UTILIZING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

POTENTIAL: If you say that someone has potential, it means that they have the necessary abilities or qualities to become successful or useful in the future! (YOU ARE USEFUL TO YOUR GENERATION IN JESUS NAME).
SUCCESS: It is the achievement of one’s aims and goals. Something which happens as a consequence, the outcome or result of one’s actions. You can’t talk of success without a goal.
GOAL: It is a result that one is attempting to achieve or something that you hope to achieve, especially when much time and effort will be needed.
   You can’t dream about success without having a goal and you can’t have a goal until you define your life’s purpose, and you can’t really define your life’s purpose until you invite Jesus into your life and make Him your Lord and Savior because God is the creator of the universe and your creator as well, so God has the blue print of your life. Jeremiah 1vs 5: I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
   God has given you the abilities to become SUCCESSFUL in the area of your purpose. In other words, you have all the potentials of being a success story in the place of your calling or purpose! You didn’t buy these potentials in the market and you didn’t study them in school neither did your parents tech you about it, NO! It was already placed in you by God when He created you.
So, true Success is discovering your life’s purpose, achieving the goal set before you with the potentials or abilities that God has placed in you.
