To know the summary of the stories of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and the rest of the great people in the bible, you should read Hebrews 11. They call that chapter Faith Chapter. According to that chapter God has placed these people a dream in their hearts and these people have put their faith in Him. It is the same God who placed dreams in each of these great men of God, and the same God who can place a dream inside of you.
Every time that dream inside of you begins to start, there will be challenges, adversity, struggles and people that will tell you to give up. When I first dreamt of going to the US, there are a lot of challenges, to name a few, I was denied several times of a visa, failed some exams, leaving my family behind and people discouraging me not to go to a place that has an economic problem. But the key is to know that you know that God will continue to finish that promise in YOU! It just like this, when everyone around you is telling you to quit and give up, that’s the perfect time that you should start believing, trusting and stepping out of faith! Like the title says, in order to reach your dreams, you need to wake up.Waking up from that slump means, waking up to the promises of God that you can overcome that situation, waking up to that situation that God will take you out of the dark, waking up that God will help you get out of that debt, waking up that God will take you to another country to bless you, waking up that God will help you pass that exam, waking up that God will bless you to be a blessing to others. Always remember that no one else can accomplish that dream God gave you. God planted that dream in you and no one else can do that for you. Through faith and obedience to His word, you can accomplish it, but you have to take action! You have to have faith! And of course wake up!
Now, if you are unsure of that dream, ask Him to give you wisdom to know if that is really for Him. If you are having a hard time, just keep pushing, keep praying, keep believing and keep the faith! That’s what the great men of Hebrew 11 did, they just kept their faith. Or maybe you have been waiting for some time, this is your time to step out and take that leap of faith and wake up to the promises of God!
