5millon dollars in my bank account, I wish I could sing like Chris Brow, I wish I could have a party like the one Jackso Derulo had in wiggle. I wish I had this, I wish I could be that, I wish I was there.

But what you dream to be or become and thing you wish for, there are people already there, and guess, those there are also dreaming and wishing to be bigger, higher and better. I am not saying if you have a dream of becoming a Doctor you should quite. No, all I telling you is to stop dreaming or wishing to be, or become someone.

PRAY

Let say you are a Christian, Muslim or someone who believes in miracles, I will advise you to stop dreaming or wising just pray. You do believe there is someone up there who hears your prayers? You believe He has eyes he can see whatever you are passing through. You call him your creator, He knows the future, and He knows what is best for you? Then why telling him what to do?

I have come to study life to an extent, that I don’t dream nor wish for things, I ask for and I always grant permission before I take. I know this is going to confuse you, but I will explain. When I make prayer request, I always add something “God please make it a possibility if you know it’s best for me”.

Have you ever imagine why you have never had hundreds of thousands of dollars in your bank account? Or perhaps why your father could never buy a car? If no, I will advice you to put something’s into consideration. Imagine you have $300.000 dollars in your bank account and it was only meet to be spent by you, what would you use it for? Have you ever imagined if your father had cars and gave you one as your birthday gift, you would have ride to your death? No, you never thought of it. I am trying to say having millions of dollars and good cars in your position is bad. But the bad thing is how it would have affected you.

Maybe God saw that if you would be that you dreamt of, it will wrongly affect you that is why He is giving you what He knows is best for you. I have come to study God so much, that when He sees you too desperate to get anything, He gives.

That is why you hear stories like, the man just bought his first car last week and got an accident with it yesterday, and he died. In Africa where I came from, Nigeria precisely they will tell you the enemies it at work (black magic). Mr. Gabriel got a contract of $500.000 dollars yesterday morning and he got a heart attack last night. The heart attack was not because he was spiritually attacked, but because he was thinking of how and where to secure the money from harmed rubbers, kidnaper or fraud.

These are the things God is trying to secure you from, but you are just too carried away to see them. Maybe God wants you to be the best of what He knows is best for you these are why your fantasy dreams and wishes are not coming true. Note; everything has its own set time, if you where meet to be what you dreamt or wish to become, it is just a matter of time and hard work. So I will advice stop dreaming or wishing, just pray.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN FENCE TOO

When I was in secondary school, my school did not have a fence round the school apart from the one built in front for the gateman, others areas like the backside and the rest were left open. At that time, it was difficult to restrain the students from going out of the school compound. After the morning assembly, many students would walk out of the school compound, some would go back home, some would go to their friends house, some would go to play, some would come into the school through bush track etc. Many crimes were recorded & reported in our school then. The situation really got out of hand. To curb all these situations, our principal then (Mr Ekefre) did something! We got to the school one day & found out that, they have used white canvas like paint to draw a line round the school compound. On getting to the assembly ground, the principal came to address us and said, ' We now have a fence in this school. That white line you see is the school fence for now! Once y...

You see that statement up there? Let me tell you about it. This Brother was one of the Coordinators in their fellowship. He was close to this sister and the sister too likes him just as brother in the fellowship, fervent and strong in the works of the Lord. One day, the brother visited the sister and at a time, the lady was serving the brother a soft drink when the brother grabbed her from the back and started hopping at her.

She pleaded with him to stop the foolishness and reminded him of his position as a child of God and as a Coordinators in the fellowship. All her pleads fell on a deaf ears. She struggled to run out of the room, but the guy prevented her. At a point, she thought of a way out.

THE FAST CHRISTIANTY BROUHAHA

Fast Christianity like fast food has its advantages and disadvantages or pros and cons. Originally, the word “fast” is supposed to mean “speed” which is not a bad quality but in this context, it is bad because it is bogus. It is more or less a shortcut and of course short cut will cut you short. You cannot run faster than your legs nor can you put the cart before the horse. Slow and steady is helpful to cooking and Christianity. Usually, processes are vital to the outcome of production and processes take the time or rather processes are timed. For example, in cooking, timing is important. The difference between good and bad food is timing. If you don't time your cooking properly your food will get burnt or half-cooked. But fast food makes a mockery of all these. It is food at the speed of light. In cities and towns fast foods is becoming popular because most of its patrons have little time for homemade food.

HOW TO KNOW YOUR SPOUSE IS REALLY SORRY

A repentant, regretful heart reflects a deep desire to change and accept 100-percent ownership. The occasional misstep means your spouse is moving toward genuine change — remember progress over perfection. Notice the moments you catch them “doing it right” and then, offer them encouragement. However, when blame shifts back toward you, it’s time to pray and consider if a “heart issue” is behind those actionsand words The following list are helpful tool for discerning a repentant heart:- #Repentant people are willing to confess all their sins, not just the sins that got them into trouble. A house isn’t clean until you open every closet and sweep every corner. People who desire to be clean are completely honest about their lives. No more secrets. #Repentant people face the pain their sin caused others. They invite the victims of their sin (anyone hurt by their actions) to express the intensity of emotions that they feel—anger, hurt, sorrow, and disappointment. #Repent...
