what good is unutilised potential?

God is not so much interested in you capabilities or gifts neither is He interested in your resources because He gave them to you. Waht He is interested in is what you do with the resources, are you being productive or counter productive.



 we have wasted so much time looking at what we have and we have failed to put it to use. potential energy has got no value, what matters is kinetic energy. in Zimbabwe we have heard it said so many times that we as a nation have the 'potential" to be the wealthiest and most productive nation in sub saharan africa and because we were happy with that potential we are still in the same place.



 we might wonder why the church is not growing and in fact it is shrinking...it is because we have too many people that are content with having the potential but they never utilise that potential. When Jesus called Peter to be His disciple; he told him that he shall be a fisher of men . which means that Peter had the potential to be a great evangelist but he did not become that until he utilised that potential on pentecost.



 you too have the potential to be a gerat leader but that does not make you one. you have a role to play to bring that potential out. God wants us to use our gifts and to praphrase the words of Jesus in john 20v 15 "if you love me, you will feed my sheep" simple.



 if we want our lives to have meaning we too must use the potential that we have and feed God"s sheep. we are where we are for such a time as this and if we do not start doing the work that we were called to do..."do not imagine that you in the kings palace can escape anymore than all the others. forr if YOU remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the jews from ANOTHER place and you and your father's house will perish. and who knows if you have attained royalty (salvation) for such a time as this?" Esther 4v 13-14



 you have to make up your mind, Queen Esther had the potential to save the jews but until she used it that potential was useless and in fact she also was useless and without purporse. what i am saying is if you remain content with potential then you are useless and without purpose or value....we value the potential that is being used, we value kinetic energy more than potential and that is the same with God..



 take stock, are you just potential lying there or...
