(Third part)
Memory verse (Isaiah 66:9) “ Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery? says the LORD ”.
There is a time of conception and a time of birthing. In between these two great events, is a process of incubation. Every dream needs proper incubation to mature before it is birthed. When a mother is pregnant, that developing child inside has to spend 9 months inside the womb. That is the proper time ordained by God for the human being to be ready to be born.
Do you have a dream from God in your heart? Your dream need to be fed or it will die or miscarriage. When God began to give me dreams about the nation of Burundi I was a minister in another ministry in Rwanda. I was the assistant to the senior pastor. All my life was that church. God one day spoke to me that I have to feed the new dream that he had put in my heart or else it would die. God wanted me to begin focusing on the dream he had given me while serving in that ministry. I began to pray about it, I spent some time in fasting for it to be clear, I started meditating on it and as I did, it grew. The burden for the nation of Burundi became bigger and bigger. Then I began to think about the transition, I shared with my pastor after 5 months of carrying this new pregnancy, after about 8 months I went into the nation of Burundi for the first time just to have a feeling of it. By this time all my life was consumed by the burden for the nation. I would dream about it in the night, it would fill my prayer, I had the message from God for it, not once I would pray for it in tears and finally I was released by my pastor in Rwanda and after few months a new child was born, i.e. the ministry God had put in my spirit about Burundi. My dear ones, please get a dream from God that will make your worthwhile and that will make you significant in your generation. Feed your dream, don’t allow it to die of starvation. Feed your dreams with God’s word and prayer. Go to a good spiritual church that will feed the dream in your spirit properly, spend time with people that speak words that feed your dream not those whose words kill faith and dreams. A dreamless life is a worthless, powerless, purposeless, fruitless and miserable life a person can ever live. Get a dream. If you have one, man, don’t drop your dream, protect it, feed it, and love it. Don’t abort it for whatever reason and don’t allow miscarriage. Never allow the devil to steal it from you. Amen.
