Messages for August 2016: Our Month of Dreams and Visions
Message for Sunday the 14th of August 2016
Theme: Understanding Dream and Visions in relation to God’s plan – Joel 2:28; Jer.29:11; Acts 2:16-17; Acts 10; Matthew 1:18-25; Lk.1; Jn.5:39; Matt.4:10 & Rev.19:10
Topic: The Nature of Dreams and visions
Introduction: Last week, we established that Dreams and visions are the means by which God communicates His plans and purpose for us in His master plan. Today, we shall continue this series by looking at the nature of dreams and vision. This understanding will enable us identify dreams and visions from God as soon as we encounter them.
The nature of a thing is the essential qualities and attributes that make it what it is. For instance fire must burn because it is its nature to burn. In the same way, the following observations can be made about dreams and visions:
God ordained visions and dreams aim mainly at bearing fruit for God because this is the main purpose of man. Gen.1:26; Jn.15:2, 8 and16 and Rom.7:4
They place you above the devil and his cohorts because it confers divine authority on you to dominate your enemies – Ex.7:1; Eph.2:6; Ps.66:3 and 1Jn.4:4
They would always overcome the world. see 1Jn.5:4 and 2Cor.2:14
They place a demand of Godliness and contentment on you – 1Tim.6:10 and Titus 2:11-12.
They enable you to constantly overcome carnality. When you embrace visions and dreams from God, they help you walk in the Spirit always which is the main antidote to carnality – Gal.5:16
They glorify God – We bring glory to God by bearing much fruit and the trigger for fruit bearing are visions and dreams. When God gives dreams and visions, it is because he desires for the dreamer to bear much fruit to glorify Him. See Jn.15:8 and Dan.2:46-47 – the fruit Daniel bore here was the solution he provided the king in telling him his dream and interpretation and the result was that the king glorified God.
Their central theme is usually to win others to the Lord. This is the reason the Lord Jesus Christ came down from heaven to die for our sins so we could regain the lost kingdom of God from Satan to serve the living God in spirit and in truth. Jn.3:16; Matthew 28:18-18 and Acts 16:17-21.
They help to fulfill divine purpose – Heb.10:5-7; 1Jn.3:8 and 1Cor.15:3-8.
They protect us from untimely death arising from self-destruction or any other means. See Job 33:14-18; Mt.2: 13-21 and Dan.2:17-19.
We shall stop here for today. Next week, we shall continue in this series looking at the place of dreams and visions in destiny. Meanwhile, no one can actually enter into their place of destiny without an initiation into the family of God through the new birth experience. Should you wish to do so, please say the following prayer out loud and God shall put you in His family at once and you can start to enjoy the benefit of divine revelation taking you from where you are to where you ought to be:
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
