A person’s resource to a large extent is the
reflection of his or her capacity. In the parable of talents recorded in
Matthew Chapter 25 verses 13 to, the Bibles states that the servants each received
gifts according to their abilities. This implies that their master identified
their pre-existing capacities or abilities and matched them with the required resources
for their enlargement. Enlargement is therefore a function of a person’s
capacity. That is to say that increase in resources is dependent on increased
capacity to manage the resources effectively. Enlargement of resources is
therefore correspondent to enlarged capacities. Please see Isaiah Chapter 54
verses 1 to 3.
That perhaps explains why God will not expect you to
jump at a responsibility you have no capacity to handle. Therefore, evaluate
your personal capacity in the light of the enlargement you seek so that you
should expand and enhance your existing capacities to accommodate whatever
enlargement you require from God. This implies that personal capacity
development is very important.
To enlarge, you stretch and as you stretch, enlargement
grows because God will keep enlarging you as you stretch your capacities. The
human capacity is elastic and can be stretched to whatever dimensions you are
capable of stretching it to. Please see Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14 to 18. The
ability to stretch is as much the work of the Holy Spirit as much as your own
diligence to enhance your personal capacity and competence to the desired
height. It is important that you increase your mental, spiritual and physical
capacities.
Mental capacities for instance are elastic; therefore
stretch your mental capacities in order to enhance your mental competence such
as the ability to think in terms of speed, creativity, innovativeness and decisiveness.
It is also pertinent that you ask yourself critical questions; for instance,
what is your present mental capacity and can that capacity deliver purpose, the
reason you exist on planet earth? Every serious assignment God gives you
requires mental diligence and high level mental competence. To maintain and sustain
any great enlargement, you must be mentally intelligent, diligent and
competent. What makes a person expensive to hire is his or mental competence,
especially the ability to think and solve problems. Therefore, improve on your
skills to become more marketable, wealthy and successful. Refuse to be a local
champion. Rather, develop your mental capacities to match the demands of the
environment you desire to compete in. Please see 2nd Timothy Chapter
2 verse 15 where the Apostle Paul instructed Timothy to study. See also Romans
Chapter 12 verse 2. Beloved, STUDY; expand your mental horizons and also
acquire some new skills. You never can tell when those skills will come in very
handy.
Additionally, enhance your spiritual capacity. Grow
from being a babe to an adult who knows what to do and how to do it. God will
definitely enlarge your coast but do not allow your spiritual incapacitation to
derail it. Be spiritually wise enough to stand firm in faith. It is impossible
to grow spiritually beyond the level of the word of God in you. Therefore do
something fast to improve your word study on a daily basis. Please see Hebrews
Chapter 5 verses 12 to 14.
Also important is the enhancement of your physical
capacities. This means that you develop the capacity to remain healthy and
energetic. You need a healthy body to accommodate the enlargement God is
bringing your way. Therefore, do all that God requires of you to keep your body
healthy and God will always honor His part of ensuring that no sickness or
disease comes to attack and destroy your body. Please see Psalm 105 verse 37.
Do not compromise your healthy. Eat well, rest well, exercise regularly and be
clean.
Also invest in quality relationships and as much as
possible, live at peace with everyone you interact with.
Thank you for reading this post to this point. As you
close, please pray this prayer for yourself and your loved ones. Father, please
increase my mental, spiritual and physical capacities to prosper and
accommodate the great increase you are bringing my way, Lord in Jesus mighty
name; thank You for answered prayers, Amen.
