Limitations are obstacles and barriers designed to
keep a person, people, families, communities, businesses and nations from
moving to their God ordained heights in life. Limitations vary – they can be man-made, self made or satanically engineered. Permit me to say that satanically engineered
limitations are easier to dislodge if a person is in Christ Jesus and living
right. But self made limitations are especially difficult to dislodge as they
are strongholds in a person’s mental processes that only the truth of the Word
of God can dislodge. For this to happen, a person has to believe and accept the
truth of God’s Word as final so that the self made limitations can be
dislodged.
That is why I dare to say that what you hold on to,
to an extent is an evidence of the height you have purposed to remain in and
that to a large extent determines how far you want to get to in life.
Holding on to something you consider very dear or
important can constitute a major limitation to your progress and increase. That
is why giving up limitations is the fastest way to increase and progress. Giving
up limitations is also a way of stretching your faith, trusting God to take you
to a higher altitude in life. Do away with limitations by giving up that thing
which God wants you to give up. Otherwise it becomes a stronghold which
barricades your progress. Significantly, such things may not necessarily be
money, talents, skills, expertise, time and material resources for the work of
God.
They could be relationships that God wants you to
walk away from because they do not add value to your life and they hinder your
total commitment and full consecration to God. Certain habits and activities
that do not bring glory to God, do not
edify you, attitudes that do not reflect the life of Christ, established ways
of doing things that do not move you forward, what people say that is contrary
to Scripture that you accept and internalize, holding on to what you think and
believe is of value because people say so, holding on to tradition and beliefs
that are contrary to Scripture also constitute limitations to your progress. For
instance, holding on to a property on account of its supposedly strategic
location can constitute a major limitation especially if that property is not
God’s best for you and real location for you or your business.
Holding on to what you do not need but which someone
else needs is also a form of limitation especially when you know that someone
needs it. This however is not sacrificial giving. It is doing away with a
limitation so that you can move forward to Success Street. See you there.
Shalom.
