The Potential Principle
The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom (Matthew
13:38a).
BOOK QUOTE: Understanding Your Potential [Chapter 1]
To understand your potential, let us look at one of the most powerful
elements in nature…the seed. If I held a seed in my hand and
asked you, “What do I have in my hand?” what would you say?
Perhaps you would answer what seems to be the obvious…a seed.
However, if you understand the nature of a seed, your answer would
be fact but not truth.
|
The truth is I hold a forest in my hand. Why? Because in every |
|
seed there is a tree, and in every tree there is fruit or flowers with |
|
seeds in them. And these seeds also have trees that have fruit that |
|
have seeds…that have trees that have fruit that have seeds, etc. In |
|
essence, what you see is not all there is. That is potential. Not what |
|
is, but what could be. |
God created everything with potential, including you. He placed
the seed of each thing within itself (see Genesis 1:12), and planted
within each person or thing He created the ability to be much more
than it is at any one moment. Thus, everything in life has potential.
Nothing in life is instant. People think miracles are instant, but
they really are not. They are just a process that has been sped up.
Nothing God created is instant, because God does not operate in the
instant. He is a God of the potential principle. Everything begins as
potential.
He did not create a ready-made human race—the earth was not
given an instant population. God made one person—not a million
people. He started with one seed. Then from that one He created
another. Then He said to those seeds, “Bless you (that means, ‘You
have My permission’). Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the
earth.”
In Adam, God gave the earth a seed with the potential of
one…one hundred…one thousand…one million…. The five billion
people on the earth today were in that one man’s loins. God knew
that in Adam and Eve there were
enough people to fill the earth.
That’s the way God works. He
knows the potential principle
because He introduced it. It is
Him.

God created |
|
everything |
|
with potential, |
|
including you. |
