How will I start???Will anyone believe in me??Do I have what it take’s ?? Many questions spiral our mind, when God commands us to do a particular assignment, which is beyond us. As per your environment, nothing suggests you can actually do it nor make it. God is after our hearts, to believe what He says and obey what He instructs us do. Whenever God gives you an instruction, He knows very well you have what it takes to accomplish it. Most people will not agree with it, some will brush it off when you tell them and in one way or another; your current circumstances will reflect you can’t pursue it. You settle for the comfort zone because you don’t want to face criticism, rejection, disappointments and to crown it all, your life ends up being ordinary with no benefit of a promised reward.
On this post, I came to challenge all my readers to pursue what God has deposited within you. You might start small but honey!!! God is after your obedience and your trust in Him that He will accomplish what He promised you. All great generals in the bible from Abraham (Genesis 12)our father of Faith , Joseph (Genesis 37) the dreamer defied the odds of rejection and betrayal, to Joshua (Numbers 13) who was bold enough to speak faith despite of what other spies had said, in regards to the promised land. None of these generals had it easy; they had to step out in faith on what God instructed them to do, in order to get their promised reward.
It’s sad to say most of us have tried to pursue our God given dreams but given up along the way. We made a choice to quit due to fear, discouragements, rejection, wrong mindsets, wrong relationships and to crown it all ,we focused on the wrong things instead of sharpening our focus on God. But who said it will be easy??? From the New Testament to the Old Testament, all people that God used in accomplishing His purpose, never had it easy. They relied on God whole heartedly despite the challenges they faced. If God gave you a dream and you have probably given up on it, just take it back up again and run with it. The worst thing in life, is to miss your mark and fail to be who you were created to be.
You have to make a deliberate choice to be a risk taker – willing to do anything because God has partnered with you.. With God time is not a factor ,He can change 7 years of foolishness in one day. Yes you heard me right “in one Day”. When you step into God’s mandate, everything works as per His perfect will over your life. Destiny always involves benefiting others, it’s never about you alone. It’s not the time to wait, wish, look for a dream. It’s time to take hold of your dream, for your dream to become substance in your life and the generations after you. You can’t be having wishful thoughts, yet there are no actions supporting what you are supposed to do. Faith without works is dead James 2:26-For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
One precious gift we all possess is the gift of life and there are no rehearsals to it. One thing for sure is, am not where I used to be and am pursing my God given dream, with full assurance the Holy spirit is my dream partner. Following God’s instructions over my life has not been easy but trust me, it’s worth it. Don’t settle for less of what God has promised you. Most people want automatic results, we don’t really appreciate the incubation period,NO wonder we end up giving up along the way. The incubation period is when God is working on our character, attitudes or mindsets which might take some time but God is not an inactive God. In the book of Nehemiah 1&2,Nehemiah had many obstacles, but he did not give up hope on what God had told him He would accomplish. He used the incubation period, to prepare himself for what God wanted him to do. Even if your dream has been delayed, it’s not yet over. In one of my previous posts I have blogged about Restructuring process which reflects on how God works on us.
Partner with God in weeding out weeds like questionable character, nasty attitudes, corrupted mindset ,fear, low-self-esteem, people bondage or procrastination. ,which are sabotaging you from pursuing your God given dream. Take this from me:-without hope for the future, you will end up going back to the past and trust me Moab has nothing new to offer
We serve such a faithful God; there is nothing that God will ever tell you to do without a purpose and a promised reward. Today, after more than two thousand years ago, we are enjoying the full promise of salvation that Jesus obtained on our behalf from His Father. We have access to the father through Jesus Christ, who is our mediator and have hope of an eternal life . John 3:16 -For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Obeying God’s instructions you need to:-
-Keep your focus on what matters.
-Help other people into their dreams.
-Forgive those who hurt you in the past.
-Deal with your discouragement. Do not let loss be your boss
-Be vigilant with people who do not have a VISION. These people stumble in life with their plans, purposes and goals. What you need is people of purpose.
-Deal with the weeds in your life from questionable character, nasty attitudes, corrupted mindset ,fear to low-self-esteem
-Be cautious of people with little vision. They have a dream but they want you to do their dream.
-Celebrate other people victories
-Be watchful of people with a tainted/corrupted vision. They have no identity, no plans, no goals or purpose.
Mirror on God’s word today and stay hopeful in Following God’s Instructions:-

When you step out in faith, God’s anointing qualifies you to do what He called you to do. Don’t allow your promised Reward to slip through.
