RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

KEEP YOUR DREAMS ALIVE.

-Pastor Chris

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to
give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).

Many young people today are in crime and in all kinds of vices because they’ve given up on their dreams
—the dream of youth, and of a triumphant personality. Some have laid aside their best potentials and
resigned to self-defeat, instead of being inspired to birth new inventions
and create a more functional world. How sad!
A young person who degenerates to crime and violence lacks understanding, and destroys his or her life.
God made us in His image and His likeness. “In His image” means He made us to look like Him, while
“in His likeness” means He made us to function or act like Him. If you aren’t functioning like Him, you’re
malfunctioning, and that’s not God’s dream for you. He has a great future planned for you.
What kind of life do you want to live? Hold on to your dream of success! When the fears and pressures
of youth besiege you, don’t give up; don’t cave in. Rather, look inside you and ask yourself, “Why am I
here if God had no plans for me? If He wanted me poor, why all the wealth of this world?” God is your
Father, and He says, “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine...” (Haggai 2:8). He also says, “For every
beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10.) Why all these, if not for
you?
Understand that there’s something more for you. Don’t stop where you are; stay inspired and keep your
dreams alive. Study God’s Word: it’s your compass to help you with God’s direction for your life. Stay in
fellowship with the Holy Spirit and fellow Christians who love the Lord, and keep your dreams alive.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for the hope I have in you. I can confidently dream for tomorrow because I know
my tomorrow is history with you. I refuse to give fear any place in my life because I know I’m founded on
the Rock of Ages, for success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy
word.
*John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me

Faith it!
Your gates shall stay wide open to receive the wealth of nations, the kings of nations will cater for
you, they will bring their wealth to your feet to satisfy your every need, the Lord shall glorify you in the
eyes of all, you shall have a double portion of prosperity and everlasting joy, you will flourish on every
side. All that you have lost is restored back in a hundred fold to you.
The Lord will confer on you a new name, He will keep you in perfect peace, enlarge your coast, cause you
to triumph...
