Last Sunday night we finished the series of Extraordinary. It’s all about living all that we are meant to as children of God. It’s good to know the limits of our natural abilities. It is also good to maximize those abilities, by following the tenants of good health, by exercising our abilities to keep them sharp, by discovering and developing them. There is considerable focus on such maximization in our world. If we are not living up to our potential in the physical, intellectual or emotional, it’s usually our lazyness. God has gifted us differently, but we are responsible for putting the gifts He has given to maximum use.
Unlike our natural abilities, the promises of God are back by all the goodness and power of the universe. “If we have received the Holy Spirit, God expects the work of the Holy Spirit to be exhibited in us.”
“Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God. Is God able to fulfill His promises? Our answer depends on whether or not we have received the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit within brings great possibility. It is still up to us, and our free will, to surrender to Him and to be fully used.
If our lives are not Extraordinary, it’s not because of the weakness of His promises. It’s the laziness of our spirit.
