LORD, I HAVE NO DREAM, NO VISION, ONLY DESIRE (2)

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8, that was a promise and that is the word you deserve even when you have a dream or a vision. God did not want Joshua to lead the people by dreams or visions, He wanted something different, something proven and trusted and more unique and powerful. He gave him this secret for his success. “Be strong and confident and courageous, for you will give this people as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do everything in accordance with the entire law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper and be successful wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read and meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed or intimidated, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:6-9

The problem most Christians are having today is the desires to live their dreams and vision even when such contravenes the words of God for their lives. God wants us to live by every word He had spoken and not by every dream or vision that we have or will have. The words of God are more powerful than our best dreams and visions and prophetic words; dreams and visions will fail and may remain unfulfilled but none of God’s words will fail or remain unfulfilled.

Joshua was not required to lead the children of Israel through dreams or visions as most of the Christian leaders are doing where God had placed them; he was required to lead them by the word of God. He was not required to be successful by following dreams and visions, but he was required to be successful by following the word of God. He was required to be successful by diligently following the word of God and through meditating therein and following its precepts daily. That is what you need to succeed today as a Christian not dreams and visions. Dreams and vision are good but we have misplaced its place in walking with our God. Dreams and visions are meant to motivate you but your success in life will definitely come through your faithfulness to God and your obedience to His word.

Dreams and visions may sometimes be inflated and deceptive but the words of God will never be deceptive, never inflated and will never destroy your chances of being truly successful. Dreams and visions may be manipulated but the true word of God can never be manipulated. Dreams and visions may depend on your location and profession but the word of God is true in all locations and in all professions. God wants you lead you first by His words, submit yourself to His words and He will lead through the ways you need to go and have the success you desire despite your dreams and vision. “For the word of God is living and active and full of power making it operative, energizing, and effective. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit, the completeness of a person, and of both joints and marrow, the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13. God can still lead you, bless you and make you very successful without a dream or vision ones you are in obedience to His words and follow them with diligence. For prayers Click here
