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.
