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.
