TOPIC: VACUUM YOUR DREAMS
BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 37:1-11
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

Someone said, “If your dream turns to dust, vacuum it. ” That means – PICK UP THE DUST PARTICLES and START AGAIN! In other words, don’t let anything drive you to neglect your dreams. Even if people that used to believe in those dreams suddenly change and begin to tell you that it’s impossible, don’t give up. This is especially true if this dream is a God-given dream. God never gives people dreams and desires that He does not fulfil. What do you do, when your expectations are dashed? What do you do when someone that you’ve been looking up to as a help and support suddenly deserts you? What do you do when the greatest dreams of your heart suddenly vanish and all hope of ever living in the reality of those dreams is stolen? The answer is: DREAM AGAIN! From childhood, God planted a dream in the heart of Joseph that he would be a great leader and a model to His people. He held tight to this dream. Everywhere he went, he spoke about it. Because of his unusual dream, his brothers became his enemies. However, he didn’t let go of his dreams. They sold him into slavery, and when he entered into Potiphar’s house, he offered his best. His diligence and faithfulness showed that he still believed in his dreams. He was not hurt or disappointed in God. Soon, the devil attacked his dream again using Potiphar’s wife. He was thrown into prison. However, he didn’t let his dreams become imprisoned. He rose to the top and became a favourite among all the prisoners. It’s usually very easy to dream big and expect the best when things are going on well; but when things go wrong, what do you do? Always remember this DAILY: “MOST TIMES, YOUR ANSWER TO THAT PRAYER COMES FROM THE FIRE AND TRIALS OF LIFE.” THAT IS WHY YOU MUST never quit! Delay is not a denial because God is not a man, that He should lie, neither is He the son of man, that He should repent (Numbers 23: 19). Reject depression! Make the rest of your life the BEST of your life! Laugh often and trust Him! Never, ever, give up! I see your dreams shaking this world if you don’t quit! Amen! ODM Devotional 27 July 2021
