Born for a God-Sized Dream

All of us have dreams, especially when we were young – we had bold and audacious dreams. But as we grew older, we forget to dream – thinking it a frivolous pursuit. Or we bury our dreams, not wanting to sound foolish or crazy.

What we don’t realise is that – our dreams aren’t born from within us – it is God breathing them into us. He is the author and creator of our divine dreams.

God plants the Desires

When your heart leans towards God, He reshapes your desires to match His purpose. The dream or longing that keeps nudging you – the exciting idea that won’t let you sleep – the burden you carry that no one else sees – these are God planting the seeds of His divine dream in you. He is calling you to His divine assignment.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart – Psalm 37:4

God’s Dreams always Stretch you beyond your limit

If your dream feels bigger than you, or crazy, or even impossible – that’s when you know, it’s from God. When I had the dream of publishing my first journal book on Nehemiah in 52 days (to match Nehemiah’s rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem in 52 days) – it would have been impossible, if not from God!

Divine dream demands growth, courage, and discipline. It requires the version of you that you’re becoming, not the version you’re leaving behind. Your limitations or weaknesses do not disqualify you – it is God’s way of displaying His power – through your weakness.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness – 2 Corinthians 12:9

God Dreams through You for the sake of Others

Fulfilling your dream is not just for you. It doesn’t stop with you. It flows through you – touching and inspiring others, restoring hope, and opening doors for others.

Your gifts, talents and experiences are not random. They prepare you for the dreams you’re meant to fulfil. Someone is waiting on the dream that God placed in you – your dream is someone else’s answered prayer in the making.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others – 1 Peter 4:10

My Invitation

This is my invitation to you today: start acting like Heaven intends to fulfil your boldest and most audacious dream!

Starting a New Chapter with Courage

What are your dreams and hopes for 2025?

What new chapters are you starting in 2025?

What do you want to achieve by December 2025?

Starting a new chapter in life requires courage – courage to dream boldly, courage to defy limiting beliefs, and courage to act consistently, especially when the going gets tough.

Start a new chapter is liken to painting your first stroke on a blank canvas:

  1. Where to put the first few strokes? Always start with small steps – steps that you can start on today. Seek God’s wisdom to lead and guide you, as He will always establish your plans.

    Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

  2. What if I make a mistake? It’s okay to make mistake. In fact, the faster we make mistakes, the faster we learn and improve. Change your mindset of making mistakes to learning from mistakes and seeking continuous improvement. Learn to embrace imperfection and go with “good enough” to keep the momentum, instead of being stuck with perfect.

    Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

  3. What if it doesn’t turn out alright? It is most likely going to turn out quite different from when you start out, but that’s part of the adventure. You trust in the process, and sometimes the winding path will lead you somewhere unexpected. Nevertheless, know that God is able to do more than what you can ever imagine. When He puts a divine dream in your heart, He will certainly bless your journey.

    Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

This is my invitation to you today: take courage to pursue your divine dreams and trust in God to establish your ways, knowing that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than you can ever imagine.

Start 2025 Strong: Dream Boldly with Clarity

As we start an exciting year ahead, we are full of possibilities and new beginnings. It is also a time of pursuing bold dreams for the year, letting go of the things that used to hold us back in the past year(s).

The idea of dreaming boldly starts with clarity – being clear of what the bold dream that makes us excited, and why it matters to us so much. This clarity will fuel us to pursue our dream, and sets the direction of our new path. More importantly, this clarity identifies our “why” for pursuing our bold dream – which will sustain us when the going gets tough.

This is how we gain this clarity for your bold dream:

1. Reflect on your current situation – where in my life do I feel stuck, stagnant or misaligned? Are you restless for something more, or something better, or something new? What is holding you back? What can you do to overcome your limiting beliefs?

2. Visualise your Ideal Future – what do you want to achieve at the end of the year? Imagine it is December 2025 – what would bring you the most fulfilment, satisfaction and pride for your achievements? Imagine in great detail how this ideal future look like, feel like, even taste like!

3. Write down your Bold Dream – My Bold Dream for 2025 is… Next write down why it is important for you – the deep longing for it and what it truly means to you. And lastly, write down the steps you can take in pursuit of your bold dream. You don’t have to write down everything, as you will eventually figure out the steps as you go along. You just need to write down the first few steps to start.

My bold dream for 2025 is to be a speaker.

This dream matters to me as I want to share my key message:

Dream Boldly – Discover New Chapters – Defy Limits.

At the same time, I want to share my framework of Clarity – Courage – Consistency.

This is my invitation to you today: write down your bold dream and why it matters to you, and list the first few steps to achieve your dream.
