THE LAW OF DREAMS
Great leaders lead by planting dreams in the hearts of
followers. When Jesus “saw the multitudes, He was moved
with compassion for them” (Matt. 9:36). Jesus’ vision of
people moved Him to action. His vision of people motivated
Him to preach His greatest sermon, the Sermon on the
Mount (Matt. 5:1ff). His vision of people motivated Him to
give His greatest call for prayer, a prayer for workers (Matt.
9:38). Finally, His vision motivated Him to give His greatest
challenge, a call to make disciples of all nations (Matt.
28:18-20).
Both vision and dreams (the law uses dreams and vision
interchangeably) describe the first mandate of leaders. “A
leader must direct people to a desirable objective.” To state
it in every day language, “When people buy into your dreams,
they buy into your leadership.”
Law One: The Law of Dreams
Descriptive statement: People follow a leader who directs
them to a desirable objective.
Prescriptive statement: The leader must direct followers to a
desirable objective. When people buy into your dreams, they
buy into your leadership. The dream of Martin Luther King,
Jr., ignited the black community of the United States. “I have
a dream,” he cried from the front of the Washington
Monument in the nation’s capital to over one million
listening ears. The civil rights leader was an Old Testament
seer (prophet). He saw “a little black boy and a little white
boy in Georgia play together.”
The dream of King led to the passing of Civil Rights
legislation giving equality to a disenfranchised minority. He
epitomized leadership by leading a nation to legally abolish
the pervasive barrier of inequality that was practiced in
America. When the black community bought into King’s
dream, they made him their uncontested leader. They
endured the police dogs that were released on them. They
did not give up when fire hoses were turned on them. Many
went to jail for the dream. It was a dream of freedom. When
the legislators bought into King’s dreams, they enacted the
laws needed to carry out those dreams. The most powerful
tool a leader possesses is dreams. In the Old Testament,
prophets led the nations without the sword, legislative office
or political might. They led with a thunderous voice. They
spoke for God.

Wedding Planners are heaven-sent for couples who need to work on their theme, their budget and limited
time. Sit back and relax and let wedding planners do the work for your special day.
Wedding is one the most awaited events in everyone's life. It is more than just celebrating a birthday. This is
when a man and a woman bid goodbye to their single-hood and has decided to bind as one to start building
their own family. Wedding is truly a very special moment not only for the marrying couples, but also for their
parents, friends and relatives.
Planning a wedding is not an easy task. You will need to look in every detail to make sure that the event will
be a successful one. Expect tremendous amount of money time to spent and needed when you decided to
get married. This is really exhausting and not be good for the bride-to-be for she might become haggard on
that very special day. The best way to get through your planned wedding is by hiring a wedding planner.
Wedding planners are the people sent by heaven to help you in any way possible to bring you a very
successful wedding.
Wedding planners are very articulate when it comes to their job. Many people say that they are too
expensive, but the truth is you can hire them at competitive prices. Wedding planners will help you find a
wedding package that will fit your budget without sacrificing the qualities of the event. They fully understand
how special the day will be for both the groom-to-be and wife-to-be. You will never be harassed in choosing
the motif, food, site, menus and even photo and video coverage.
You don't have to stress yourself during the wedding preparations. All you have to do is to enjoy yourself and
be beautiful until the big day. The wedding planner will always be there to work over every detail and take
off the pressure on your shoulders. They will work in close coordination with you and lay everything to you
right in your place at your most convenient time.
In choosing a wedding planner, ask for referrals. You may ask your friends to give you contact so you can
check how much their services range. You can also verify how successful the wedding they planned based
on previous clients they served.
You are the most important part of that very big day in your life. Therefore, you don't need to stressed and
rattled with working directly in every single part of the day. Of course you can't afford not in your freshest
smile on that day that you will be exchanging vows with your loved one.
As I look around at many of the women and
young girls in our society today, it is very evident
to me that this is a needed ministry. They have
lost their sense of modesty and self-respect; they
are promiscuous, brash and bold. More and
more women have self-worth issues and allow
themselves to be deceived and exploited by the
enemy. They are suicidal, depressed, oppressed,
and increasingly chemically dependent.
I believe God wants to use my life experiences to
make a difference in the lives of other women
who have had similar experiences and possibly
prevent some from having to experience the
pain, shame, and destruction of those
experiences. If I can touch the life of just one
woman, then my life and all that I have gone
through, will not have been in vain.

Sound the alarm in Jerusalem! Raise the battle cry on my holy mountain! Let everyone tremble in fear because the
day of the LORD is upon us. Joel 2:1 (NLT)
Joel was one of the Old Testament prophets and the author of the book of Joel. God called Joel to deliver
the message of the “Day of the LORD” to the Israelites (God’s chosen people). At that time most of them were living
as though they never knew God. Therefore, God used Joel to get their attention. Joel 2:11 says “…The day of the
LORD is an awesome, terrible thing. Who can possibly survive?” In verse 12, God says …“Turn to me now, while
there is time. Give me your hearts”…
On January 8, 2012, I attended the opening of the Dream Chasers Support Center and was blessed to meet
Pastor Dornett. As we talked and shared our dreams, visions, and purpose, we discovered that we had a lot in
common. Mostly, we both love God and have a deep desire to serve him and his people.
Although I was raised in church, I spent many years living outside of God’s best for me. I was on the fast
track to self-destruction. I was deeply involved in drugs an alcohol abuse and sexual immorality. I was looking for
love in all the wrong places but only found deception, despair, disappointment, and depression. I had forgotten that
I was a child of God and that He loved me dearly. Finally, I realized my only hope was God. I cried out to Him for help
and He heard my cry and rescued me. Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, my life was reconciled and my
destiny was restored in Him.
The real story is God’s great love transformed the ugliness of my life into the beautiful concept of Diamonds
& Butterflies, a ministry that is dedicated to empowering women to change their world through the love of Jesus
Christ and an intimate relationship with Him. It is my passionate desire to minister to women by helping them to
know and understand how precious they are to God and to discover and walk in their divine destiny in Christ Jesus. I
believe it is the heart of God that none would be lost and that He wants to restore and reconcile all to Himself. My
heart weeps for my sisters who are hurting, deceived, disappointed, depressed, and looking for love in all the wrong
places. They have forgotten that God loves them unconditionally and has an awesome plan of redemption in Jesus
Christ. I believe, now is the acceptable time to tell them of the coming “Day of the LORD” and encourage them to
repent and give their hearts to God while there is still time.
Therefore, I gladly accept God’s call today to urgently “Sound the Alarm because the “Day of the LORD” is
upon us!” I humbly take my place as an ambassador of the Almighty God, standing strong in the power of HIS might
declaring the Gospel of Christ unto salvation. Led always by the Holy Spirit, the One who gives divine guidance,
strategies, and insights that will accomplish the task of returning the souls of God’s precious women to the place of
reconciliation, restoration and peace in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Your Dimension Of Greatness
No one can know the potential, Of a life that is committed to win;
With courage - the challenge it faces, To achieve great success in the end!
So, explore the Dimension of Greatness, And believe that the world CAN be won;
By a mind that is fully committed, KNOWING the task can be done!
Your world has no place for the skeptic, No room for the DOUBTER to stand;
To weaken your firm resolution That you CAN EXCEL in this land!
We must have VISION TO SEE our potential,
And FAITH TO BELIEVE that we can; Then COURAGE TO ACT with conviction, To become what GOD MEANT us to be!
So, possess the strength and the courage, To conquer WHATEVER you choose;
It's the person WHO NEVER GETS STARTED, That is destined FOREVER to lose!
~ Author Unknown ~ Back to the top. flower
You Can Be Whatever
You Want To Be! There is inside you
all of the potential
to be whatever you want to be,
all of the energy
to do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to
be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed
of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

Communicating With Power By Kevin Daley
Recommended By Pastor Hasan Abdullah Written
Presenting with Power
Putting leadership on parade does not come naturally to some leaders, particularly those who have led primarily by
issuing directives. But presenting with power is a skill easily learned. Once learned, it becomes a habit and each
presentation becomes increasingly effective. In any meeting, large or small, the effective leader captures the
listeners' attention immediately, holds it for the duration of the presentation, and creates the kind of energy that
generates action.
The leader should organize the message so it is clear and compelling. He appeals to both the heart and head. He
tells stories that involve the audience --and reveal his humanity, which is essential for establishing trust. The
stories paint word pictures, with characters, settings and action. The leader makes deliberate use of wording,
voice, posture, movement and timing. And his most powerful communications tools are his eyes.
Steady, warm eye contact conveys credibility. Failure to make eye contact can signal unease, defensiveness or
perhaps lack of candor. When talking with one person, the leader looks at the other's eyes, then moves away to
avoid causing discomfort. With a large group, he makes everyone feel included by making eye contact with one
person in the audience for as long as it takes to express a thought, and then moves his eyes to someone else in a
different part of the room.
When a leader is able to zero in with eye contact toward one audience member, surrounding audience members
benefit too; studies have shown that all the audience members in the area around the person being addressed
feel they’re being spoken to directly. Using the eyes this way also alleviates whatever anxiety the presenter may be
feeling because speaking one-to-one to an individual comes naturally. In contrast, nervous speakers scan the
audience, never finding one focal point, which increases their anxiety because the brain has too much information
to process.
Using the eyes appropriately is the single most important factor for communicating effectively, it has been shown
in an academic study conducted by faculty at the University of Akron's School of Communication. The study
evaluated the relative importance of 10 different presentation skills factors in presentations made by participants
in Communication presentations training course.
