#Desire Dream and Destiny Book|| chpt-2
We have been studying on Positive Desire from my book #Desire, Dream and Destiny. We learnt that desire is the driving force to the place of dreams. I stated that positive desires will always lead us to that place where we work our dreams out. I also said, no one has either enough to pay for our dreams or has enough resources to facilitate our desires with reference to Genesis 30:31c-34.
People of God, a person with positive desires will always attempt to do that which has never been done before so that no one can claim the achievements. By the time Jacob left Laban’s household, he had the strongest herd which had the ability to produce for years to come [Genesis 30:41-43]. You see, desire is an investment and an investment is something that you do for future results. It is never for immediate or quick results. Therefore, when you pray, when you go to church and seek God, you are investing in your life that which is about to produce a future for you. Your future must be greater than your past. Jacob’s home from where he had run had no lack. Laban’s home had great wealth, for each of his daughters had at least two maids. Jacob desired Rachel and all the wealth. He finally got it all and that is the reward of positive desire. Jacob’s fulfilled desire produced in him that which inspired him to return to the place where he had first received his dreams, Bethel.
The scripture says; And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country [Genesis 30:25]. Get this: Jacob was able to set his mind on the next step of his life after Rachel had given birth to Joseph. People of God, positive desires are great investments that reveal to us the next levels of our lives. And that is why Rachel, a woman who had been barren for more than fourteen years, declares in Genesis 30:24 that;…The LORD shall add to me another son. Our God is in the business of adding to us more than yesterday’s achievements.
Listen to this: positive desires will cause us to have continuous victories in order to silence all critics. And that is the reason God gave Rachel another child and he was named Benjamin [Genesis 35:18]. The bible clearly says that Jacob favored Joseph [Genesis 37:3]; Why? I believe that this lad had turned out to be better than just okay. For every time we have a good dream, we will be dressed up fantastically. Favor came and landed on Joseph and wherever he went, he was favored. In Potiphar’s house, in the prison and even in the palace of Pharaoh, Joseph was favored. His good dreams landed him in all kinds of places [Genesis 39:2-3 & 21-23; Genesis 41:37-41].
As I conclude: All desires should climax in giving us dreams that are bigger than our daily needs and larger than our environment!
