22. Believe The Impossible!
22. Believe The Impossible!
Lewis Carroll's
famous masterpiece ‘Through the Looking Glass’ contains a story that
exemplifies the need to dream the impossible dream. There is a conversation
between Alice and the queen, which goes like this:
"I can't
believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't
you?" the queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again, draw a long
breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed.
"There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible
things."
"I dare say you
haven't had much practice," said the queen. "When I was your age, I
always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as
six impossible things before breakfast."
When you dare
to dream, many marvels can be accomplished. The trouble is, most students never
start dreaming.

Today I want to encourage you to Believe The
Impossible!
Have you ever read Genesis 37:5-11? You should…
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his
brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, "Please hear
this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field.
Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves
stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf." And his brothers said to
him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion
over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said,
"Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and
the eleven stars bowed down to me." So he told it to his father and his
brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream
that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to
bow down to the earth before you?" Genesis 37:5-11
Every
great achievement was once impossible UNTIL SOMEONE SET A GOAL to make it a
reality!
Are you reaching out for seemingly impossible academic feat today? Are
you wondering how you can achieve your academic dreams?
A dream can be
described as something you wish for, something you desire to achieve or to
happen to you or through you. But why are certain things considered as
impossible dreams? One reason is, they may have never been achieved before
their time. The Wright brothers experienced this type of hindrance. The
engineers of their day could not conceive any type of craft that could float in
the air, let alone fly.
For example, if your
department or faculty has never recorded a first class graduation everyone may
automatically decide that it cannot be done. If no one in your family has ever
graduated from any higher institution, even though they attended, this may form
a block on your imagination that you may also not graduate.
Genesis 37:5-11
above features Joseph. His dream of greatness seemed so impossible, but history
shows differently. In Genesis 41:41 Pharaoh made Joseph administrator over all
Egypt, and in Genesis 42:6, “…Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him
with their faces to the earth.”
I will not say that your dream for your
academic life is not impossible. I would only acknowledge this fact that, WITH
GOD, EVEN THE IMPOSSIBLE CAN HAPPEN!
Luke 18:27 declares,
“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” You can
achieve whatever you set on heart upon. You only need to accept God’s verdict
about your dream for your academics and your life.
Continue to expect the best from yourself and continue to maintain a
great attitude regardless whatever happens.
Don’t compromise on your good habits, stay
focused on your academic goals and whatever happens know that God will come
through for you.
I’ll be glad to hear from you. Kindly send your testimonies, questions
and prayer requests as responses on this blog. To
ensure your friends, class mates and room-mates are also equipped by Intervention
Messages and Study Tips, kindly share this message with them.
Thank you for joining me. I remain your host Tope Banjo and this is Intervention. God bless you mightily!
You will succeed. You will make it!
