We all know the story of the big elephant that refuses to pull off the tree to which it was tied simply because it was unable to do it when it was small.
The same way we have a lot of potentials embedded in us but out of fear, laziness, past failures, we have limited ourselves and failed to express the reality of our personalities.
Let me use a practical example for the sake of understanding. Jesus was born to be the savior of the world, Satan tempted him but Jesus prevailed. Let’s say Jesus fell to the temptation, does that mean that he wasn’t born to be the savior of the world? Far from it, it only means he failed on the part of being a savior, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t born a savior.
Another example, GOD has given Goliath to the hands of the Israelites but there was a need for someone to summon the courage to face him, had it been David didn’t rise up to the battle and the Israelites were defeated, does that mean GOD had not delivered him to their hands? Far from it. No one to take it up.
Abraham Lincoln fought slavery in the US, if he had been silent, or if he had not taken it up upon himself, we won’t be celebrating him today, that doesn’t rule out the fact that he had the ability to stop slavery, he may only choose not to utilize it.
I think my point has been made.
You are great, you are powerful but you need to work it out for expression, if you don’t, it doesn’t mean you aren’t great, it only means you are a great person that failed, that makes you a great failure.
Arise, and express the potentials in you, walk in the realities of your identity, in the abilities of your personalities. You are great, you are powerful, ONLY YOU CAN STOP YOU.
