Enlarged Capacity II
Increase your capacity for giving because eventually it will increase your capacity for receiving. (But since you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you, see that you also excel in this grace of giving - 2 Corinthians 8:7). Giving is not all about your offerings, tithes. Yes it is more exciting to receive than to give but if you don't give there is no guarantee of receiving. Stop expecting to be paid salary because you showed up at work; you must give value if you will receive quality rewards.
Increase in your capacity to lead. Develop your capacity to spot a need and fill the need. True leaders are problem solvers. Serve with an open heart on your job, in your home, in your church, and with your friends. People who do things that count do not stop to count them. Stop seeking recognition, seek effectiveness. Visibility and effectiveness are two entirely different things. Get the job done and disregard who gets the credit. There are many visible people, like golden vessels who are unto dishonor. You can be a wooden vessel unto honor so focus on effectiveness and increase in your capacity for leadership.
Increase in your capacity for speaking. Your speech is a vital tool in the enlargement of your capacity. (But as you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see that you abound in this grace also - 2 Corinthians 8:7). Jesus kept speaking to people, things, atmosphere, everything (Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm - Mark 4:39). Respond to life using words; speak to your kids, speak to your car, speak to your bank account. Believe and speak from the standpoint of the authority that we have in Christ as believers. Declare based on God's word and God's will for your life. Everything is speaking to you i.e. your life & your environment, what are you saying back to them? Speak out of an understanding of God's words and power.
Increase in your capacity to acquire. We don't buy everything with money. It begins with a decision to acquire, then you pray and believe that you have it. When you have done this, everything will begin to work together to make it happen. Situations and circumstances will begin to work in your favor. You would begin to see opportunities that you would have missed. (Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24). When you final acquire it, you will know it was God because there would be a dimension of favor involved.
