The Power of A Dream

Tony wakes up suddenly, sweating profusely, his heart thumping away violently in his thoracic cavity, his pupils dilated, he reaches for the lamp, its just 3:30am he blurts. His wife complains, "whats wrong darling"? I had a nightmare, he says. Oh, its only a dream dear, lets go back to sleep. I am sure you have once experienced something similar to what Tony experienced.

The dream I am talking about isn't those we see when we sleep but those we make when fully awake. (of course I don't mean day dreaming). Dreams arise as a result of activities taking place in our subconscious minds. The workings of the subconscious mind is very complex and processes billions of information sent to it via the sense gates (i.e the eye, ear, nose, tongue, and skin). These activities usually  are what result into the dreams we see when we sleep.

However, we are talking about a dream created, crafted and designed by you which is able to sail you from where you are right now to where God wants you to be. God's desire for us is to be prosperous. The Hebrew word translated as prosperous "Tsalach Tsaleach" means to push  forward. We are expected to push forward in our business, academics, marriages and so on. God said, "I know the thoughts I have towards you, thought of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end". Having an idea of what is ahead gives us energy to continue pushing forward.

God will likely not appear to you and tell you what to do, he has already done his own part of the deal, the bible says " he has given us all things that pertains to life and godliness". This means you have all the raw materials needed to build yourself a great and impartful life here on earth. That is success. you cannot begin to achieve success except to begin to achieve one internally. This internal success begins with creating a dream by and for yourself. If you don't design your own dream, you will likely end up working yourself in someone's own dream.
