Do you know you only use a small fraction of your brain? Truth be told, you can’t even fathom your full potential. Not even your parents, your spouse, your friends, your boss know. Only your Creator knows.
Truth be told, You don’t need more intelligence. You only need to use more of the intelligence you already have!
This is why you need to cling to God to unleash your
true potential because only God, the one who made you, knows all you are capable of being.
Most people live for the approval of others.
They spend all of their time worrying about what others think of them. Your
life may have been limited by replaying tapes in your head of people who lied
to you. They may not even mean to have lied to you, but they did anyway.
They’ve told you that you can’t do something, you’re not as smart as…or that
you shouldn't even bother because you’re not worth much anyway.
You’ve played these tapes over and over in
your mind. But they’re lies! The people who made those statements about you
have no idea about your potential. You have to talk to your Creator for that.
Only he knows what he can do through your
life. And only he can unlock that potential.
How Exactly Does He Do It?
The Lord frees us through his Word. Jesus said this in John 8:31-32: “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (NLT). God’s Word will unlock all you’ve been made to do and be. Through it, you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible.
How do you do that?
- Learn God’s Word. God won’t unlock your potential until you actually open
the Bible and learn it. You won’t unlock potential by osmosis. You’ll
start to do it by learning what the Bible says (What it says about you).
- Accept God’s Word. The Bible has to be the authority in your life. You may
not like what you’re reading, but — if you want God’s best for your life —
you need to accept what it says as the final authority for how you live.
- Obey God’s Word. You can’t just learn God’s Word and accept God’s Word. You have to do what the Bible teaches. You don’t get blessed for the parts of the Bible you know. You get blessed for the parts of the Bible you do. “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings… John 8:31b. Act on the word and you will see results.
You were made for much more than you ever
imagined. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “What God has
planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard.
It has never even entered our minds!” (CEV)
So open up God’s Word, and get ready to be
that intelligent person eyes are yet to see and eyes to hear. Be that person, only
God can imagine. Unleash your full potential today!
