OPEN HEAVENS PRAYER For 20TH FEBRUARY 2023

OPEN HEAVENS PRAYERS | DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 20TH 2023 | THEME: DREAMS AND FAITH

MEMORISE:
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 4:13

READ: Hebrews 11:8-10
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

MESSAGE:
Children of God can have great dreams and be confident they will come to pass because their Heavenly Father is the Alpha and Omega (Revelations 1:8). Children of God who put all their faith in Him can rest assured that God can bring their dreams – no matter how great – to pass because He is the only one that declare the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9-10).

No matter how great your dreams may be, God can bring them to pass if you have faith in Him. God himself said in Habakkuk 2:4 that the just shall live by faith.

2 Thessalonians 1:3 tells us that faith can grow. Since your faith is a significant ingredient in the manifestation of your dreams, you must feed and grow it by listening to, studying, meditating and praying the word of God diligently.

In Mark 4:35-41, the Lord asked the disciples why they had no faith, but in Matthew 6:30, the Lord said to them “O ye of little faith”, meaning that they now had faith, though little. Your faith can even grow further to become great faith (Matthew 15:21-28). Your future can actually be far better than your dreams; all you have to work on is your faith. Beloved, your faith must grow. When you hear me talking about my aspirations and dreams, l am only saying such great things because of how much faith l have in my God who is almighty.

Before l was born again – when l had no faith, my greatest ambition was to be a Vice-Chancellor – the youngest Vice-Chancellor in Africa. By the time l got to know Jesus and surrendered my life to Him, l began to understand that my natural mind could not even imagine how far He could take me. Now, l have learnt to dream big because l have a God who can do truly great and mighty things.

God rewards those who have faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6), so dream big and have faith in God that He will bring all your dreams to pass.

KEY POINT:
Grow your faith and dream bigger.
