Unleash Your Potential

This book is a clarion call for us to stir up the gifts in us. Everyone has a gift, and there is urgency for us all to begin to use the gift (s) we have been given as God has purposed them. The truth is that if we don’t use them, they will be taken away, and we lose the joy of fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives. It dares us to unleash our potential. It is a call to motivation and encouragement to put a foot forward, any foot, especially when we have to surf unknown waters.

We must arise, take up our bed, and walk. We may have been crippled for so long by our circumstances, our fears, our trepidations and all, but we are encouraged to heed the command of the Lord to arise! We see how our shoes could hinder our ability to put a foot forward. We are encouraged to take off those shoes so that we can take that STEP., prepare ourselves to face whatever assignment we are given or the challenges we may face in the process armed with the understanding of who we are and the gifts of God in us.

When God brings opportunities our way, and once we can ascertain that is God, then we have to take that STEP.---Seize the opportunity, Take Action by faith, Encourage ourselves in the Lord, and Prayerfully follow God’s lead. We cannot be intimidated by our circumstances. We must hold our heads up and keep our shoulders high. No one should have to be alone in the struggles of life. We need each other to unleash our potential.

Once we are able to understand and utilize the contents of our BACKPACK---Background, Ability, Cultural orientation, Personality, Attitude, Communication pattern, and Keep, it stirs us to the right direction. It is the knowledge of the contents of our BACKPACK that will facilitate our decision to take the STEP. We must position ourselves to unleash our potential without losing focus, with the understanding that nothing good comes easy; it takes a process, but the dream is attainable. It takes determination, acceptance of challenge, readiness to perform, and enthusiasm on our part. It takes preparation, understanding of who we are, self-determination, and honesty. It takes commitment and our ability to make the right choices

Don’t put it off any longer. I D.A.R.E you to P.U.S.H. yourself, utilize your C.A.S.H; Take that S.T.E.P. Stir up that gift in you. Go ahead; unleash your potential. Put a foot forward--- any foot!
