Dream - Purpose - LIFE
Hey... it's be a while since I jot down something.. recently, there are too many happenings around my life but I thank God for every bit of it. But one thing I really thank God is, He is my Inspiration. Back early March, I wrote a song named, J.E.S.U.S... and now, end of April, I wrote another song named, Lift Up Your Hands.
I don't know how to express my feelings but God truly make me awe in His presence. Never have I ever thought I would write or to say, compose a song. But now not just "a" song, but two songs already. I can see how God is using my life and bringing me into seeing His BIG picture.
I think it was yesterday that I tweeted about this. "The game of life is one big struggle. We got to hustle just to make it everyday and to find ourselves a way. To fight the fears we facing and grab those dreams we chasing because there ain't no competition when we rise to the occasion, come on!". Think about this, Deogracias might not be one big thing but it is a passion that we dream about and this dream will not be just about dreaming, this goes big. Because behind, in front, next to us, we have the Big G.O.D. Yes, we have God.
And it always starts with a dream. I love dreaming, whether day-dreaming or night-dreaming, I just love dreaming. Because it is there when you dream the impossible. And while you're dreaming the impossible, at the same time, somewhere in the world, God is turning that impossible dream to possible! Soon you'll realise that possible just arrive at your doorstep. God is way greater than what you think He is. He could use a somebody, turn him/her into a nobody and use him/her to show how great God can use a nobody to be a somebody! Think about it.
Think about Joesph, the dreamer in the Bible. He was the favourite son among his brothers. He was somebody. But his brother hated him and sold him to slavery. He was nobody. But Joseph was given a gift. A gift of dreams. And with that gift, God brought him into a path which made him the most powerful man in Egypt after the Pharaoh. God was watching over Joseph and kept him safe. (Read the book of Genesis for the full story)
Sometimes when you have a dream, but things happen and your dream shattered or your gave up on it. Maybe you have people that pick on you or discourage you. Or maybe nobody not even your family or friends supported your dream. But you need to know this, God wants you to know that He is always with you. He gave you that dream. You take that dream, take a step of faith, and go with God. He will turn the impossible to be possible. No matter what you are facing, if God is with you, when you pray to Him, He will listen to your prayers.

Dare to dream and live on for a purpose. If you don't have a purpose worth dying for, you have nothing to live for. God bless.

Our Passion, our Dream
Stop doubting, stop looking at our inabilities, stop looking at ourselves and look up to God. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. What are you daring to dream for God?
“God always rejoices when we dare to dream”

Prayer
Hi, we need to get this going as we believe it can move mountains. If we do not know how to pray, go find out what God is doing in our generation, then do it.
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him (Isaiah 64:4, NIV). God acts when we wait in spirit and lifestyle of prayer.
Read 1 Samuel 3
1.Prayer is waiting on God (I Sam 3:1-11)
- waiting is not passive, waiting is active
- in any relationship, it takes time. So is our relationship with God
- God can speak to you today and trust that you can hear God
- we need God's voice to make a difference in this world
- without prayer, God can do nothing and prayer is our powerful disposal
- if you want to see a different, a moving mountain in your life, in your family, in your church in your nation, you first need to know the importance of prayer
- if you do not pray, that is why you do not see God's miracles, breakthroughs in your life

WAIT - LISTEN - OBEY
Read 1 Samuel 3
1.Prayer is waiting on God (I Sam 3:1-11)
- waiting is not passive, waiting is active
- when we wait, God will call
- when we wait, God will act
- when we wait, God will move
- in any relationship, it takes time. So is our relationship with God
- God can speak to you today and trust that you can hear God
- we need God's voice to make a difference in this world
- we much believe that we can hear God's voice
- without prayer, God can do nothing and prayer is our powerful disposal
- if you want to see a different, a moving mountain in your life, in your family, in your church in your nation, you first need to know the importance of prayer
- if you do not pray, that is why you do not see God's miracles, breakthroughs in your life
- prayer is where God come in to invade. To make the impossible, possible
- prayer is obedience
- if God speak to you, it is a move to action
Prayer can set captives free. And we must believe that if we are going to be activist, we must PRAY.

The Stool
Since the fall of man, we've been in a power struggle with God over control. We surrender to God's will, but when His reality interferes with our daily lives, we jump right back in the drivers seat. This short video will spark discussion over how committed we are to following God's direction in our lives.
Kate: Jesus, I have decided to give you this. (stool)
Jesus: Really?
Kate: Ya
Jesus: You know whoever sits here makes all the decisions right?
Kate: I know but I always make the decisions but You make the perfect decisions. So You just sit right down and start making them.
Jesus: Wow. I'm honored. I mean... this feels great.
Mag: Katlyn, guess what? I just got my new credit card and it's time to go shopping.
Kat: Oh really? I thought you and your husband are going to pay off debt.
Mag: Oh ya. I mean money is kinda tight but I figured he doesn't need to know about it. So do you want to go with me?
Jesus: No.
Kat: No!
Mag: Why??
Kat: Erm, what I mean is (sit half of the stool), I don't know. Erm, so let me check my schedule and then I'll get back to you.
Mag: Ya ok, give me a call
Kat: (chuckles) Ok.
Jesus: Kat, what's going on?
Kat: What do you mean?
Jesus: Oh, I'm kinda one cheek in here. (Kat's look at the position sitting) Look, I just want to make sure that we're on the same page.
(Both stands)
Jesus: You want me to sit here right?
Kat: Well, of course.
Jesus: And whoever sits here makes all the decisions?
Kat: Right.
Jesus: So what's the problem?
Kat: There's not a problem... I don't know what I was thinking. Really, here, please sit down.
Jesus: As long as you're sure.
Kat: I'm sure.
Jesus: Ok, so let's start over.
Kat: Ok.
Jesus: Alright.
Jesus: Kat, I know that you've been losing your temper a lot lately.
Kat: Right, (beginning to put one foot on stool) ok, Jesus, You know what, I know what You're going to say (hugs on Jesus/trying to go above Jesus/overcome Jesus)
Jesus: You do?
Kat: But you don't know the whole situation, you know?
Jesus: Wow
(Kat trying to pull Jesus out)
Jesus: All I am saying is your attitude is a decision
Kat: Ya. Yes of course. I have a lot going on right on. (still struggling to get on top of Jesus)
Jesus: I know you under a lot of pressure
Kat: (being finally able to be on top of Jesus) Pressure? But Jesus, You don't understand pressure ok. (Jesus notice what Kat did and stood up, making Kat tumbling a little and took the stool as a support while "falling" off the stool)
Jesus: This isn't working Kat!
Kat: What?
Jesus: We can't both sit on the seat. It's either me or it's you.
Kat: Ok. I know. You know what, I just didn't think it's going to be this hard but here, just take it (giving the stool to Jesus)
Jesus: No. I'm not going to take it. You have to give it to me.
Kat: (Realizing the question but not the answer) Ok. Here.
Jesus: Katlyn, make a choice. (in a statement/ decision stern voice)
Kat: I can't. (realizing the answer to the question)
Jesus: You just did (disappointing look)
