The dreams that I dream-21- He will guide us
Early in my ministry, most of
the members of my church in
It was during one of those
early days of my ministry that the Lord showed me this dream. I am climbing a
mountain and there are a lot of small houses here and there on the mountain.
The people living there seem to be poor and destitute. There is a father like
figure walking beside me as we begin the climb. The father like figure is
guiding me as I enter each house. I speak to the people about their life and
share a small message from the gospel in one house as he looks on. Next we
proceed to another house and there too I speak to the residents.
On the way up the mountain,
there are a few reptiles lying on the path, but they don’t attack me because
the father like figure protects me from them. After a while, I develop a
dislike for these poor houses and think of how to avoid these. I start moving
away from the path, but the father like figure holds my hand firmly and says,
“Not that way son, this way” and again leads me into another small house with
poor people. After we exit many such houses, we both look towards the mountain
top and smile at each other, me acknowledging that the father like figure is
the best guide for me and he affirming to me that he is there to guide me till
the end of my journey.
God has cut a clear cut path
for each of us in our work for Him. If we let Him guide us, He will be with us
continually, even though the path cut out for us be as one climbing a mountain
with hurdles on the way. And if He has called us to work among the poor, that
would be the best place for us to be, as He showed me in this dream.
