Text: Psalm 33:10-11
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Dreams come when we sleep. There are three sources of dreams. Dreams can come as a spill over of daily cares, worries and activities- Ecclesiastes 5:3a. In this case, you see yourself continuing the activities of the day in your dream. Like someone who played ball during the day and sees himself continue the football playing in his dream.
Secondly dreams can be the handiwork of the devil. One way to know a dream is the work of the devil is that it comes with fear. Fear is of the devil. If an angel of God appears to you, and he notices that you are afraid, the first thing he will say is “Fear not”- Genesis 21:17; Luke 1:30; 2:10-11; Acts 27:23-24.
If a dream cripples you with fear rather than boost your faith, it is from the devil. It is a negative dream, pray against it. If you don’t pray against it, it may happen as you dreamt it.
There are so many scriptures you can use to enforce God’s promises in your life. A recommended scripture to cancel negative dreams is Psalm 33:10-11 which says, “The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”
Ask God to scatter, nullify and ruin every decision the enemy has made and spoil all their plans. Then pray that the plan and purpose of God for your life be established forever.
Whatever dreams the devil brings is to steal, kill or destroy. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. Ask God to rebuke the activities of the killer, stealer and destroyer in your life and bring his counsel to pass in your life in Jesus name.
If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, you have given the devil a license to afflict you with negative dreams. Repent today!
Action Nugget: Pray against any negative dream in your life using the word of God.
