Story: On 28th August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC Martin Luther King gave his famous speech “I have a dream”.
Who then would have dared to dream that 50 years later we would have had an African American President.
Yet it was Martin Luther King’s dream that I believe had much to do with Barak Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States.
We need people who are willing to swim countercurrent to the popular mood, when inspired by God.
We need those who dream of God’s Kingdom coming here on earth.
It was the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who wrote:
"If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away. "
Who is the drummer that we are listening to?
