What is Potential?


Potential is dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talents, capped capability.
Potential is all you can be but have not yet become. It's all you can do but have not yet done. It is how far you reach but have not yet reached. It's what you can accomplish but haave not yet accomplished. Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
Potential is therefore not what you have done. But what you are yet to do. In other words, what you have done is no longer your potential. What you have successfully accomplished is no longer potential.
It is said that unless you do some thing beyond what you have done, you will never grow or experience your full potential.
Potential demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. 
One of the greatest enemies of your potential is success. In order to realize your full potential, you must never be satisfied with your last accomplishment.
It is also important that you never let what you CANNOT do interfere with what you CAN DO. 
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life that never realized it's full potential. You must decide today not to rob the world of rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.
Potential never has a retirement plan.
YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
Shalom!

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

HEALING BEFORE DATING

Before you enter a relationship, you must be honest about the condition of your heart. Many singles desire love while carrying wounds they have never confronted. Childhood rejection, abandonment, betrayal, harsh words, broken family experiences, unhealthy relationships and repeated disappointments can shape the way you see yourself and interpret the actions of others. Sometimes what you call love is actually a desire to escape loneliness, insecurity or emotional pain. Yet Scripture reminds you that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Healing must become part of your preparation for healthy love. Unresolved wounds can affect how you communicate, trust, receive affection and respond to conflict. You may become overly suspicious because someone betrayed you before, excessively controlling because you fear abandonment, emotionally distant because vulnerability once hurt you, or desperate for constant reassurance because rejection d...

Waiting vs. Walking in God’s Timing

Desiring marriage can make singles impatient, tempting them to settle or force relationships. But God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are higher than ours. Scripture declares, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14). Walking in patience allows God to orchestrate the right union that honors Him fully. Waiting is not passive; it is a period of preparation, prayer, and personal growth. Singles are called to strengthen their character, deepen their intimacy with Jesus, and clarify their purpose. This ensures that when the right partner comes, the relationship will serve God’s kingdom and not just personal desire. Rushing leads to compromises and mismatches, but intentional waiting produces alignment, covenant readiness, and a union that glorifies Jesus. Trusting God’s timing allows His wisdom to guide your choices, protecting your heart and your future marriage. When you wait on God and walk in His timing, you become a vessel rea...
