Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking. Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength - Proverbs 24:1‭-‬5

Success in life is still about making choices to make us live our lives either by default or by design. Your claim to fame would be a mere mockery if you don't enlarge your capacity. There many things you must give up. o go up. Outside of diligence, life will not yield any of your desired results. The importance of knowledge as an essential ingredient in capacity building cannot be emphasised;

  • Your life can either by powered or pushed. Life evolves and you should evolve with it too. If you don't improve on who you are today, you have given us the right to leave you behind tomorrow. The limit of knowledge is the limit of freedom (Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure - Isaiah 33:6). How many things are you missing out on because you lack knowledge? Your lack of knowledge will limit your freedom; to avoid this, enlarge your capacity.

  • The degree of your knowledge determines your capacity. Only those who increase in knowledge, increase in value (And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation - Daniel 11:32). Your points of ignorance are your places of disadvantage. Grow capacity in knowledge so that your knowledge can fetch you more than your ignorance is costing you.

  • A position makes no difference in the absence of the awareness of the value of that position! Nobody had the guts to take up Goliath until little David came who knew his position as the child of the God of Israel. Goliath's rant did not make sense to David because he knew the strength available in His God (Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” - I Samuel 17:36) God is always available but it is what you have mastered and learned of Him that can be useful to you.

  • Lack of capacity will lead you into captivity. You must have to deal with a tension between the stability that gives security and the adaptability that opens up opportunity. The desire to improve you must drive you to keep seeking knowledge. You must become someone new before you grow into something new. Improving yourself therefore is the first step in developing capacity. Goals will help you do better but growth will help you become better.

Learn the habit of prayer especially praying in the Holy Ghost. Praying in tongues will tune your spirit to God's spirit. One of the ways to expand your capacity is to spend time in God's presence. If a man fails in the day of adversity, his strength is small. To build that strength, you need to travail in the place of prayer. Prayer shoots you forward, gives you an advantage (Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord - 2 Peter 1:2). (But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen - 2 Peter 3:18) There is still such a thing as the supply of the spirit. When you plug into the supply of the spirit, you exchange your limits for the limitlessness of God. Decide for yourself what areas you need to develop your capacity. Make personal development your priority.
