Why I Wrote This Book:

DREAM BIG: You Are Created For More

You are born to soar!

It was a beautiful evening in the month of April 2008. I had gone to personally pick one of my covenant friends of almost 2 decades, who had just flown in from London, England, and was scheduled to preach at our Ministry’s anniversary here in Canada. As we breezed out of the Toronto Pearson International Airport into the freeway, we got talking about moments we’ve shared together that we both treasured so much, he reminded me about the prophetic declarations that I had shared with many almost two decades ago that we are called to preach the Gospel in the nations of the earth when we did not even know the way to the airport. Looking at me, he said, Pastor, you are now living in your dream....you have become a citizen of the world.

Though we are just warming up for God’s mighty glory that will fill the earth as waters cover the sea in these last days as prophesied by prophet Habakkuk (Hab. 2:14), there is the undisputable truth that the Dream of yesterday is the reality of today. What you see determines what you believe, and what you believe determines what you become. Your life cannot be richer or larger than your dream. There is the principle that all things are created twice-mental creation (first creation), then physical creation (second creation). Whatever human eyes can see today was initially created in someone’s imagination. Friends, when God wants to give a man a tree, He will give him seeds and when He wants to give him a future, He places a dream in his heart.

It is your dream that determines your destiny. Dreams are the building blocks of a glorious life. Man’s greatest limitation is not in the economy, the color of his skin, family background, lack of formal education or anything external. No! Man’s greatest limitation lies within. Small mind cannot build greatness neither can any little mind build anything that is worthwhile or enviable.

Your heart-not your physique, determines your height in life. God has so much in store for His children, yet many live in this world like a pauper because their hearts cannot conceive nor fathom what God has prepared for them. Life has brought frustration to many instead of fulfillment. Millions are living below their full potential today in spite of all that Christ has done for them. Untold numbers of people in the church are financially broke today, not because we don’t have Heavenly provision, but because they are disconnected from the Heavenly vision. Our provision lies in the vision shown to us by the Lord. Nothing guides our earthly walk like vision for "where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint" (Prov. 29:18 NIV). Are you tired of where you are today? Do you feel like this life is passing you by without fulfillment? Have you once tasted fulfillment but today your heart is broken and shattered? Do you think that God has forgotten you and your life doesn’t really matter to Him? Do you feel like quitting and forget about God’s purpose for your life because of unrealized dreams? Or are you asking, is this all there is? Is this all that life has for me?

I wrote this book for you! I AM SENT TO YOU BY THE LORD. I am sent to open your understanding to what lies within you. "Eyes hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" (1 Cor. 2:9 KJV). When Elisabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb (Luke 1: 41). As you go through this book your dream will come back to life again. God does not only raise the dead from the tomb, He also raises the dead dream in our womb.

This book will ignite a fresh fire in your heart and create a thirst in your soul for His plan and purpose for your life. It will strengthen your faith to become all that you are born and created to be in this world. Friends, you will discover that life is not about your own personal plan. IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM- LORD JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM. This book will place in your hands life-changing and time-tested secrets that will move you from dreaming to doing. The status of men is enhanced in the Kingdom by Secrets (Job. 29:1-4). Men rise in the Kingdom by secrets- and not by struggles. No one will ever rise above his/her insight, for it takes UNDERSTANDING to be OUTSTANDING in life.

You’ve looked around long enough. It’s time to start looking at what lies within. What lies within is far greater than what lies without. What lies behind you, and what lies before you are nothing compared with what lies within you. Friends, you are too loaded to pass through this life unreckoned with if Christ is in your heart. God is not finished with you yet. Dream big! Make big plans. Grow your faith in Him and His Word. Open up to the light of Heaven. God is still speaking and men are still doing the impossible. Fight for your place in Destiny. There is something in you that your world is waiting for. When you locate your purpose in life and pour your life into it, you will become a wonder to your world. There are not enough devils in the pit of hell that can defeat the plan and purpose of God for your life. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today".

May His WORD through this book bring you out of the common place of life and establish you among the Great Achievers in Jesus Name. Remember, if your heart is big enough to conceive it, your God is strong enough to perform it.

Dream Big-for you are created for more in this life. That’s why I wrote this book. Never forget this!

Welcome to your SEASON OF DISCOVERY and RECOVERY.

Foreword

I have known Martins Fatola for more than a decade both in Nigeria and North America. He is an avid reader, dreamer, prolific inspirational teacher and an achiever of the dreams envisioned by him. Over the years many dreams he shared with me and my wife {Folasade} by have been achieved by him and his wife Derin. I have no doubt that he is well qualified to add to vast volume of literatures already penned on dreaming and achieving personal goals and purposes in life. Many talk the talk only few walk the walk; such is not the ethos of this author with the debut of this great title.

His succinctly written book Dream Big, You are Created for More makes it crystal clear not only that every dream begins with a dreamer but the undeniable fact that dreamers rule the world. Men and women who dream bequest to the world, concrete ideas, concepts and inventions that lead to the betterment of humanity. The only way to impact generations is to dream and set to work on the dream no matter what it costs. This scripturally loaded motivational book is clear over what I firmly believe that the greatness of any man is determined by the dream of his life and the amount of sacrifice he can pay to achieve it.

This book will inspire, ignite and arouse the heart of three categories of people. First people who are yet to dream, envision and come to clear terms with their purposes in life, second it will strengthen and encourage the dreamers who are tired due to challenges on the way of their dream fulfillment; and lastly it will fire up the fulfilled dreamers to dream more in life and bequest to humanity vast horizon of inventions, concepts and ideas that make life better.

Therefore I highly recommend this book that is full of biblical wisdom and insight on dreaming big to both young and old, preachers and teachers of the word of God and everyone who dare to dream in life. Enjoy it.
