Dream big to trigger miracles in your life

- ARCHBISHOP STEPHEN ZONDO

SOME people consider mere survival a success.

Their goal is to get through the day. Most people never taste the surging, powerful and revolution­ary spirit life.

They remind me of the singer drawing his last breath in life. One day at a time, sweet Jesus! That’s all I’m asking you for.” Sadly, that is the condition of millions today.

• Common people set uncommon goals.

• Uncommon achievers set uncommon goals.

• This cancer of indifferen­ce is contagious.

It will destroy every ounce of passion surging through your veins. Maybe this has happened to you. There is nothing big you are trying to do any more with your life.

You are not trying to feed the hungry, you are not taking children to school, nothing is forcing you away from your present situation. You have adapted to the common life

while the uncommon achiever within is screaming for attention.

Oh my friend, listen to me today if this is happening to you, run for your life.

Get a future so big that today looks tiny.”

You see, when God gives you a dream, it will be bigger than your present paycheck. It will require a miracle. If your dream doesn’t require God, it is not really a Godgiven dream. If God gets involved with your dream, He becomes the only means to achieve it.

You are commanded to become more. More is expected of you. Read the unforgetta­ble story of the wicked and slothful servant that Jesus discussed in Matthew 25. When he refused to use his talents and gifts , a curse came upon him because he did not multiply Take therefore the talent from him”( Matthew 25:28). He was punished harshly.

And cast ye away the unprofitab­le servant in the outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).

Listen to the incredible first chapter of the Holy ancient writings, And God Blessed them , and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.”(Genesis 1: 28).

When I talk to you about financial harvest, I am seeing something bigger than going out to eat at a restaurant twice a week.

I am talking about the supernatur­al abundant life…. I am talking about living at the center of your faith, not the edges.

That s what a financial harvets is all about. Not merely being blessed, but becoming an instrument of blessing to the hurt around you.

Financial harvest is much bigger than simply being able to write out a check for your car payment on time. It’s much more powerful than being able to order an extra packet of chips for your children at McDonald’s.

God is looking for golden connection­s on earth.

He wants someone willing to use their faith for supernatur­al events on this planet.

Get a dream big enough to require the supernatur­al interventi­on of God.

Get a dream big enough to require every ounce of faith present in your system.

If you fail to birth the dream God has planted in you like a seed, you will become angry and bitter.

You will lash out at others who are taking giant steps in a small world. You will start talking like a victim instead of a victor.

Faith is confidence in God. It requires an instructio­n. Faith is activated by needs.

When you really do not have a great need in your life that is a dangerous season.

You will be tempted to live life without knowing God. When you fail to reach for God, you will be cut off from all the supply, the source.

Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6)

Always remember this: the day that you say: I have enough” the extra wave of blessing goes elsewhere to someone who is standing with arms outstretch­ed towards heaven shouting: I am expecting a supernatur­al wave of blessing.”

That s one of the reasons

' 9 &

thousands are not receiving a significan­t and supernatur­al financial harvest in their daily lives.

Double the dream you have been nurturing and your financial harvest will double!

Stop telling God how big your problem is. Rather tell your problem how big your God is.
