Forward: 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer

DAY 16 OF 21

GROWING YOUR CAPACITY

A dam is not built for days when there is no rain. Rather, a dam is built in expectation of the large volume of water that comes when there is a thunderstorm. Trying to build a dam only when there are signs of rain would be futile! 

Challenging circumstances are opportunities to grow our capacity. Before God can lead us into new things, He first needs to grow our capacity. Before meeting Goliath on the battlefield, David already knew what it meant to face an enemy much stronger and bigger than himself. While tending to his flock of sheep, David defended them from attacks from wild animals. This gave him the courage, strength and capacity to eventually stand up to Goliath and defeat him. God is constantly working in our lives to grow us, even in the midst of challenging circumstances. When we recognise that God is working in our lives, we respond in a way that not only honours God, but also grows our capacity and character. Like David, we need to allow God to mould and shape us, in preparation for the greater things that He wants to do through us. 

It begins with faithfulness! David was able to handle the greater things that God did through him because he was first faithful over the little that was entrusted to him. In order for God to use us to accomplish His plans and purpose, we must remain faithful over all that God has entrusted to us. Has God called you to be a Connect Group Leader? Be faithful over those who have been entrusted to you. As we grow in our capacity and remain faithful, we avail ourselves to be used by God to take new ground!

Reflect:

  • Ask God to reveal to you the areas in your life where He wants to grow your capacity.
  • What are the roles and responsibilities that God has called you to in this season? List them down and commit to being faithful over them.

Prayer:

Dear God, help me to be faithful to the things that You have called me to this season. I know and trust that You are working in every area of my life to increase my capacity. Thank You for working in and through me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
