TIME – THE UMPIRE OF DREAMS

If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come – Job 14:14

“All through the ages, believer-worshippers have always been visionaries or dreamers: men and women who dared the impossible and succeeded; men who rose not just to prominence and fame, but who served their generation with distinction and excellence. They are my example of true living.

o Abraham gave us the covenant of the Almighty God with all its benefits.
o King David taught us how to praise God in the song and with excellent instrumentation.
o Daniel contributed visions and dreams to help us keep track of God’s calendar.
o All the heroes of our faith left a legacy of what faith will do with God-given hopes, visions, or dreams.

By now you have embraced a dream. It thrills your heart. It is so real to you, that you can almost touch it. You dream of being a GIVER in the Kingdom. The possibility so thrills you, you are about to sign the first cheque of a million dollars for a preacher-teacher of the word. The only problem is that you are presently in debt. You are so gripped with a desire to preach the Word, you can see a stadium filled with multiplied thousands waiting to listen to you. The only problem is that you are presently a children’s teacher in your local church.

All these examples show us that IT WILL TAKE TIME. The fulfilment of your God-given goals will take time. TIME is the UMPIRE that will determine if your dream was God’s or yours. Time will act as an encourager or a terminator. How time will work for you depends on your attitude to God and His use of time. Time is God’s servant. Impatient people will open the door for time to act as an abortionist or a dream-predator, while patient people will use time to their fullest advantage.”
