I often hear Christians and non-Christians nacknowledge that God or the universe will pour nyou out a blessing that you will not have room nenough to receive.

I am in agreement with the scripture or naffirmation but my question is not addressingnabundance or overflow. Today my question nin dealing with your ability to receive, hold nor absorb. What is your potential for growth or ndevelopment? What is your capacity to believe nand receive?

Take a look with me if you will at several items nused to contain water, a glass, water pitcher, nbucket, pond, river and an ocean.
The containers represent your mental capacity tonbelieve and receive and the water symbolizes nblessings (wisdom, knowledge, opportunities, nfavor etc.).

Each container can receive and hold water but the namount of there volume varies from small to nenourmous.Let’s imagine for a moment that you nare a glass (your mental capacity to believe nand receive) and I am a water pitcher n(my mental capacity to believe and receive).
And I start to pour my blessings (wisdom,nknowledge, opportunities, favor etc.)into nyou the glass.

You would only be able to receive and contain thenblessings to the level equal to the capacity nto which the glass was designed.In other words nyou would become full long before my capacity to pour nout was exhausted.

So it stands to reason that if you want increase nyou must “enlarge your capacity.” It would be silly nof me as a water pitcher to become bitter, envious nor jealous of the bucket, pond, river or ocean.

Because if the bucket, pond, river or ocean poured nout all of their contents (wisdom, knowledge, nopportunities, favor etc.) into me. As a water npitcher (my mental capacity to believe and receive)

I would only be able to receive and hold the ncapacity of a water pitcher (my mental capacity to nbelieve and receive.)

Your accumulations in life are related to your ncapacity to believe and receive.

Next time I will share some methods and resources nyou can use to “Enlarge Your Capacity.”

YOU ARE JUST A STEP AWAY!
