DREAMS
Genesis
41:1-8
Devotional:- “Now it
came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and
called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told
them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh” (V.8) NKJV
There is hardly a
man, who does not dream. A dream is quite different from a vision, though vision
could be communicated through dreams. Dreams have become a way by which the
devil has tormented many people. Such people experience bad dreams and they
become afraid and troubled. We could see the same thing happening in the
scripture we read today.
As children of God,
our dreams are not supposed to trouble us. As we observe in the scripture,
there are three major sources by which dreams come to us. Some are from God to
communicate His counsel to us. An example is the one we read today. Anytime
such comes your way, pray to the Holy Spirit to explain them to you and He
will. Another source comes from many activities. That is, the thought we fill
our mind with (Ecclesiastes 5:3). If you are thinking about someone, you could
easily dream about him or her.
The third source is
from the devil. This is the one that always terrifies people and lures them
into confusion. Anytime you find yourself in any dream you don’t like, wake up
and erase it in the name of Jesus. Don’t be bound by any bad dream. They are
like the negative of a photograph, if you don’t develop them, they will not
become real. You bring it to life by meditating on it repeatedly. When the
dream is confusing, erase it by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 9:22)
Don’t allow dreams
to determine your thoughts. If not, they will come to pass. The moment you
cancel it, it is cancelled (Isaiah 54:17). You need to grow strong to be able
to guide your heart against negative thoughts (Proverbs 4:23). Throw the
thought to the waste bin and live by faith. Let the word of God become the
standard of your faith and thought (Philippians 4:8). Don’t give in to the
deceit of the devil. Your God is not the author of confusion. You are created
for glory and that is what will manifest in your life in Jesus name.
PRAYER: LORD,
STRENGTHEN ME TO ALWAYS OVERCOME BAD DREAMS.
“BAD DREAMS
ARE BAD SIGNAL, ERASE IT”
