“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth”
Exodus 9:16
The poorest person in the world is the person without a dream.
The most frustrated person in the world is the person with a dream
that never becomes reality. I am certain that every individual on this
planet—no matter which race, culture, nationality or socio-economic
status—has had a dream of some sort. The ability of children to
dream is a natural instinct instilled by the Creator. No matter how
poor or rich we are, whether we were born in the bush village of an
underdeveloped nation or amid the marble floors of the aristocracy
of society, we all have childhood dreams. These dreams are visual
manifestations of our purpose, seeds of destiny planted in the soil of
our imagination. I am convinced that God created and gave us the
gift of imagination to provide us with a glimpse of our purpose in
life and to activate the hidden ability within each of us. Purpose is
the reason why something was made. It is the end for which the
means exists. It is the source of the dream and the vision you carried
in your heart from childhood. It is the key to your fulfillment.
In Exodus 9, we see Pharaoh, one of earth’s most powerful
rulers, was in spiritual poverty because he lacked God’s dream. Yet,
even Pharaoh was raised up for God’s purposes. How much more are
we a part of God’s plan and Kingdom purpose? We just need to
dream a little.
