Believe Much Bigger, Much Sooner
If you have big dreams that you think are too big…
If Jesus appeared to you right now and asked you, “What do you want Me to do for you?” what would you say? If you can believe and ask Him for much bigger, much sooner, God can do for you so much bigger much sooner.

Luke 18:35-43
35 As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging,
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening.
37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
38 He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!”
39 The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
40 Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.”
42 Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.”
43 He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.
Dearest Father,
Today I would like to reflect on our Gospel in Luke 18 about the Blind Bartimaeus who believed much bigger, much sooner for him to receive his sight.
Luke 18
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.”
42 Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.”
43 He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.
If Jesus appeared to you right now and asked you, “What do you want me to do for you?”, what would you say?
Do you know what you want?
Oprah Winfrey, when asked, “What is the common characteristic that you find gets people to where they want to go?”
She replied, “People get to where they want to go cause they know where they want to go. Most people don't.
She said the most important question you can ask yourself is ‘What do I really want to do.”
The blind man knew what he wanted: To see.
It doesn't matter that it’s so big and possibly impossible for him to achieve. Jesus is here, the man whom he heard had been doing miracles, can do it.
And he wanted to ask Jesus that so much that he shouted his loudest just to get the attention of Jesus.
And he did. He got Jesus to ask him what he wanted Jesus to do for him.
And because of his faith, because he believed he would get what he asked of Jesus, he got what he wanted exactly - he got his sight back.
The exact same thing happened to Solomon. God appeared to him in a dream and asked him what he wanted.
2 Chronicles 1:7-10 GNBDK
[7] That night God appeared to Solomon and asked, “What would you like me to give you?” [8] Solomon answered, “You always showed great love for my father David, and now you have let me succeed him as king. [9] O LORD God, fulfil the promise you made to my father. You have made me king over a people who are so many that they cannot be counted, [10] so give me the wisdom and knowledge I need to rule over them. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?”
Solomon knew exactly what he wanted: wisdom and knowledge to rule God's people.
And you know what happened?
God gave him exactly what he wanted plus more.
2 Chronicles 1:11-12 GNBDK
[11] God replied to Solomon, “You have made the right choice. Instead of asking for wealth or treasure or fame or the death of your enemies or even for long life for yourself, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge so that you can rule my people, over whom I have made you king. [12] I will give you wisdom and knowledge. And in addition, I will give you more wealth, treasure, and fame than any king has ever had before or will ever have again.”
Solomon became one of the richest men in history and his net worth today is said to be $1.9 trillion.
Just because he knew what he wanted, he knew whom to ask it from.
And when we know what we want and we ask it from God, believing in faith, He gives it to us plus more because He is always a God of more than enough.
When I was looking for an online job, I created a profile on this online job portal and it asked me for my desired income.
At that time I was only earning 15k per month as a hospital nurse.
I put in 60k per month on that profile in a burst of faith. All of my being seemed to oppose what I wrote - this is so impossible, it's beyond double my current salary, how could this happen?
But I refused to change it believing God will make it happen for me.
For my part, I had to build up my faith: listening to inspirational Christian messages daily, giving my tithe and sowing for my dreams, sending out 10 resumes a night, fully believing God would give me the perfect online job for me.
God did.
Now I work for two online companies as a virtual assistant, receiving exactly 60k per month if I work 40 hours a week and about 80k if I extend my hours to 60 per week.
God gave me exactly what I asked plus more.
I was on my daily prayer walk one day, and I was talking to God about my dreams.
I was claiming for the barest minimum of $7k per month online passive income to $10M a year, so I can have $3M in reserve for my personal, business, and current investment accounts and $7M seed money to give to God's assignments.
These investment accounts would I know give me monthly passive interest income for my monthly expenses so that I can have the financial freedom to be a full-time creator and focus my full time and attention on prayer and my ministry of the Word: giving inspiration and encouragement to God's people.
That alone is a big one for me.
Let me share with you my conversation with God that I recorded in my journal that day:
Is this really what you want? You can ask me for anything, you know?
Anything, Lord? I asked.
Yes.
If that's the case, my ultimate dream is to receive and act on Your inspired ideas that bless billions of people and produce trillions, at least 100 billion/month, in recurring, residual, passive profits from multiple passive income rivers (Deuteronomy 1:11), quickly, easily, and effortlessly, doing what I love and enjoy, working whenever I want wherever I want with my family and friends in a business empire and family dynasty You have established for me with my own flesh and blood to succeed after me (2 Samuel 7:11), giving me, my family, and friends total time and financial freedom freeing our shoulders from the burden allowing our hands to lay aside the laborers’ baskets (Psalm 81:6), making me a thankful trillionaire giving 99% tithe to fund God's assignments in the world while still living well off with 1%, making me Your source and symbol of blessing (Zech 8:13) blessing at least a billion people in my generation and for generations to come. (Genesis 12:2-3)
There. That's my highest, grandest dream.
Remember when you put in 60k/month on that income profile on your online job portal when you really wanted to earn 100k/month just because you couldn't believe you could earn 100k and you settled for 60k for a start?
Well, I gave you what you asked for.
Why not ask Me for what you really want now rather than in the future?
Believe much bigger, much sooner.
The sooner you can believe Me for your greatest dreams, the sooner I can make them happen.
Do you believe I can do this for you?
Yes, Lord, I believe.
Know what you want and ask Me for exactly what you want, no matter how big you think it is.
I want you bearing much fruit now rather than in the future.
So believe much bigger, much sooner
Now Your Turn, my dear SpeakChrist Nakama
In the midst of life's challenges, what if Jesus turned to you and asked, 'What do you want me to do for you?'
Jesus asked the blind man Bartimaeus the same way.
Luke 18
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.”
42 Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.”
43 He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.
Now Jesus is asking you the same question:
What do you want Me to do for you?
What do you really want?
Do you know what you want?
Not what others want you to do, not what you think is possible for you to do and achieve.
What exactly do you want?
God, in Jesus and now in you, can do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or imagine.
Ephesians 3:20 MEV
[20] Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works in us.
You can ask God for what you really want.
Not what you think you can achieve. Ask God for something so big, He alone can make it happen.
Believe much bigger, much sooner.
The sooner we can ask and believe God for our biggest, grandest dreams, the sooner He can make big things happen for us.
When that happens, people will see and give glory to God.
So believe for great things to happen to you for the greater glory of God.
What do you want Jesus to do for you?
Know what you really want
Ask Him for your highest, grandest dreams
Believe much bigger, much sooner
🙏 Let's Pray
For all these to work, you need one thing: a change of allegiance.
If you already know Jesus personally as Lord and Savior, you are already a child of God and a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, not of this world. You have given Him the authority to invade your life with His glory and power. Let's pray for the grace to know believe much bigger, much sooner.
Dearest Father,
Thank You for asking me what I want You to do for me. I ask You for my biggest, grandest dreams. You alone can make them happen. Help me to believe much bigger, much sooner. I believe and declare: the sooner I can believe You for big things, the sooner You can make big things happen for me
I ask this by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mama Mary, in Jesus’ Name.
If you've not yet received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, and you want to, this is your day. He wants you to give Him your life so He can make you His child and you can have everything in abundance more than you expect until you overflow! Just pray with me:
Dearest Father, forgive me of my sins. Today, I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I give You my life, my everything. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Now you’re all set. Let Jesus inspire and encourage you daily as you grow in your faith and knowledge of how God’s kingdom operates.
