Topic : I have a dream

_Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the Sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me” Genesis 37:9_

Joseph had dreams but his siblings never believed in his dream. His first dream was where his sheaf rose and stood upright while his siblings sheaves gathered around it.This is a dream that made the siblings felt disregard in terms of rulership and this attracted hatred.
He had another dream where the sun, moon and eleven stars bowed to him. This dream created more concern to the parents especially the father which made the siblings to hate him the more. Both dreams had great significance to the family and were very symbolic in line with the believe of the family. No one believed Joseph and his dreams but He believed in himself even as the hatred deepened. He never allowed any discouraging factor to diminish his faith and ambition/visions/dreams. He kept hope alive and trusted God to make the dream a reality.

Do you have a dream? How much is your dream? What are the values of your dreams? Do you believe in your dreams and ambition and what are your plans to achieving your dreams and goals?
Remember Joseph kept hope alive and he believed in his dreams and God.

*Song*
Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
*Refrain* :
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

*Prayer*
Father help me to keep hope alive and trust you for the fulfilment of my dreams and visions in Jesus name Amen.
