NO ONE IS HERE WITHOUT A DREAM (Sunday, 12th October 2025)
Text for Today: 1 Sam. 16:31-47 “Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” (vs. 37).
No one is born here on earth without a dream ordained by God to fulfill. Many people spend a lifetime chasing after dreams, only to find emptiness in its accomplishment. Others never quite make it to their dreams and resign themselves to failure. Dream chasing is only relevant if it’s rooted in God’s calling on your life. When God sparks a dream in your heart, you won’t be able to let it go, you will chase it until God’s purpose has been fulfilled. Let us consider some Biblical principles to chase our dreams from the life of David. (1) GOD CHOOSES YOU FOR THIS DREAM.
1 Thess. 1:4 “For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you”. David was minding his own business with the sheep out in the field and before he knew it, he was chosen to become the next king of Israel. David was immediately filled with the Spirit of God with great power. Before this significant event, David was oblivious to God’s dream for him. We, too, can be awakened to a greater purpose for our lives when God chooses us. (1 Samuel 16:12-13). (2) GOD SUPERNATURALLY GIFTS YOU WITH WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE DREAM. Prov. 18:16 “A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.” Not only did David kill a lion and a bear with his own hands, but he also took down a great warrior with a sling and a stone. Instantly he became a famous celebrity in Israel leading a thousand men in battle and marrying the king’s daughter. (1 Samuel 16:18, 17:34-37; 18).
You are a Champion!
