A New Dream
I now have a new dream: I want to donate one billion pesos. I can see myself doing it already. Ill be putting up a Trust Fund for the Light of Jesus Family worth one billion pesos. (Thats the spiritual organization I founded 30 years ago.) That Trust Fund will outlast me. It will be there even after I die. How is that possible? Because its a Trust Fund, they cant touch the principal amountjust the interest. But the interest alone, at a mere 4 percent a year (invested in Treasury Bills) will give the Light of Jesus P40 million a yearand every year thereafter. It might take me a few years to donate a billion. But I know it will happen in Gods perfect time. Am I crazy to dream this way? Twenty years ago, I was so poor, my entire net worth was in my wallet. I was so poor, there were days when I wanted to eat in a fastfood eatery and I couldntbecause I had no money. There were days I wanted to have a haircut and I couldntbecause I had no money. Yet that same guy dreamt of donating one million. Wasnt it crazy for me to dream that way? Yet that crazy dream is happening today.

1. Desire in Faith
Declare what you want to God. Tell God about your desire every day. Believe me, He loves hearing you say it over and over again. The Bible says, Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). Bible scholars say that if you look at the original Greek text, the literal translation of that verse is, Keep on asking and you shall receive, keep on seeking and you shall find, keep on knocking and the door shall be opened unto you. You might ask, Why? Doesnt God hear me the first time I ask it? Of course, He does. But praying for our desire again and again isnt really for Him. Its for us. By praying repeatedly for the same thing, we become more open to Gods direction and blessing. It makes us more focused. And what we focus on grows.

2. Feel in Faith
Imagine that youve achieved your goal. And capture this feeling of certainty inside you. Jesus says, I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him (Mark 11:23). Relax. Its already a done deal. One writer said, You dont have to force your dream to happen. Just let it happen. Obviously, were not talking of not working. But your working flows from trust, not from stress. As you relax, believe that God is working behind the scenes, arranging every blessing you need to flow in your direction.
3. Thank in Faith
Thank God as if youve already achieved your dream. Thank God for the abundance. As you do this every day, youll notice something shift inside you. Youll be thinking in a different way.
4. Act in Faith
Act as if your dream is already fulfilled. An example? Give your tithe or 10 percent of what you earn now. It may only be a few pesos, but give it anyway. Dont wait until you start earning big. Because giving is a declaration of the abundance that is coming your way. Keep praying. Keep prospering! May your dreams come true,
