Romans 8:11, John 11:25, Psalm 37:4
Not everyone achieves and manifests the dreams God has put in their heart.
It's not because some of them don't know the dreams God has put in their hearts, but some where along the line they allowed their dreams to die.
Dreams can die. it's possible for dreams to die.
Dreams can die because:-
1) People die- human beings are the carriers of dreams and when people die, at times their dreams die with them and they have no heir or successor to carry on their dreams. They didn't train anyone or duplicate their dream.
2) People loose focus- focus is needed to achieve or manifest our dreams. One of Satan's strategies is to break people's focus.
If your focus can be broken, your dreams can die. Satan can give people w wrong dream or vision to mislead, mis-direct and break people's focus. Eg. Judas Iscariot
3) People loose motivation for their dreams- rest is needed for dreams to be fulfilled or a person can burn out. Fatigue, tiredness, laziness, restlessness and unwillingness to work on our dreams are evidence of loss of motivation for your dream.
4) People stop dreaming- When we were children we imagined a lot. We believed a lot, we visualized and had our dreams that were possible in our minds.
But we grow up and loose that aspect of possibility thinking we had as children which we need for our lives and dreams as adults.
5) People are overtaken by challenges or storms of life- Matthew 14:28-32
People allow their dreams to sink under the weight of challenges. People look to their challenges and difficulties instead of looking at God's abilities, in the process they give up on their dreams.
That you tried a few times and things didn't work out doesn't mean you should give up. Eg. Moses. Moses never gave up despite Pharaoh's many "no's".
People who fail are people who didn't know how close they were to success before they gave up
Considering all these stumbling blocks on the path to dreams that make dreams die, what can we do to resurrect our dreams?
To resurrect our dreams:-
1) LET THE HOLY SPIRIT RESURRECT YOUR DREAMS- If the Holy Spirit can resurrect the dead He can also resurrect dreams.
Resurrecting a dead human being is harder than resurrecting a dead dream, the Holy Spirit can resurrect and has resurrected dead human beings effortlessly. So He can resurrect your dreams, give Him a chance.
God's Spirit is the one who gives dreams to God's people (Joel 2:28), and He can uncover them when they have been covered. Hebrews 11:19
2) DON'T LISTEN TO DOUBTERS, CRITICS & NEGATIVE PEOPLE- Luke 8:49- 55
Some people have negative mindsets and see everything from an impossible angle.
Doubters, critics, secret enemies, and detractors are many in life. Who you choose to listen to and believe matters in the journey of life.
Don't listen to people who think you can't make it.
3) STAY CONNECTED TO THE 'VINE'- Jesus has all power. Jesus is the vine according to
John 15:5
We are the branches.
You need to stay connected to Jesus so His power will flow through you to help you fulfill your dreams.
Jesus fulfilled His dream, let Him help you fulfill yours.
4) RECEIVE INSPIRATION FROM THE BIBLE- the Bible stories can inspire you on the path to your dream. The Bible is full of stories of men who walked in God's best for their lives and achieved dreams, they are called "cloud of witnesses" and we can draw inspiration from their stories, learn from their mistakes and apply what they did right. Hebrews 12:1
