7 Facts about a God-given Dream

Thought to send you a quick checklist that you can use to determine whether your dream is God-given or not.

1. A God-given dream must be born, not borrowed
It cannot come from another person; it must come from God, otherwise it cannot be said to be God-given. A God-given dream is something that comes to you supernaturally. You might have asked God for it or expected it but you will have no idea what it is until God gives it to you.

2. A God-given dream must overwhelm you
Wow! That should be your reaction each time you think about it. Your dream must be bigger than you. You should ask yourself where on earth did you get such a dream. At the end of the day, you should come to the conclusion that the dream that you have and want to pursue can only be from God.

3. A God-given dream must outlast you
God is a trans-generational God. He wants to bless you and the generations that will come after you. One way He can do that is by giving you a dream that will live on long after you die. Its fruit will be a blessing to you and the generations that will come after you.

4. A God-given dream will be misunderstood by those close to you
If your dream will overwhelm you, what do you think will be the reaction ofs those close to you when you share it with them? Of course it depends on the kind of person that they know you to be, but no doubt they will most likely interpret your dream wrongly. They will think that your dream means something that it is not. For example, being called into full-time ministry has always been misinterpreted to mean being condemned to poverty fo the rest of one’s life.

5. A God-given dream will attract the things that you need
When God gives you a dream He also ensures that you have access to everything that you need to pursue that dream until it is accomplished. Everything means all the resources, skills and people that you need in order to pursue your dream. Whats more appaling is that all these things will come to you at the very time that you need them.

6. A God-given dream will require total focus
Total focus means commiting oneself fully to the dream. Your dream becomes you number on priority and everything that you do ensures that your dream stays alive.

7. A God-given dream will enable you to make a difference
The world is looking for someone who will make a difference in their lives. Our every effort to do this out of our own cleverness may bring about something but the effectiveness of having a God-given dream is unparalled.
