Success does not fall on anyone like a bag of
cherries. It is also not a catch phrase to be thrown around. Success comes by
being engaged in divine purposes that are built, enhanced and consolidated over a period of
time.
Every vision or idea is a function of capacity. That
is to say that capacity precedes the implementation of every idea or vision.
For every assignment, there must be relevant capacity from heaven to carry out
the task. This is because visions are driven on the basis of capacity and not passion.
Passion is not a substitute for capacity as a lack of capacity will show up in
capacity gaps as you implement your ideas or vision without adequate capacity.
A person’s capacity acquired or received is a measure of a person’s gifted ability to perform a task or assignment. Therefore, always evaluate your capacity to midwife a vision or assignment to a successful end. Have sufficient capacity before embarking on implementation. If you discover that you lack capacity, or your capacity requires strengthening then be willing to put your vision on hold until you have sufficient capacity to midwife the vision. It is a misconception to think that capacity comes with the vision. The vision comes and then you receive the capacity to implement the vision by beginning a process of capacity acquisition through capacity building and strengthening activities based on your capacity evaluation. Please see Luke Chapter 14 verse 28.
Capacity can be built by the anointing, education,
skills acquisition, mentoring programs, etc. The anointing confers special
skills. The anointing is the Holy Spirit at work to help you accomplish purpose
and considering that success is the ability to fulfill divine purpose, you
definitely need the anointing. The anointing will give you visibility and all
the blessings you require for extraordinary success. A case in point is in 2nd
Chronicles Chapter 1 verses 10 to 12.
Jesus Christ mentored the twelve apostles and asked
them to wait to be empowered by the Holy Spirit before launching out to start
the early Church. They complied and were capacitated for this assignment that
birthed the Church. Please see Acts Chapter 1 verses 4 to 9. Elijah mentored
Elisha; the Apostle Paul mentored Timothy, Titus, John Mark and a number of
other people who served in the numerous Churches he planted in his first and
second missionary journeys. A study of the book of Acts will give you further
insight.
Only God knows the extent of His purposes in your
life, therefore He alone knows the capacity you require to fulfill the purpose.
Therefore, get empowered through the acquisition of adequate capacity for the
work God calls you to do. That way, you will definitely excel and be
successful. See you at Success Street. Shalom.
