When I talk to people about my future or the things that I intend to do, when they respond in support they use the words "your dreams."
I've always been offended by that and wondered where they got the word, "dream" from. When I say things like, "I would have my own Christian movie channels", I am not just saying something I wish would come true. It's not something I dream would happen, it's a destination that my activities each passing day draws me closer to.
If I intend to wake up tomorrow morning and after praying and doing my shores go to the supermarket to buy some groceries, would it be right to say I dream of going to the supermarket tomorrow? Such a thing won't be called a dream. When your child returns from school on Monday, does he have a dream that he would be in school tomorrow or does he know that he would be in school tomorrow?
Dreams give off a feel of something unrealistic - something far but so close - something far way and intangible but very real only within your heart.
It's cool for somebody else to have dreams but as for me, the things that would have been called my dreams I rather call them my real life destinations.
Rather than having dreams and thinking in the perspective of having and trying to achieve your dreams; have goals.
Ok! Let me put it in another way to help you out. You know those dreams you have? Map out on paper a series of actions you would take that would get you from where you are right now to that dream of ours. Then stick to the plan. That is how to take your dreams from the dream world into the real world.
Thanks & God bless.
Alfred Benjamin King.

If you’ve been touched by what you just read and you’ve never given your heart to Jesus before but now want to become a Christian, please say this prayer and mean it with all your heart.
“Oh Lord God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Your word says, ‘… whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Acts 2:21)
So now I ask Jesus to come into my heart to be the lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10: 9, ‘That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved’ , Therefore I declare that I am saved; I am born – again; I am a child of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!”
PRAYER FOR THE RETURNING BACK SLIDER (ONLY):
“Oh lord God, I ask for your mercy and forgiveness for turning my back on you. I come back to you today in total sincerity and like the parable of the prodigal son, I thank you for receiving me back with Joy and Gladness.
I confess that Jesus Christ is the lord of my life and God the father is my Daddy. Hallelujah!”
PRAYER TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT:
“Oh Father, I thank you now for making me born again. For making me your child.
I ask that you give me your Holy Spirit to live in me and with me. For your word says that you would freely give the Holy Spirit to all those who ask. I open my heart and receive, and I know by faith that you have given me your Holy Spirit. Thank you Father. In Jesus name. Amen.”
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW A CHILD OF GOD. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.
