TOPIC: Maximize Your Potential (TREM Devotional 27 February 2026)
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” – Ephesians 5:15–17 (KJV)
MESSAGE
The late Dr. Myles Munroe once said that “the richest place on earth is the graveyard”, because there lie countless unwritten books, unsung songs, and unfulfilled dreams.
Beloved, God never intended for your potential to die with you. His plan is that you maximise all He has deposited within you and become everything He has ordained you to be.
Do not be slothful or negligent with your God-given gifts. This was the state of the lazy man described in Proverbs: “I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.” – Proverbs 24:30–31 (KJV).
This is exactly how many handle their divine potential; neglected, overgrown, and unfruitful. The potential you refuse to cultivate can never be maximised. God saved you and filled you with His Spirit so that you can access divine wisdom and bring heavenly realities into the natural realm.
As believers, we are uniquely privileged to communicate directly with God. We can draw from heaven’s resources and manifest them on earth. Yet, many believers remain spiritually idle, neglecting the Word, forsaking fellowship, and losing their fire.
They say, “I have arrived,” but in truth, they have grown cold. What a dangerous place to be!
Beloved, until you engage fully; spiritually, mentally, and physically, you can never maximise your potential. Stir yourself up! Redeem the time! Refuse to let laziness rob you of destiny. You carry greatness within you; don’t let it die unused.
