Dreamer Or Visioner || DR. DANIEL K. OLUKOYA
John 3: 8 says an interesting thing about the Holy Spirit. It says, “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.” It simply means that immediately you get born again and get filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for the powers of darkness to trap you. They can hear the sound of your movement, but they will not know where you are going or where you are coming from. So is everyone that is born of the Spirit.
The greatest detective in the world is the Holy Spirit. No matter how clever you are, or how hidden a thing is, the Holy Spirit will bring it to light, and before Him no man can hide.
Acts of Apostles 2: 17 says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see vision and your old men shall dream dreams.”
A DREAMER
A dreamer has a lot of disadvantages, his greatest disadvantage is that he has to sleep before he collects information. For example, if a situation that requires urgent spiritual attention is happening at his place of work, he would fail woefully because there would not be time for him to go somewhere and sleep to receive a revelation. Unfortunately, 90 per cent of Christians who claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit these days can be classified as “glorified dreamers.”
When you are moving below the level that God wants you to move, you will not be able to withstand the storm and waves that will come against you.
WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead. He is a person and not a thing. Many people have no problem visualizing God the Father and God the Son but when we talk about God the Holy Spirit, they get lost. Many people think of God the Father as one old man sitting somewhere and looking at all of us. God the Son is easy for them to identify. Many people know that He is Jesus, the One who came to the world as the man of sorrow, man of Galilee, man from Nazareth, etc.
The Holy Spirit is not easily identified by many. But He is really a person, and since He is a personality, He can speak to you, open your eyes, and open your ears. He is the executive agent of God on earth today. When Jesus was going away, He said to His disciples, “If I do not go, the Holy Spirit will not come. I go but I will send you another comforter. This means that Jesus is a comforter, but He said, “I will send another one, that is the Holy Spirit.”
HINDRANCES TO VISION:
1. Demonic activities: If you are involved in demonic activities, forget being a visioner. You will become a permanent dreamer.
2. Unconfessed sin: If you have unconfessed sin in your life, forget the school of the visioners. You will remain a dreamer until you confess all your sin.
3. Lack of true repentance: When you have not truly repented, forget the school of the visioners because you will still be a dreamer.
4. Unforgiveness: If there are some people that you can never forgive, forget the school of visioners.
5. Pride.
6. Fear: If fear is in your heart, you will remain in the school of dreamers.
7. Unbelief and doubt.
8. Lack of concentration: Some people’s minds roam around. They do not really follow anything through. Such remain in the school of dreamers.
9. Refusing to release yourself totally to the Holy Spirit.
10. Refusal to honour your parents: This will also land you in the school of dreamers.
The choice is yours now. Joshua said to the Israelite, “Choose you this day whom you shall serve, whether the idols your father were worshiping in the wilderness or the Lord God.” He also made a confession. He said, “But as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.” Personal choice.
You must depart from the school of dreamers. Your eyes must open so that you can receive divine revelation. Remember it is a matter of personal decision. If you decide to put an end to blind Christian life, God will open your eyes. If you say, “Enough of spiritual life of the valley,” God will catapult you to the mountain-top. It is necessary to confess any hidden sin that can hinder you to the Lord. God has promised to fill all the vessels that are ready. So, readiness is the condition.
