THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

CHAPTER TWO
REALIZING GOD’S POTENTIAL WITHIN
Lack of realizing God’s given inner potential deprives a person from having the desire and ambition to succeed in life. Such deprivation can also subject a person to a lifestyle that is only obtainable from environmental and circumstantial influences. Many people have ended up in life as victims of circumstances rather than fulfilling their actual dreams and or aspirations.

What does it take to realize ones inner potentials or possibilities? We all need some kind of inspiration as a result of creative awareness, this is only given to people who can submissively humble themselves to be instructed; those who are ready to learn and keep learning. People who are filled with pride are always full of themselves; self controls them and they can hardly desire to improve upon their present estate. They end up living in their predicaments and woes!

Let us consider the testimonies of some Bible characters. Apostle James spoke of Elijah;
“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.” (James 5:17)

Elijah or any great man and woman of God are people ‘with a nature like ours’ and yet they excelled in their God’s given assignments. Every one of us is recreated with the supernatural potential embedded in us. The moment we were born again, it implied an entrance into a new nature; Gods very nature. We can accomplish or succeed in life beyond our natural abilities.

So, even as you read this book, our expectation is for you to be stirred up into a higher consciousness to receive the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and knowledge to do the extraordinary in life. There are many great and marvelous works that have been left undone. But God’s people have preferred the ordinary to the supernatural. And so they have concluded to live within the perspective of impossibilities.

It must not continue to be that way. If people of a nature like ours were able to venture into highly prospective ministries, our places of accomplishing great works are still waiting for us to occupy them.
