Unlocking the Door to Limitless Accomplishments
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Imagine having the ability to accomplish anything you set your mind to do. If you could do something like this, your future potential would be tremendous. The confidence that you would have going into each project would be astounding. Well, there is a way you can unlock the door to be able to accomplish anything you set your mind to do. The verse above shows how to unlock the door so that there is no limit to what you can accomplish.
First, you must take personal responsibility for your own actions. The very first word in this verse is “I.” You will never be able to accomplish anything until you take personal responsibility for your own actions. Excuses cannot be a part of your life. Excuses are simply a crutch for laziness and lack of initiative. The door to limitless accomplishments starts to unlock when you decide to lay aside every excuse and take personal responsibility for your own actions.
Second, you must believe that you can accomplish what you set out to do. Notice this verse says, “I can…” If you don’t believe that you can accomplish what you are doing, then you surely are not going to do it. Half of the battle is in your head. Whenever you start a project, you must remove all doubts and carry the belief that it can be done. This is part of the key to unlocking the door to limitless accomplishments.
Third, you must not put a limit on what can be done. Notice the verse above says, “I can do all things…“ It did not say some things, but “all things.” Don’t put a limit on what God can do through any project. Leave the door open for the LORD to do greater things than what you could imagine. I fear we often limit what God wanted to do because we close our mind to the possibilities of what God wanted to do. Don’t ever get to the point where you think that part of what you are doing is possible, but there is a limit to what can be done. Go into every project with an open mind and heart for God to do more than what you thought could be done. When God opens greater doors, don’t slam the doors shut, but walk through them and trust the God Who opened them for you.
Fourth, here is the key to this whole verse. The key to unlocking the door to limitless accomplishments is getting God involved in every step. Every accomplishment must be done through Christ, or else you will find yourself hitting the ceiling and limiting your potential. Don’t let Christ be an afterthought, but let Him be the One Whom you rely on throughout the whole project. Start every project with prayer, then continue to bathe it in prayer as you work through the project.
God says when you do all these things, He will strengthen you. In other words, God is saying that if you will do all these things, that He will give you the strength to overcome anything that may try to hinder you from accomplishing the tasks that you attempt. You may not have the strength when you start the project, but if you will follow each of these steps, you will find the strength you need at the moment you need it.
Where are you in this process of unlocking the door to limitless accomplishments? Christian, I challenge you to raise your horizon on what God can do through you. You ultimately determine what God can do through you by how much you follow His advice in this verse. Unlock the door in your life to limitless accomplishments and step out and go after what the LORD has laid on your heart to do.
