Accessing Your Hidden Potential By Pastor David Ibiyeomie
TOPIC: Accessing Your Hidden Potential
God has freely given to you everything you are looking for in life but you need to relate with the Spirit of God to be able to have access to them.
2 Peter 1:3 –3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
There is nothing you are looking for that God has not given to you; including the money you need to start that business but the challenge is the ability for you to identify what God has given to you.
Believing to use what you don’t have for the next phase of success is actually a trap of the devil. God wants you to start with what you have and not with what is not available. Jesus had 5,000 men to feed but there was no food. He did not go looking for something far away; He had to use what was available to meet the need of that time which were 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
John 6:6 -And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
The reason many people are frustrated is because they don’t know what to do. If you know what to do with what you have, you will always overcome any challenge in business.
2Kings 4:1-2 – Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2 And Elisha said unto her, what shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.
So I ask you – what do you have around you? What is the divine endowment in you?
There is nobody who has nothing. There is something you have that you have not seen. God will always use what you have to create what you want. Your future success is in the present thing that is available right now; not in what is not available. Stop looking at what you don’t have yet; your success is right in what is available. God will not use what you don’t have to take you to your future; He will use what you have to take you to your next phase.
Consciously remove the ‘Not enough mentality” from your mind. Despising what is in your hand is actually destroying your future. What you have may not be enough in your physical eyes but with the supernatural grace of God on it, it is enough to start with if you can think and plan well.
If you can think enough, what you have is enough to start with because everything that God will use to lift mankind is hidden in another thing. The money you are looking for is hidden in something that you have. The widow’s wealth was hidden in the oil; it was the oil God multiplied for her to pay her debt. So, what you are looking for is hidden inside what you have now and God has given you to ability to discern and search it out.
Every financial and business success is hidden inside you, around you or in what is available now in your hands. There are people you will meet and your lifting will spring from them; so, it is not looking far but the ability to discern what is available now for your future.
Every potential is hidden in something. Until you recognize the potential that you carry, your future is not secured. For instance, the financial prosperity of your tomorrow is hidden in your seed today; refusing to sow the seed today is rejecting the harvest of tomorrow. A man who cannot see the potential of the seed in his hand today is destroying his harvest of tomorrow. Hence, see greatness inside what you have now.
The orange tree is actually hidden in the orange seed; throwing away the seed is throwing away an orange tree. Stop seeing life from the angle of obstacles; start seeing life from the angle of miracles. Stop seeing life from the angle of problems; start seeing life from the angle of promises. Stop seeing life from the angle of breakdown; start seeing life from the angle of breakthroughs.
Your ability to identify your hidden potential is what makes you great and takes you to your next phase. Stop wishing you have something; look at what is already available to you.
Most times, people wish they have more than what they already have. Stop wishing that you have more. See what that seed carries because your destiny is in what is available.
Bill Gates started his computer business with $200; so, it is not money that you need but you should be able to know what that seed carries. Start with what you have now and you will prosper in Jesus name!
Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see the potential in you; your future depends on it. Look inwards; there is something you have waiting to be harnessed. Use the available to obtain what you want.
You will not fail in life! You will not fail in your career! You will not fail in your business! You will succeed in the name of Jesus!!!
God bless you
