Topic: NEUTRALIZING THE POWER & EFFECTS OF EVIL DREAMS

MEMORIZE: "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19.

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 49:16-19.

"When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head. "In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head." So Joseph answered and said, "This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. "Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.""

EXPOSITION:

A pastor had a dream that he offended God and he was rebuked by God and that he died without repenting. At that point he woke up from his sleep with great fear. At the same time, his wife woke up and ask for why he woke up trembling. He thereby narrated the dream and when he got to the point that he died, he fell down and died physically in the real life. 

Dream is a revelation revealed to man while sleeping. It could reveal the past mysteries, the present ones or the future yet to happen events. The sources of dreams are divided into three – God, the devil, and human’s thoughts before sleeping. The effects of evil dream cannot be underrated. We are given the power of utterance to neutralize it through prayer in the name of Jesus. If any man keeps quiet when you ought to pray, he would become its victim. 

The pastor in our story today and the chief baker of pharaoh in the Bible were victims of their evil dreams not because God cannot reverse it but because they could not seek the face of God nullify it. They seem to have underrated the ability of God. They resigned to fate as they accepted it as their destiny. Learn to seek God, even when facing herd time of life. It is written, “Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.” Psalm 46:2-4.

The word of God was sent to king Hezekiah that he shall surely die in his sickness. But he cried to God for divine intervention, almost immediately, God sent his prophet to go and announce that he had answered him with additional fifteen years been added to his age. Prayer can do the impossible, and reverse the irreversible. It is written, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19. The power had been given to you; make use of it.

PRAYER POINTS:

Lord, help me to have encounter with you that will transform my life for good in Jesus name.
