"Beware of no man more than yourself; we carry our worst enemy within us" - Charles Spurgeon

ou are your own limitations. When you look into the mirror, the person hindering your going forward is exactly the person looking straight at you in that mirror. What we need sometimes is just to make that decision and take that step for our lives to turn around but so many times we are laid back, we don't want to 'ruffle any feathers' we are complacent and not ready to move. If you do not move, God will not move you. It is said that through perseverance, the snail got into the ark. You cannot sit in a place and expect the result you have only dreamt about. What do you have in your hands? God is a specialist in using what we have in our hands and turning this into a huge blessing. The rod in the hands of Moses became a mighty tool of deliverance. The jawbone in the hands of Samson became a weapon of war. The little cruise of oil in the hands of the widow brought in prosperity. The five loaves of bread and two fish fed thousands of hungry souls. The mantle in the hands of Elijah divided Jordan river. When God takes what you have in your hands, He performs wonders with them. Don't sit down and wait; get up and move on.

Can you imagine someone walking into a bank to demand for money where he has got no account? Even in situations where you have an account, without a deposit you cannot withdraw from that account. Most times we make withdrawal because we have needs to be met. In most cases in life, you cannot withdraw where you have not deposited. You cannot receive what you have not given. There are times when life comes with all its numerous needs but unfortunately, we do not have deposits where we can withdraw from. It is imperative that we make deposit into our spiritual account so we can easily tap into this account at the time of need. Sometimes, this may be the difference between overcoming temptations and yielding to it. How much of prayers have you deposited into your account? How much of the study of the Word have you deposited into your account? How much of love and goodwill do you have deposited into your account? Some of our accounts are 'bleeding red' that is why when the wind of adversity blows, there is no spiritual stamina to withstand it. There is also a special privilege a trusted customer enjoys from a bank called Overdraft and this is the ability to withdraw from your account more than what you have deposited but thank God for God, He does not just give us the overdraft privileges but has given us a blank check with Grace appended as His signature. He has paid the price so we can win the prize. We have endless possibilities in God, only if you can reach deep and tap into His endlessness, you will never know who you can become in Him. This grace is available for your life race. It is this Grace that can raise your head high. It is this grace that makes it possible for us to come boldly into His presence and stand tall among men.

Waiting on the Lord is an important part of our journey. For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. There is a glory in waiting on the Lord that makes a man to mount up with wings like that of an eagle. When you wait on the Lord, you will never end up being a 'waiter' but rather a Pace-setter who birth positive change everywhere he finds himself. Joseph waited 13 years, Abraham waited 25 years, Moses waited 40 years, our Lord Jesus waited for 30 years, if God is making you to wait, do not worry, you are in good company and He is preparing you for an impact that is bigger than you. He is preparing to launch you out of His nozzle. Don't be in haste lest you become a flash in the pan. God bless you big.
