The Tribune

By KEVIN EWING

AS many of you would have discovered already, I love to share the wisdom, knowledge, understanding and spiritual insight that God Almighty has blessed me with.

Clearly, as you read my blog, I have no reservations in sharing these spiritual insights free of charge with you. In fact, I am always reminded by scripture that says, “Freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8)

My number one reason for sharing these revelations is due to the fact that I have discovered a long time ago that it is the lack of knowledge that causes us to fail, according to Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13.

In this particular teaching it is my desire to open your spiritual understanding to the reality that while you may dismiss your dreams, others who you repeat them to may not be doing the same.

In fact, if they are secretly jealous of you or they are concealing secret hate towards you, then the repeating of your dreams to them could quite well constitute revealing to them your future, and based on that knowledge, they can now calculate delays, setbacks and obstacles in your life.

The Bible tells us that when Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved Joseph more than he loved them, they hated him and could not speak peaceably unto him. Scripture goes on to say that Joseph had a dream and told it to his brothers, the scriptures clearly says that it was after these dreams that their hatred intensified towards him. The following is what Joseph revealed concerning his dreams: “We were tying sheaves together out in the middle of the fields, when all of a sudden, my sheaf stood up erect! And then your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf!”

Amazingly, his brothers who already hated him understood his dream even though he did not.

The following is the interpretation of Joseph’s dream given by his brothers: “And his brethren said to him, ‘Shalt thou indeed reign over us? Or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?’ And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.” (Genesis 37:4-8)

The thing I want you to zero in on is the fact that Joseph was ignorant of the knowledge being revealed in his dream and as a result he inadvertently revealed it to his haters (brothers).

This knowledge was only meant for him. This same chapter revealed that it was because of the revelation of his dream that his brothers set out to plot his demise.

Who could you be revealing your dreams to who fully understand the value and future implications of your dreams but secretly curse your dreams and insist that you discard them due to you not knowing their secret hate and jealousy towards you?

The next revelation in the above precious passages of scripture is this: God will allow your enemies to see in you what you cannot see in yourself. Joseph’s brothers, who were indeed his haters, saw the greatness in him via the telling of his dreams.

I am sure it is now clear to you as to why your haters, who have more material possessions than you, who are in better positions than you and who are by far more connected than you, would hate you and would do everything within their power to oppress you. Be careful who you reveal your dreams to.
