SCRIPTURE:

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ… (2 Corinthians 2:14)

DEVOTIONAL:

When you are born again, your potential is no longer limited to yourself. Your potential is in God. Your potential goes beyond your natural abilities and gifts into His supernatural authority and power. However, until you were saved, you were programmed to believe you had natural limitations and boundaries. You believed you could do only what you could naturally think and do. When God puts it in your heart to do something impossible, if you still believe you are limited to your natural abilities and gifts, you will back up and not move.

I have news for you. God never calls you to do something you are entirely incapable of doing, but He will enable you to do it supernaturally. There was never a better example of this than when the children of Israel went to the Promised Land for the first time. Moses sent twelve spies in to see just what they were getting into…

Of the twelve spies, only Joshua and Caleb came back and said, “Let’s go right now and possess what God has already given us. We can do it because He said we could do it.” This is the kind of leadership God always looks for. The world will say, “Ah, you win some and you lose some.” But God says, “I always cause you to triumph in Christ Jesus!” (See 2 Corinthians 2:14.) Our victory is already won because Jesus already won it.

PRAYER:

Dear God, I am so grateful that I am not subject to the world’s limitations and boundaries, but that I can do the impossible You call me to do through Your supernatural power. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
