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)

Meditate on Words that Bring Life.

H ow you think about life results in the quality of life you live. Your thoughts are important, so meditate on words that bring life. In spite of all the obstacles I have faced in my life, one of the things that have kept me going are these words the Lord spoke to me when I was much younger “you have creative power within you, and everything you touch will prosper.” These words have been my guide in my ups and downs. I held on to these words as truth and life. I believe everything God has spoken to me and I know His words will never return void. I choose to meditate on words which bring life.  As a Christian I choose to meditate on the words of God. I also listen to godly-men and woman who are leading successful lives based on biblical principles. I read books and listen to audio messages which fosters positive encouragements and personal developments. I also write my own affirmations and speak positive things over myself at times. Most times than o...

Jeremiah 29:10-13 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.  11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Most people in life can trace their family line as far back as four generations. Yet some of us don’t know our biological parents much more to know our grand-parents. Ever since I was a child I always heard my mom and her sisters talked about their parents as if it was some kind of mysterious fairy-tale.  Though my mother and her three siblings are of the same mother and father, it is a mystery to me how two of them ended up with different last n...

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.
