Dreams Rooted in God Outlast the Dreamer

Devotional From The Sermon: Dreaming Beyond Our Days

Rev. Rev. Dr. Bankole Akinbinu

Reading: Genesis 50:24-26; Hebrews 11:22

Devotional:

Joseph did not spend his final moments clinging to personal comfort or a familiar burial place. Instead, he spoke a word of faith over generations he would never meet, directing that his bones be carried into the promised land. His dream was not about his own legacy but about the faithfulness of God to his people. This is mature faith. Faith that releases control, trusts God’s promises, and sows into a future beyond personal reach. Consider what seeds of faith you are planting today. The harvest may belong to someone who has not yet been born. Plant anyway.

Personal Reflection:

• How does Joseph’s faith challenge the way you think about legacy?
• What is one act of obedience you can take today, even if you may not see the full harvest?
