1. Potential is UNEXPECTED ABILITY and hidden power. Labels: Sermon
Potential is dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talents, capped capability.
It is all you can be but have not yet become, all you can do but have not yet done, how far you can reach but have not yet reached, and what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.
2. GOD is the source of all potential.
God is Omnipresent
God is Omniscient
God is Omnipotent
3. Every great thing starts potentially with a “SEED IDEA.”
4. Nothing potentially great in life is ever INSTANT.
Heb. 11:3
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of thingswhich are visible.

6. To maximize potential, I need to use my talent and ability to its FULL CAPACITY.
7. Constant COMPARISION with others can harm potential.

But we will not boast of authority we do not have. Our goal is to measure up to God’s plan for us, and this plan includes our working there with you.

Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done and won’t need to compare himself with someone else.
