Do you know that each one of us is born with a seed of “God potential” within us? I believe it’s part of what God was doing when He says in the Bible, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
I believe that God has planted this seed of potential in our hearts and I believe that seed cries out for water. Have you ever felt empty? Longing for something but you didn’t quite know what it was? Have you ever tried to fill that desire with relationships, parties, work, or shopping, only to find yourself more empty than when you began?
I know I have been there. The truth is your seed of God potential longs for interaction with its Creator; it longs to be awakened and it longs to be watered.
That seed of God potential lies dormant until it interacts with God, its Creator. Once it is awakened, it is our job to water it and give it every opportunity to flourish.
I remember my life before my God potential was awakened. I was searching and longing for something. I didn’t know what it was and I didn’t know how to find out. Then one day, that interaction with my Creator happened and the seed of my God potential began to grow. What a life-changing day that was!
So how do you water your God potential?
- Position yourself in the right environments: Just as a natural seed can only grow in the right soil or environment, so it is for your seed of God potential. For instance, every year I position myself at Colour Conference where women from all over Africa gather in Cape Town to have their worth discovered and their potential watered. Make sure you position yourself in environments that encourage the greatness that is within to rise up.
- Water your potential: Just like a natural seed needs water, so does the seed of our potential. Frequent interaction with your Creator is one such way to water it. Find a great church to belong to, talk to God in prayer, and read the Bible. All great ways to water your God-potential.
The greatness that God planted inside of you needs to be awakened. Our continent needs us to rise up as the men and women God created us to be and be the change in this world. Africa is waiting, it’s time to rise up!
The first step to seeing your God potential flourish is a life-changing interaction and encounter with your Creator, God. This happened for me in 1998 and it can happen for you, too. To find out more, please click on the pop up banner or on the link below. We would love to talk more with you.
