This past week, I had what many refer to as an epiphany or as some fondly call it,
an" Aha Moment". I know it may seem pretty obvious and glaring but have you really considered it.
You know how Growing up , many of us had dreams , even now, some of us have new dreams and we picture it so much that its basically all we see. We have aspirations, we picture ourselves doing certain things but that's where it stops.The truth is if we sit back and wish all we want , it will not happen. It is like believing that God will make your dream come to pass he will make you great but yet you sit at home all day and do nothing about it. Some of us are physically moving but are sitting on the inside. " Show me your faith apart from your works and I will show you my faith by my works" james 2:18.Basically what are we doing that shows we believe that dream will come to pass ;What Plans and Preparations are we making ? What steps Are we taking ?
A man could wish to be a pilot all he wants but if he doesn't take the necessary steps that need to be taken to achieve it, it will only be a dream.
I saw an illustration on television about this which stuck forever. A preacher had a jacket in his hands, holding the jacket in the air, he said imagine the suit is faith however without works "the suit dropping to the floor" is dead.It is not enough to just believe that I will change the world yet you sit all day on the couch or you are not doing anything in regards to it.
The Bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes that " A dream comes around through much activity" .Ecc5 :13 We need to take steps or work towards actualizing that dream. Take for instance a little kid who dreams about being a Neuro surgeon someday. No matter how fantastic the dream is , if he does not go to medical school and take the necessary professional exams. It will remain a dream. Things don't just happen . Where do you see yourself? what goals are being set towards achieving it? The Output we will get is as a result of the input we put in and God's Grace. Which is able to take us beyond what we could ever imagine or think of.
I love the story of The spider man lead actress Emma Stone. She had a dream to be an actress as a child but her parents lived outside L A .Rather than ponder and wish all day about it, she made a power point presentation for her parents convincing them to make the move to L A in order to pursue her dream and the rest is history.
The message here is ,nothing happens unless we move,. Our dream may not be as far off as we think. The Question is what are we doing about that dream?
