Dreams FC he added, is on course to giving a good account this season and believes that with their current form, they could do well at the end of the season.

“The confidence in our side is high and we hope our form will see us through to the end of the season,” he added, insisting that they should not be taken for granted anymore.

GPL Preview: Debutants Dreams FC faces stern test at Cape Coast against Dwarfs

Promoted Dreams FC will make their debut in the Ghanaian top-flight league at Cape Coast on Sunday when they play as guests of Ebusua Dwarfs at the Robert Mensah Stadium.

The Kweiman based club will hope to get their season off to a great start with a win when they come up against one of the traditional sides in Ghana football.

They gained promotion to the Ghanaian premiership by winning the second tier league in Zone Three amid some controversy, and, will look to put that behind them as they compete for attention.

Coach Charles K. Akunnor seems to have done a pretty decent job in preparing his charges for the start of the season, and, their readiness will be put to the test as they visit Cape Coast to take on Dwarfs.

Dreams FC lost their final pre-season friendly to Accra Hearts of Oak with whom they played two games at the Dawu Park last Sunday. They will hope that setback won’t affect their fortunes in Sunday’s season opener.

Winning in at the Robert Mensah Stadium will not come easy as Dwarfs are very formidable on home soil and will themselves like to kick-off their campaign on a high with a win.

The advantage is with them as they play at home and their coach Joseph E. Sarpong has said they intend to make the Robert Mensah Stadium a fortress for visiting team next season.

This certainly makes the task confronting Dreams FC a huge one and they will have to play at their maximum if they hope to come away with anything from this game.

Dwarfs suffered relegation from the premiership two seasons ago, but, have made a quick return to the elite division after they won the Division One Zone Two national league.

Fans that will turn up at the Robert Mensah Stadium on Sunday should therefore have something to chear about as Dreams FC look to register their first point(s) in the top-flight league against a side that is determined to make the most of their home advantage.

Gawu qualified Dreams FC to the premiership- Communication Director.

Communications Director of Dreams FC, Henry Asante Twum has commended Eric Gawu for playing a starring role in the club’s qualifications to the Premiership.

The astute sports journalist attributed his side’s monstrous run to the top flight league solely to the individual contribution of their veteran attacker both on and off the pitch.

Dreams FC sealed their ticket to the 2016 season at the first time of asking in the second tier league.

Eric Gawu, who made his name whiles plying his trade in Kumasi with King Faisal, returned to the domestic scene after an unsuccessful stint in Europe.

The gargling centre forward has since led the lines superbly well for CK Akunnors dominant Dreams FC at the Kweiman park en route to their premiership status.

Asante Twum  aligned their progress to the leadership qualities of their experience forward who has inspired the playing staff in leaps and bounds.

He commended Gawu for the self disciplined nature and courteous approach to staff members.

Heny Asante told sports crusader, “Eric Gawu is still a very big player for us. He might not be as strong as he was in the years ago but he has been very useful to us. Eric Gawu is one of the reasons why we are in the Premier league today”.

On his contribution to the young players in the side, Henry heaped kind words on his veteran forward.

“He is a shining example to the young players. He is very disciplined, reports to training very early and uses himself as an example anytime he is with the players. He is our signing of the season as a club. We shall count on Gawu a lot whichever formation the coach chooses to play”.

Gawu qualified Dreams FC to the premiership- Communication Director.

What Faith Does to Your Dreams By Rick Warren

“Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.” (Ephesians 3:20 TLB)

Faith turns God-given dreams into reality. Nothing happens until somebody starts dreaming!

The Bible is full of people who had God-given dreams. Abraham dreamed of being the father of a great nation. Moses dreamed of setting God’s people free. Joseph dreamed of saving a nation and his own family. Throughout Scripture, there are all kinds of people who were inspiring dreamers, like Daniel and Paul and David.

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” (TLB).

Now, if there were ever a “blank check” verse in the Bible, that’s it. God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask. What are you afraid to ask God for? He is able to do far more than we could even dream of.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a pretty big dreamer. I can think of some pretty big dreams I’ve had in my lifetime. God says, “Warren, think of the greatest thing you could ever dream of, the greatest thing you think I could do in your life. Guess what? I can top that.”

If there were tears in Heaven, it would simply be because we would get there and realize all the things that we could have done if we had just believed God a little bit more. To me that would be Hell! Hell for me would be being shown everything I could have accomplished and become as a husband, a father, and a pastor if I had just believed God a little bit more.

But there aren’t any tears in Heaven, and God gives you everything you need right now to accomplish what he has planned for you. I want to challenge you to dream big about your relationships, your marriage, your family, and your career. Your faith can turn those dreams into reality, because God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask or even dream.

Talk It Over

How do you know if your dreams are from God?

What does it mean practically to apply faith to your dreams?

Why don’t all of our dreams turn into reality?
