Dream and Do

I have read a lot about men who have dreams but never bring them to reality. I have also read about men who have transformed the world with their dreams, Albert Eistein, Bill Gate, Abraham Lincon, Nelson Mandela, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti just to mention few names but then it is not enough to say, "I have a dream" like Martin Luther King Jnr. Such a statement is a good start, but gets us nowhere fast unless it is followed by action. A large part of achieving the things we want in life depends on establishing a clear goal (dream) first—then going after it with all our might.
Some people say that they have faith, which is enough. But James made it very clear that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). We can dream about God's Kingdom (and should), but if we do not follow up with humbly seeking the path to salvation, we are left with nothing. Dreams are not enough, back it up with action. lastly, may I ask where you will want to be by this time next year, two years, three years, five years time? Have a clear goal. To lie down resign to fate means madness, not to do something is to be cripled fast said my teacher; Ola Rotimi, Professor of Dramatic Arts Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife.
