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.
