Never Look on Your Limitations


Stay focus on your abilities rather than your inabilities. Staying focus on your capabilities is an important factor in becoming successful in life. You must remain focus on what you have. Never look on your limitations. Instead of focusing on the “have nots” focus on the things you have and can do. Let what you have work for you.  

Every day I use the knowledge I have acquired to maintain success in my purpose. If I was to focus on all the “have nots” in life I would not be writing to encourage you today. I have discovered a greater joy in using what I have to help others instead of focusing on what I do not have or cannot do. I put my trust in God to accomplish my purpose, knowing that with Him there are no limitations.

Don’t limit your possibilities of being successful because you don’t think you have anything of value. God has given each of us a gift, it is our ability to influence others. There are no limits to your success when you know your scope of influence. Your capacity for success is not based on what you have but how you use what you have. In the Bible Jesus tells the story of a ruler who was going on a trip and called three of his servants and gave each one talents (money). To the first he gave five talents, to the second servant he gave two talents and he gave one talent to the third servant. After a long time the ruler returned from his trip, he called each of his servants to enquire what they have done with the talents he had given them. The servant who received five talents traded with them and gained five more talents. The second servant who had two talents did the same and received two more talents also. The servant who received one talent didn’t think he had enough to do anything so instead of making what he had work for him, he buried his talent. When the ruler called, him he dug it out of the ground and gave it back to the ruler. The ruler considered his first two servants faithful stewards, but the third servant he considered to be a wicked servant, because he didn’t even put the talent in the bank to gain interest. Therefore, he took the talent from him and gave it to the servant who he had given five talents. (Matthew 25:14-29)

If you don’t use what you have it cannot be profitable to you. In moments when you find yourself thinking of what you don’t have, start doing something with what you have. Value what you have. Don’t limit yourself. Focus on your possibilities.  


TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
What do you have in your hand? Make a list of at least five skills that you have. Of the five skills which is your strongest? What are you doing with it to help others? Are you making it work for you or, do you complain of not having enough?


QUOTE OF THE DAY
“God can only use what you give to Him.”

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:2-3 (NKJV)

DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!

                My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time.  When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out." What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath. Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured.  Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

ENDURE TO THE END Scripture Reading Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 2012 has been an interesting year, 2013 will be even a more interesting one.  It is always easy to begin something new with zeal and passion but when situations arise it becomes hard to endure.  Many times we face unexpected problems and because we don’t know how to deal with them we give up and loose hope.     Nonetheless, it will be a prosperous year for those who can endure to the end. The race is not for the swift nor the battle for the strong,  Ecclesiastes 9:11 .  As believers we will suffer many things for the sake of the Gospel. Men will revile us and persecute us without a cause.  It is the plan of the enemy to hold us captive and cause us to lose sight of the future that God has prepared for us. He will do everything to destroy us.  One of his most effective tool since creation has been deception.  In  Genesis 3:1-7 ; it was Satan’s ability to make ...

RECLAIMING OUR COMMUNITY When we think about the condition of our communities we are not just fighting against guns and gang violence, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. In order to reclaim our community we must first recognize the source of the problem, confront the problem, and then conquer the problem.                                                            Recognize—Confront—Conquer The War Against Violence This war against violence is not just a physical one, it is also a spiritual war. In the physical realm we need to bond together and say no longer will we allow the violence to take over our community. It will take everyone corporation. On the spiritual aspect of the war we need to understand that our fight is not against the gang members but against the spirit of murder that is driving our young peop...
