#Desire Dream and Destiny Book|| chpt-1, Psalms 37:4
In our previous text on the power of desire, we discovered that once you are not afraid to desire, then you will never be afraid to receive. This is because positive desire causes you to dream since every dreamer is destined to win. I want us to pick it up from there in regard to my book titled “Desire, Dream and Destiny”.
Everyone, say like you mean it: I am destined to win! Friends, I strongly believe that desire is power and any power is either positive or negative. Let me give you an example; if there are two persons running for an office of great influence and power, the one with a positive desire will want to see people’s lives transformed. On the contrary, the one with a negative desire will want power to satisfy his selfish ends. Positive desire starts with one person, but it ends up blessing others too. What I mean is this; the Almighty God always want to give you something, but you may not know how He will give it to you.
One day, I desired a Boss suit, but it was very expensive and I could not afford it at that time. So I asked God for it and I believed that my request was granted. I rejoiced and that is how I got it. A few years ago, I flew from the United States of America to Denmark to preach. I realised that the airline which I used misplaced my bags. When I arrived in Copenhagen, I did not have any suitable clothes to wear, yet I was supposed to preach that very day. All I had was a T-shirt, a pair of jean trousers, a jacket I was wearing, snickers and a small bible I was carrying. To cut the long story short, I filled the form for the lost baggage and they [airliner] told me; “let us take you and buy you some clothes’’. To my amazement, the shop we went to at the airport had only clothes by Boss. I picked out exactly the one which I had desired to buy sometime back. I told them that it looked nice on me. Curiously enough, it was the only suit in the shop that could fit me. As if that was not enough, the airline company bought it with shoes to match. It is then that I realized that God had permitted my bags to get lost for just a while in order to grant me my desires.
Brothers and sisters, at the end of it all, the shop registered a sale and I had my Boss outfit. Psalms 37:4 tells us to; delight ourselves also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Many people desire, but end up not receiving what they hoped for, simply because they lack knowledge about the power of desire. For any power to exist, it must be generated; hydroelectricity is generated, so is solar power as well as all other forms of power that I know of. This is how the power of positive desire is generated. Saints, to delight is to ‘have great pleasure.’ In other words, it is having the joy that provides great and continuous pleasure. Therefore, you must start to generate the power for your desire right away by being delightful, because…. the Joy of the Lord is your strength [Nehemiah 8:10]. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; until that which you desire brings you great pleasure, you will have to stick with it.
As I conclude this text: child of God, delight yourself in your maker and He will give you the desires of your heart, and that is when you will be able to relocate to the place of your dreams. To delight in the Lord is the only option left for a dreamer with a positive desire to acquire the fire and the power needed to make it happen!
