Matthew 5:13-16
13. Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the Salt have lost his savour, where with shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under the foot of men
14. Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid
15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.
We are all born into this world with a clean slate, the same unlimited potentials but when we get to the end it may seem that some have been gifted with more potentials than the others.
The why or reason is caused by ignorance, which create limitations and barriers that obscures the full manifestation of our potentials.
What is potential?
Simply, it means when you possess the quality and ability to be useful in future.
I Timothy 2:21
....fit for the Master's use.
Let's not forget, your first potential to be discovered is "fellowship".
God desires fellowship that's why He created you.
Your first service is fellowship with Jehovah.
How can you unbottle your potentials
Every human regardless of colour, gender or any other factor has the ability to uncover potentials embedded inside.
1. Who are my?
You must know who you're, you must identify where you belong and where your headed.
The worse and first enemy us yourself
Know yourself first!
2. Challenge common thought traps.
Romans 12:2
....be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
I read a book by Past Chris Oyakilome titled the power of the mind, I recommend you go check it out.
He said "your the expression of your mind"
Your thinking faculty should be aligned with God's thinking faculty.
Adopt a growth mindset, stir any thoughts that could trap and subject you against God's will.
Life is short so think, just like the clock we place in our homes and wear on our wrist, the seconds interpretation as it progresses is think! think!! think!!! and think!!!!.
3. Set core values and goals.
Whatever you wish and wish to become is very possible, the secret is setting values and follow deligently.
John C. Maxwell said "Decisions help you start and discipline helps you finish"
A dream that is written down becomes a goal and a goal that is broken down into steps becomes a plan and plan that is backed up with an action becomes a reality.
4. Study Jesus.
John 14:6
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life....
Jesus is the true way to success, when you study the Bible you study Jesus cause Jesus is the word, and only that can you uncover your true nature.
Joshua 1:8
.....for thou shall make they way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Action point
Sweet Jesus help me by grace to unbottle my potentials, Amen
