How to Develop your Potentials

"Yes, Mum," Kelvin shouted as loud as clinging cymbals, "I see it clearly now."

His mother had pointed to the small but bright star in the night clouds as she shot her hands in its direction to her son, Kelvin, a 4-year-old, highly inquisitive but impatient. Kelvin had decided to count the stars before he went to bed, a habit he picked up from his favorite cartoon, "Jully in the Mysterious Night Woods." He believed the stars were more than constellations but a creation of excellent illumination. His mother had told him there were seven, but he argued with that, as he had only counted six. But just as his mother pointed toward a tiny star hidden behind a big bright star, he exclaimed in total agreement.

Like Kelvin, we all have perspectives on various concepts of living, and when it comes to deciphering your potential, it is inevitable to do so yourself. why? because you didn't create yourself. only the manufacturer knows best the purpose and potentials of his creations. Like Kelvin's mum, when we yield to the creator's intention, we exclaim as Kelvin did in great joy, "Now I see myself clearly."

5 Strategic Keys to Discover Your Potentials.

1. Do you know your source?

   The Source of a thing not only sustains it but equips it. When an automobile mechanic sets out to build a car, he equips it to function for its purpose. You are who you are because of why you are. Understanding your source fuels the proper knowledge to enlighten your capacity to function. You must desire and have a life-changing encounter with your creator for you to reflect His divinity to humanity.

2. How have you been wired?

   The function of a thing is connected to its structure. This means your wiring in gifts and abilities is not for fun alone but to solve and serve an eternal purpose much more significant than you. To understand your function is to pay attention to your internal and external features. For instance, one unique feature man was created to have is faith. You were designed to live by faith with eternity in your hearts. Nothing substantial can bring fulfillment until this faith finds fulfillment when put in your creator.; not the whole money in the world or fame. Your ability to discover your potential depends on your willingness to live from God's perspective.

3. What have you been given?

   Provision to a project is because of the Potential that must be used. In other words, you possess God's given resources so you can use your potential to make a profit. Effectively using these resources will reveal your potential, but its misuse will only bring destruction. Since God did not create anyone without potentials, he is committed to sustaining you with His provisions. This means that your resources of good association, ideas for innovative creations, resources of time and space, knowledge, and monetary values are all for developing and deploying your potential. How committed are you to the management of these resources? Skillful use will equal great significant profit to yourself and to your creator.

4. Start from where you are.

   Go to work with how you have been wired and what you have been given. Many times, as humans, we think it's greener on the other side of the yard. Even if that might not be wrong it is so because that person gave attention in terms of growth and grace to what he already has. No one stumbles into purpose accidentally; it is an intentional act of first acknowledging God and using His grace for His glory. So, no more excuses, God has endowed you, you are not empty, so get to work. Ask yourself, what can I do with what I have for the profit of services to God and to others?

5. Where are you now?

   Your potential will only thrive in the right environment that breeds increase. Are you in the right association and location that will unlock your potential? Who are the top five people you spend most of your time with? Do they awaken your deepest and truest authentic lives or are they intimidated by your rising?
