WHEN WE LIMIT OURSELVES...


When we Limit Ourselves...
　
  And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. HEB 11:6


  
Our drive and pursuits for the great and high places in life is without doubt a lofty idea and a noble undertaking. It is sometimes also funny how we create barricade, barrier and hedges around our life, yet we want to soar high, even higher than the self imposed limitation around us, we ignorantly feel and believe that we can meander and find our way past the self originating limitation that we have placed ahead of us. alas! we are only subscribing to the greatest deceits of a lifetime.

When we think and ponder on limitation, we sometimes or most times attributes it to some externalities without realizing that the bulk of the limitation we experienced comes from within , the  internal limitation are the worst of all. the seed for limitation is always within you. the limitation from within could be likened to a cancer, it may be difficult to detect and more difficult to eradicate. we can't be greater than the limitation that is within us. the limitation that is within us is a demonic check on our progress in life. they are meant to delay and set us off the course from our destination.

when we limit ourselves, we are only setting the level playing field for our failure and defeats in life. the bible made us to understand that as a man thinketh so is he (see Prov. 23:7)

Let us look at the salient ways we can limit oursleves without we knowing or without even having an idea:

1. Unbelief or lack of belief

2. Lack of knowledge or inadequate knowledge.

3. Little or no wisdom

4. When we rely on man instead of God.

5. When we ignore the place of preparation

6. When we relegate service

7. When we live our life outside of God

8.  When we walk out of Purpose

9. When we misplace our prioroties

10. When we accomodate immediate gratification

11. When we fail to take a step

Counter Productive Ambition

God, I am not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountains. I haven't meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans,  Psalm 131:1, (Message Bible) One of the projectiles of the kingdom of darkness against the modern day believer in these last days is the crisis of miscalculated and over-ambitious pursuit for our place in life and destiny. The idea is to set us up against God.  It manifest in the form of substituting the place of spirituality with the premises of carnality and vain human logic that amounts to Nought. We try in vain to skillfully apply the wisdom of the world to effects the manifestation of Divinity on earth. We also foolishly try to fast track the turn of events in our life with sheer disregard for div ine timing and the climax of it all amounts to frustration, self instigated  delay and destiny truncation. It is also counter productive. We must learn to pursue our ambition on the same pace with G...

Repairing the Breaches

Then Elijah said to all the People, “come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.  (1 Kings 18:30, NKJV) A spiritual peek into the lives of the nations and that of men around us reveals ruins of broken down place of worship that has fallen into a state of disrepair and neglects. The personal and the cooperate prayer altars of men and nations has become broken down to the extents that they now qualify to be called museum of past encounter. The personal and cooperate altars of nation and individuals has become breached as a result of neglects and false worship. It has been become polluted by the offering of strange fires and the acts of falsehood by the people.  When the Altar of men are in disrepair, the lives of men become altered.  Until the altar of nations are fixed and repaired, the grip of darkness over the land would not be loosed. When the altar of the lord in the lives of...

Listening

"Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth." (Proverbs 5: 7) The hustling and the bustling in our world today has altered and transformed our relationship with God. It has become the noise that drowns and dwarves every voice that contains an express word for God's people.  We have become so used to the noise in the world that we have lost touch with the person of the Word (Jesus) speaking into our lives. The din of the noise emanating from the world has discounted the word that is meant expressly for us and for the high calling of God for our lives. We have missed so many key appointments in our spiritual calendar because of our inability to hear from God per time, per season! We mustn't fail to develop our own Listening Button as we go about the maze and the din of life and I see us overcoming the subtle trick of the devil in Jesus name Amen!  Monday Eleojo Paul #BeuHavi #DeepDevotionals #Listening ...
