TAKE STEPS TOWARDS YOUR DREAM
Read: Habakkuk 2:2-4
Meditation verse:
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will. Not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3).
Semah G Weifur is a Liberian born blind singer who was discovered by the Nigerian artiste Flavour. Semah was born blind and into poverty. He was in care of a Monrovia based NGO: ‘Christian association of the Blind (CAB) for years. Despite his blindness and poverty, his dream was to become a gospel singer. He began to sing within the confines of his reality. And then Flavour visited Monrovia and discovered him through a Liberian singer. He was greatly impressed by Weifur’s vocals and decided to make his dream a reality. Flavour had never done a gospel music. But as he released his 5th album, it included “Most High”, a gospel duet featuring Semah Weifur as the last track. “Most High” turned Weifur into a star. If he hadn’t taken steps towards his dream, he would never have been discovered by Flavour.
What steps do you need to take every day towards the dream that God has put in your heart? Are you taking those necessary steps or are you waiting till the conditions are very favourable or until you have it all figured out? Conditions will never be perfect. Ecclesiastes 11:4 says, “he who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap”. God gives us just enough light for each step we need to take. No matter how dim the light in front of you is, use it and take the steps you need to take. Keep moving and in the fullness of time, the dream will speak.
There are also different sets of people that God has destined to make their contribution in your life towards fulfilling your dream and they will contribute to its actualization in several ways. They may help you finetune your vision through constructive criticism, offer encouragement and morale support to get you started, connect you to the right people, open doors of opportunities, create platforms for you, support with the required funds, support with their skills or partner with you by forming collaborations and partnerships. But they may never show up in your life, until you get moving.
IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
