And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP) Have you ever known someone who was the teacher’s favourite? They had preferential treatment with the teacher, right? Well, you have God’s favour as a believer, so you have preferential treatment with God! It’s not that God loves you more than anyone else on this planet, but there are great benefits to being His kid. When Moses led the Israelites out of slavery, they experienced this favour. God had prepared a …

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]. Ephesians 3:20 (AMP) When you talk about your vision for the future, you may describe career goals. While this is great, a successful career can’t be your only dream or you’ll sacrifice everything else to get it. You need a dream for every area of life. In fact, every one of God’s promises for you as a believer provides the basis for something you can dream about. For example, you are promised health, so do you have …

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 (NKJV) Do you know what limits you from achieving your dreams more than anything? It’s your beliefs. Your beliefs either help or hinder your dreams. To develop beliefs that empower your dreams, you need to base them on the truth. Jesus said that He is the “way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6, NIV). In other words, when you base your beliefs on Jesus’ teachings and His Word, those beliefs empower you to achieve the dreams God has placed in your heart. Jesus also said, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32, NKJV). Knowing this truth makes you free to do …

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13 (NKJV) When God made you, He formed your inward parts, and this inward creation doesn’t just include physical structures such as bones, ligaments and organs. God also hand-crafted you with natural tendencies, gifts and desires. You may be aware of some of the gifts and desires He’s given you, but there are a lot more you haven’t yet discovered. Some are time-released at certain phases in your life. For example, not many boys who are eight or nine years old have a desire to get married, but if you give them a few years, things change! The fact is that you will be discovering new dreams, gifts and desires throughout …

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people…your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:17 (NIV) If you’ve gone through some difficult times in life and you have given up on your dream, Holy Spirit wants to help you dream again. He wants to lead you to fulfil your God-given dreams! In Acts 2, just following the moment when Holy Spirit made His entrance into believer’s hearts for the first time, Peter stood up in front of a crowd to preach. He quoted an Old Testament prophesy from Joel, and it’s interesting that it specifically mentioned the older generation when it comes to dreaming dreams. Sometimes in life, the more heartache and hurt we’ve been through, the more …
