You are capable of so much more!
You are capable of so much more than you are aware of.
One man who was in dire need once said to Jesus Christ, “If you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
Jesus’ response was quite interesting, He said to the man, “‘If you can?’ Everything is possible for him who believes.” [Mark 9:23]
Essentially, Jesus said to the man, “It’s not a matter of whether I can or not, but whether you can believe. Your miracle is more a matter of your own faith, than of my ability or inability.” This is because God’s power and life-creating force is already present within you!
God’s will is already set for you – He wants the best for you.
It is now your responsibility to harness this divine power within you to create your own miracles.
Unfortunately, most of us tend to underestimate and undervalue our self worth, potentials, and capabilities. Majority of people on this planet today discard their dreams and positive desires because they think they are not capable of realizing those dreams. Yet, God will never put dreams in your heart without the capacity and ability to translate those dreams into realities. It doesn’t matter what you think about this, you are capable of so much more than you are aware of.
Because God is within you and has willed the best life for you, you are capable of so much more than you are aware of. The time has come for you to awake from your spiritual and mental indolence, take possession of your inner powers and create the life of your dreams. God has already given you the power to do this, but you must believe in yourself too.
What excuses could be holding you back from moving on into the life you can live?
Scared? Are you scared of failing, maybe because the last time you tried you failed? Are you scared of other’s opinion? What fear is holding you back? I pray that it’s hold upon you be broken right now, in Jesus name! Don’t be scared. Because God is within you and has willed the best life for you, you are capable of so much more!
Doubtful? Are you in doubt of your own capacity to achieve your dreams? Are you in doubt of God’s faithfulness in your life? Listen, He is a God of integrity. When He promises, He never fails, if you dare to trust Him. God never fails! Let every demon of doubt vanish from your heart today, in Jesus name! Don’t doubt. Because God is within you and has willed the best life for you, you are capable of so much more!
Lack? You probably think you lack the know-how to realize your potentials. Well, go get the know how! If you lack the skills, go and acquire them, or find a way to persuade or pay someone with the skills to do stuff for you. But don’t sit down there complaining of lack of skill. You don’t need to have the expertise of a rocket scientist to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. As a matter of fact, as a child of God, “His divine power HAS GIVEN us EVERYTHING we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” ~ 2 Peter 1:3 So, get up and put the power within you to work!
Time? Maybe you don’t have enough time. Really? Everybody has the same number of hours each day, and there are millions with more on their plate than anything you can imagine, yet they manage to get things done and achieve their dreams. Without comparing yourself to anybody, you can take charge of your own daily allotment of 24 hours and make miracles with each hour!
Ok. Enough of my own list. I need to read your thoughts on this. What are the usual and unusual excuses that hold people back from moving on to the life that they desire and dream of? Have you ever been held back from pursuing your dreams as a result of any excuses?

I have several different excuses, but I learned how to overcome them by pushing myself to work harder and ask God to give me the strength and knowledge to do so. I used to have a negative thought when I was in school, because math so so difficult for me so I would say “I CAN’T do it, it’s too hard” and now “I CAN!” I also learned that sometimes when someone in your life have given you that negative energy it builds up so I learned that just because someone tells me something that is negative, I would turn around and make it positive. Another one was, health excuses; when I was in my final year of high school, many of my interpreters and teachers all made a bet that I would miss more than 50 days of school in the entire school year. Well, I turned around and I went to school everyday and haven’t missed more than 5 days. I learned that sometimes when someone gives you negative thoughts or energy can be a good thing to push you to work harder or stay healthier. With God at my side, nothing is impossible. Now, some things are hard for me, like enunciating words that I never heard before or struggled with, people would help me by correcting me. I often give up on trying to say it right when they knew exactly what I was talking about. But I learned that every little bit helps. Help from God, help from family and friends.

Your ability to work harder and stay healthier in spite of all the negative thoughts and energies that surrounded you as you grew up is definitely a special gift from God and a sign of His presence in your life. That makes me happy.
So keep growing, keep learning, and keep praising God! Stay grateful for His help and for family and friends. God bless you, and thanks for your comments.

forgot to answer the first one too: I would say the number one thing that holds people back from achieving their dreams or having any successes is because they think Negative and not Positive… If they think Negative you can’t get anywhere, but the more you think Positive the more successful you’ll become…

1.Lack of self esteem (was scared).
Thanx for your prayers. Now have been reminded. (Isaiah 41:10) So do not fear, for Iam with you.
2.Laziness.
It’s a pitty. Spirit so willing but flesh heavy.
But Father, you said you are a hammer that breaks the hardest rock.
Excuse me satan it is written my father is like a hammer that breaks even the hardest rock. I crush down the demon of laziness from my body by the power in the word of God. Father I thank you through Jesus Christ, for it is done, Amen.
