What’s Your Dream? (1)
June 9, 2010
‘...He dreamed still another dream...’ Genesis 37:9 NKJV
When it comes to dreams, Joseph teaches us two important principles: (1) Keep your dream alive! The story’s told of a couple who loved mushrooms and bought several pounds of them from a roadside vendor. They made mushroom omelettes, mushroom salad, mushroom soup, and even concocted a mushroom dessert. Their cat gobbled up the leftover mushrooms. Later the lady went into her kitchen and found the cat lying on the floor, gasping for breath. She immediately phoned the vet who said they’d probably gotten some poisoned toadstools and advised they go to the hospital. After having their stomachs pumped the couple came home expecting to see their cat lying lifeless on the floor. Instead the cat was in the corner with a brand new litter of kittens. What they thought were death pains were just birth pains! When it seems that your dream is gasping its last breath, keep believing God; you’re closer to giving birth than you’ve ever been. (2) Dream again, only bigger! Joseph dreamed a second dream, an even bigger one! ‘…This time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me…’ (Genesis 37:9 NKJV) If you’ve abandoned your dream because of discouragement, rise up and reclaim it. If you’ve already fulfilled it, ask God for a bigger one. You say, ‘But the challenge looks too big for me.’ It’s not too big for God, you’ll never out-dream Him. In His Word He asks, ‘Is anything too hard for the Lord?…’ (Genesis 18:14 NKJV) You may die with your dream on the drawing board or under construction or left to be completed by another, but you must seek God and dream again!
