THE SPIRIT IN YOU
The last restraint I want to talk about is displacement of finances. Money is the answer to all things (Ecclesiastes 10: 19), and it is extremely important for unleashing your potential. Money should be used to invest in your dreams and perfecting your abilities, gifts and talents, but to say the least; we live in a world where more emphasis is placed on chasing the dollar and squandering it rather than investing it to build wealth for ourselves and future generations to fulfill our divine mandate. Do not misunderstand what I am saying, of course, money is a means of exchange for commodities. We should desire to have extremely nice things, but your priorities are not in perspective when you have things and every area in your life is falling apart. It falls apart when you are not walking in God's perfect will for your life and you have placed restraints on unleashing your potential God has given every living thing a purpose, especially mankind. We have no right to stagnate it by allowing the wrong people, our mindsets, and displacement of our monetary resources to hold us back. We have the potential to be all that God intended for us to be and soar as far as our dreams will take us. How big will you allow your dreams to be? Will you allow yourself to be utilized in these end times or are you going to allow restraints to keep you in bondage? Unleash your potential. Allow your potential to glorify God, justify your existence and serve mankind---fulfill your purpose.
Another reason is our own mindset --- close-mindedness to the idea of becoming the best we can be. In fact, many people are only doing the bare minimum to get by in life. They do not like challenges and all they want to do is be comfortable doing what they do, which is for the most part just holding down a nine to five job and obtaining material things for gratification. The average person is just that, average, because they do not aspire to do anything. If you do not believe me look at the state of our nation. The crime, the unwanted pregnancies, unfaithful spouses, Aids and other sexually transmitted diseases, terrorism, corruption in government, lack of morality, and I can go on and on. People who are focused on fulfilling their purpose by unleashing their potential do not engage in activities I just mentioned. They are too busy investing in themselves and others. They spend every day discovering themselves and bettering themselves. They fully understand that they are here to serve mankind, not destroy mankind and themselves.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he; (Proverbs 23:7a)
