January 2022
RESET2022 is church-wide fasting and prayer for a breakthrough. God gives dreams and visions for a breakthrough. God gave a vision to Abraham to bless His people and the nations. God gave dreams to Joseph to prepare him for the future. God gave dreams and visions to Daniel to save His people and to reveal God’s plan for the world. A God-given destiny will triumph over feeling pained and enchained. God can break every chain to change your future. Ask God to give you dreams and visions for your own breakthrough.
As followers of Jesus, we pray for breakthroughs:
- In our family
- In our relationships
- In our health
- In our finances
- In our professions
- In our ministry
- In our church
In order to experience a breakthrough, change has to happen within you.
JANUARY 2, 2021: GOD GIVES DREAMS FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH | DANIEL 2:23 | Pastor Margareth
“He reveals deep and secret things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.” (Daniel 2:23).
God has a dream and you are part of His dream. Trust in God’s dream because He is the dream-maker. God had a dream for Daniel and he trusted God for a breakthrough. Daniel trusted God in prayer and received God’s supernatural interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Like Daniel, we need to trust God in prayer for a supernatural breakthrough.
When you take on God’s dream, He will bring it to pass. As the dream-maker, God will assure the success of the dream He gives you.
God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream. The worldly men of only human skill (Daniel 2: 8-13) showed how impossible it is for humans to truly interpret dreams from God. But Daniel, who trusted God in prayer, received His supernatural interpretation. Daniel gave credit to God in his prayers and in his testimony before Nebuchadnezzar, who later also gave God the glory He deserved.
- Has God been revealing His deep and secret things for you as you seek Him?
- What dreams has He been revealing to you?
Daniel was gifted with deep knowledge and understanding.
- How can you exercise your “spiritual gifts” today? How can you align your gifts with your dreams?
JANUARY 9, 2021:THE DREAM-MAKER IS THE WAY
"Then Daniel said to the king, 'O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.'” (Daniel 6:22-23)
God, the Dream-Maker, is also the Way-Maker. God made a way out of the lion's den for Daniel.
Enemies plotted against Daniel to find fault in him (Daniel 6: 1-17), but Daniel found favor with King Darius.
Because Daniel attracted the attention of King Darius and earned a place of respect, he also earned the ire of the governors and satraps. To bring a charge against Daniel, “All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.” (Daniel 6:7)
Daniel knew that King Darius signed the decree, but he nevertheless went home and prayed to God. When we honor God, He honors us.
- How often do you go to God for prayer and supplication?
- What spiritual disciplines do you practice to connect with God?
- Do you remember a situation where God showed His faithfulness to you because you honored Him?
JANUARY 16, 2021: GOD GIVES THE VISION TO GIVE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE | Daniel 7 | Pastor Wung Valui
“Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.” (Daniel 7:27)
God gives us visions so that we may think, act, and live in ways that please Him. Suffering is closely associated with triumph. Oftentimes you will suffer for God before having a breakthrough. The saints of God suffer and endure in order to reign with Him.
Daniel had amazing dreams about four, awe-inspiring, fearsome creatures. God was telling Daniel what the future held. Daniel agonized over the visions he saw, and he was in great distress. He grieved in his spirit because of the coming judgment. But he also saw God as the Ancient of Days who will defeat the Antichrist and bring about the Messianic kingdom. God gives His visions to give us both the hope of glory and the patience to endure our present tribulations. God reveals visions to His people to change our mindset and our perspective in order to see our lives and circumstances as God sees them.
People want to know the future. That’s why people go to fortune-tellers, have their palms read, or read Nostradamus’s prophecies for obscure messages that will relieve them of their fears.
- How do you balance your dreams and visions with your current reality?
- What is your response when you have dreams and visions?
JANUARY 23, 2021: BREAKTHROUGH DREAMS NEED BREAKTHROUGH PRAYERS | Daniel 10 | Pastor Jonathan Fung
“In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” (Daniel 10:2-3)
Prayer is essential to having a breakthrough. God reveals His vision and gives an understanding of the vision when we seek Him in prayer. Daniel fasted and prayed for three weeks. Then an angel appeared and told Daniel that on the first day he prayed God had heard him. But the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia had resisted Daniel's words for twenty-one days. (Daniel 10:12-13)
Breakthrough dreams need breakthrough prayers. To fight a spiritual battle we need spiritual weapons. God equipped us with powerful spiritual weapons: “The sword of the Spirit” and “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
To fight a good fight we need the Word of God and constant prayer.
- What are you fasting and praying for?
- Are you fully equipped with God’s spiritual weapons?
- Is it worth giving up pleasant food for three weeks in order to receive visions or dreams that give you answers to your search for greater closeness to God?
JANUARY 30. 2021: GOD GIVES THE VISION TO GUIDE YOUR DAILY LIVING | Daniel 12 | Pastor Wung Valui
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:2-3)
When God gives us visions, He also gives us an unshakeable faith for a breakthrough. We need to yield and surrender to God and let His vision guide our daily living. Those who live in God’s vision will shine. Every believer in Jesus is like a star and those who bring many to Jesus will shine brightly.
Daniel’s visions revealed the importance of investing in things that will last forever and ever.
The angel told Daniel that multitudes who were dead would one day rise – the righteous to eternal life, the unsaved to judgment. On that day, the wise and those who win souls for God’s kingdom will shine like stars. ( Daniel 12:2-3).
- How are you living for Jesus, yielding to Him in every area of your life, and being an example to believers as well as unbelievers?
- Are you letting God's vision guide your daily living?
