Source Determines Potential

“For in Him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your
knowledge”

1 Corinthians 1:5

Everything God creates has the same components as its source. Wherever something comes from determines it components. Or to say it another way: Everything is made up of the same stuff as what it came out of. Therefore plants are made up of 100 percent dirt. They consist of the same things as the dirt. Animals also are one hundred percent dirt, or whatever is in the soil. So when a plant dies, it goes back to where it came from—you can’t find it. When an animal dies, it goes back to where it came from—you can’t find it. When man dies, he goes back to the spirit realm.


So whatever something comes from determines the components of which it is made. And whatever something comes from determines its potential. Potential is related to source. A plant can be no more than the dirt can be. Likewise, animals can be no more than the dirt can be. Since you came out of God, you have the same components as God and your potential is determined by God. Wherever something comes from, it has to remain attached to where it came from in order to fulfill itself. All created things must be maintained by their source. Thus plants need soil to live. They can’t live without the dirt. If a plant decides, “I’m tired of the soil,” it also decides “I’m ready to die.” Therefore, if you decide you don’t need God, you have also decided never to become all you are capable of being. The potential of everything is related to source; everything must be attached to its source if it is going to fulfill its potential. Our life depends upon our Source. We came out of God and contain a measure of His ability. But our only hope of fulfilling that ability lies in God. We must be hooked up with God if we are going to tap any of our true potential. Jesus came to bring us back to God so God’s original intention when He took man out of Himself could be fulfilled. Thus the key to your full potential is staying related to God.

If you decide you don’t need God, you also have decided never to become all you are capable of being.
