MEMORIZE: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22)
READ: James 1:22-25
Whenever you receive any negative dream, make conscious effort to avert or change it through humility, repentance, restitution, prayer and fasting. If it is not a fixed dream which is just for your information only, it will change. While king Ahab prevented God’s verdict on his wickedness, his Babylonian counterpart - king Nebuchadnezzar could not. When the dream to warn this great king was not taken seriously, it came to fulfillment in the exact form.
Any undesirable dream you fail to change, will end up changing you. Any unpleasant dream you cannot stop will terminate your joy, comfort and peace. Many people get warnings through dreams but still do nothing about it. Words of knowledge are given at meetings during sermons to warn believers yet, they fall on deaf ears. If you hear but find it difficult to obey God’s Word, something may be wrong with your ears.
Today’s reading talks about ‘Forgetful hearers’. Some hear only to forget. Forgetful hearers never take any warning to heart. Nothing hits them. They waive off the danger signal with a hand and simply say, “I reject that. It will not happen to me. I return it back to sender”. And it ends there. Because no solid effort followed, they become victims of their unpleasant dreams.
God can be very merciful - even to sinners. God gave king Nebuchadnezzar 12 months to follow Daniel’s advice and prevent the impending doom. He had ample time but his ears were dull of hearing. What he heard made no meaning to him. Do you know that most unpleasant events believers go through could have been avoided? The famine, sorrow, pain, disgrace, demotion, barrenness, regret, etc. that some Christians are going through presently could have been prevented.
They heard the warning. They had time, but like king Nebuchadnezzar, they failed to do something about it. There is a user of this Devotional whom the Lord had twice warned in dreams of an impending judgment. You have done nothing about it thinking nothing will happen to you. If you do not immediately repent, amend your ways and seek God’s face to avert it, it will be fulfilled within seven days. You have been warned! God’s Word is meant to be promptly obeyed or disaster could be the next thing you see (Prov. 29:1) what is your attitude to God’s warnings?
ACTION POINT:
List out the dreams where God warned you concerning certain issues. Immediately embark on seeking His face to reverse them. |
