DAY 18

Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, in Our likeness...." (Genesis 1:26a).

Not only are all things composed of that from which they came, they must also remain attached to that source in order to live. All things must maintained and sustained by where they came from. The minute a plant is pulled out of the soil, it dies. The minute you take a fish out of water, it dies.
Thus, whatever God created came from that to which He spoke. All things were created by God's word to a source. The source of creation also becomes, then, the essence of that creation. All things are composed of whatever they came from and hence contain the potential of that source. That means plants only have the potential of the soil. If the soil is rich, then the plant has the potential to be well nourished and grow bigger.
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27).
God created you by speaking to Himself. You came out of God and thus bear His image and likeness.

DAY 17

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received (Ephesians 4:1)

Your Creator and Manufacturer built a store of miracles in you. He said you have treasures in your earthen vessel. He came to bring you an abundant life. God knows there is explosive power in you waiting to be released. Through the strength of Jesus Christ you can do anything you think or imagine, and even more. But not everyone will hook up with God. Not everyone will look for the things God planted within them to be used for His glory. Not everyone will choose to fulfill their potential. Indeed, the number will be few.
Will you dare to believe the impossible no matter what others say? The world needs people who will believe God for the potential buried within them, desiring their drama enough to move out and act. Only a few will find the kind of potential that allows them to live from the depths of their hidden ability. But for those who do, deep wells of possibilities will come to light as God reveals to them more and more of what He planned before the foundations of the world.

DAY 16

All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:16b).

God looked at Adam and saw a world. He looked at Abraham and saw nations. In Jacob, a deceiver, He saw a Messiah. In Moses a murderer, God saw a deliverer.
God saw a king in a shepherd boy. When the Israelites wanted a king, God sent Samuel to the home of Jesse. After Jesse had paraded all of his sons before Samuel, he asked, "Do you have any other sons?"
Jesse said, "No, well, yes, I do have a boy, just a little runt who's taking care of the sheep."
"Bring him," Samuel said. Notice that God chose the son who was working. God chooses busy people.
Most of us are like Jesse. We look, but we don't see. Are you the "black sheep" in your family? (You know God likes sheep.) Has your family told you that you are a nobody? Have you been told so many times that you will amount to nothing, that you have begun to believe it? You are the one that God is waiting for.
Have you been trying to prove that you are somebody, and still feel like a nobody? Be free from that today. You are loved, You are chosen.

DAY 15

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well (Psalm 139:14)

Many people are passed by because others don't see what is in them. But God has shown me what's in me, and I know it is in you too. My job is to say to you: "Can you see what's in you? Do you know your potential? There's wealth of potential in you."
They say Michelangelo used to walk around a block of marble for days-just walking around it, talking to himself. First he would see things in the rock; then he would take them out.
Insight like that of a sculptor is seen in the Bible. When the world dumps and rejects you, and you land on the garbage heap of the world, God comes to you. He looks deep within you and sees a person of great worth.

Don't ever let anyone throw you away. You are not junk. God sees things that that everyone else ignores.
You are worth so much that Jesus went to Calvary to salvage and reclaim you. The Spirit of God connected to your spirit is the only true judge of your worth. Don't accept the opinions of others about you.

DAY 14

For this is what the Lord says -He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He says: "I am the Lord, and there is no other" (Isaiah 45:18).

A sculptor works in a very interesting way. I'm an artist of sorts, so I have a bit of an understanding how artists work. One thing I know is that you never argue with an artist during the process. An artist can be very rude if disturbed before the project is completed.
An artist may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. Dogs may have been doing stuff on it. But the artist sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine.
Months later the artist invites you to his workshop and says, "Do you see that?"
And you would say, "Do you mean...? "
"Yes. Five hundred dollars, please."
You were sitting on $500.Dogs were doing stuff on $500. You didn't see the potential in that stone.

23/08/2018

DAY 13

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The work of God is not complete, He has not delivered all His babies. He will keep on delivering as long as you deliver, because you are the continuation of His deliveries. God can still create. If it does not exist in a visible form, God will speak it. He continues to be pregnant with many things.
There's someone in China right now who is thinking about the idea you thought was yours. Because everything comes out of God, each of you with the same idea all received it from the same Source. Until that idea is transformed by action, God will continue to leak that idea into men and women. Why? Because God is a God of potential. Although He is the source of all things, He shares His omnipotent powers with His creation. We, like God are pregnant with many things. We are full of imagination, having the potential power to be more than we visibly are. There are dreams, visions, plans, and ideas in us that need to be released. God wants us to tap into His power and use it, because God made us with potential.

22/08/2018

DAY 12

By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done (Genesis 2:2-3).

God was full of imagination. He was pregnant with many thoughts. His thoughts became ideas, and the ideas became images. Everything that is came out of God as He spoke those images. The unseen became seen, the invisible became visible. God didn't create the world by just thinking the whole thing into being. He worked it into being. After creating a plan in His mind, God spoke to make visible the invisible. (Speaking was one of the ways He worked.) Through work He created the world.
For six days God created the heavens and the earth. On the seventh day He rested.
Spoke must be a fairly serious thing. If God, who is Almighty and all powerful, had to rest after creation, spoke must have been hard work.
God was the first one to Sabbath, He intended the Sabbath to be a blessing. He knows that life produces work, and work creates the need to rest.

21/08/2018

DAY 11

My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens, when I summon the, they all stand up together (Isaiah 48:13).

What happened when God spoke at creation? How did He get the invisible to become visible? Let us look at the word spoke.
Spoke was a process. What God spoke into visibility began as an idea in His mind. God first conceived in His mind what He wanted to create. He didn't just say, "I want this." The prophet Isaiah tells us that God created the earth by first planning its foundations (see Isaiah. 48:13).
After the plans were in His mind, God spoke them into existence. God laid the groundwork for the earth and spread out the heavens. He created the sun to shine during the day and the moon and stars at night. He ordered the clouds to fill the sky and breezes to blow. He made the waves to roar in the sea. He sent rain to water the earth and grass to cover the hillside. Thunder and lightning were created by His command; hail and sleet were formed by His word. A wool-like blanket of snow He produced for Winter; frost and dew He designed.

17/08/2018

DAY 10

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible (Hebrews 11:3).

God always had everything in Him, but we could not see it. All we now see was once in an invisible state. (Please note invisible does not mean nonexistent.)
All the buildings we see with businesses and people frequently making money, investing. All that stuff began as ideas. We couldn't see them because they were in somebody's mind. Although they weren't present in their current form, they existed as lumber and concrete, cotton and wool, steel and motors. Someone had an idea.
Through work they put their idea into things that are now visible.
By faith God spat out what was in Him. Whatever you see came from the unseen. Thus, faith is not the evidence of things that do not exist. It is the evidence of things that are not yet seen.
Everything that we see has always been. It became seen when God spoke it into being. God is the source of life.

16/08/2018

DAY 9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life... (John 1: 1-4).

Before there was a beginning, there was God. Nothing that was created was made without the Word (Jesus). In the Word was life. Life came out of God. Therefore, before you knew life, life was. Everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch was in God before it came to be. Even what you discern first existed in God.
This if you had talked to God on the highway of nothingness, you would have been talking to millions of cows, horses, mountains, trees, limousines, hotels, and beaches. They all were in God. They were in Him, but no one saw them. He's always full of the potential to bring forth what you see. God is pregnant with the universe. In essence, if you met God on the highway of nothing, by the corner of nowhere, before there was anything, and you shook His hand, you would be shaking hands with everything, but you would not know it. You would be with potential. Like God you are pregnant with potential remember you are made in His image and likeness (see Genesis 1:26).

15/08/2018

DAY 8

Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made (John 1:3).

Everything in life was created with potential and possesses the potential principle. Creation abounds with potential because the Creator Himself is the potential principle.
When we describe God, we often say He is omnipotent. Omnipotent means that God is always potent. Made up of two words: omni, meaning "alway," and potent meaning "full of power," omnipotent means that God is potentially everything. He has within Him the potential for all that is, was, or ever will be. He is omni-potent or omnipotent.
Everything that was, and everything that is, was in God. That's a very important concept. Everything that was and is, was in God. We have to start with God. Before God made anything, before He created things, there was only God. So before anything can be, God is.
God is the root, or source of all life.
Before anything was, God is.

14/08/2018

DAY 7

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us (Romans 12:6a).

Perhaps you are wasting your life doing nothing with all you have. God packaged some things in you for the good of the world - use them. We will never know the wealth God planted in you until you bring it up. There's always something in you that we haven't yet seen because that's the way God thinks. Release your ability before you die. Use the power and strength within you for the good of yourself and others. I believe there are books, songs, works of art, businesses, poems, inventions, and investments in you that God intended for His children to enjoy.
Don't give up until you have lived out the full extent of your potential, because you have no right to die with our things. Don't rob the next generation of the wealth, treasure, and tremendous gifts buried deep within you.
If you want to succeed, strike out on new paths. Don't travel the worn paths of accepted success. No-one can climb beyond the limitations of his own beliefs. Every day sends to the grave obscure men and women whom fear prevented from realizing their true and full potential.
