18 After looking at the way things are on this earth, here's what I've decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that's about it. That's the human lot. 19 Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what's given and delighting in the work. It's God's gift! Ecc 5:18- 19 MSG
In order to enjoy God's gift for us, you must have the capacity.
Capacity = maximum ability to receive, contain, withstand and produce.
God have no limits in His blessings. But, how much can you contain? How much can you contain the pressure? We are talking about spiritual capacity!
When the vessels were all full, she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not a one left. Then the oil stopped multiplying. 2 Kings 4:6 AMP
God pour out precious oil from heaven. Bring in the jars, the empty container. If you do not have the capacity to contain, , the oil will stop multiplying. We want to see multiplication. If you have the capacity, to keep receiving, to keep containing, you will bless your family, your community and many more people around you. You can be a blessing to others! Are you limited by your inner capacity?
Enlarge the blessings of God in you! Your inner size of capacity determines how big your vision can be. Remember the story of 5 talents? 2 talents? You need to produce and multiply. God says" well done, good and faithful servant" Matt 25: 21 When you multiply, God will give you even more influence! The last servant who wouldn't multiply, he would not want responsibility. vs 24. He even accuse the master for expecting too much. The servant do not have the ability to handle responsibility or stress.
Tell yourself" I want to be a person of destiny"
It is not enough to just have passion. When you are young, you have passion. The world is not changed by passion alone, it is changed by people with humongous capacity.
Eph 3:16 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Paul mentioned that you need to grow your capacity.
Daniel 12:4, Daniel 7:25
In the end times, knowledge will be increasing every 12 hours. Pace of lfe is faster than ever before. The devil really wanted to wear us out!! The only way to cope, stand, overcome is to grow your inner man.
How to cope? It is an extremely busy life. The only way is to enlarge your capacity!
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
John 16:12
You will eventually crumble if you cant handle the stress of life.
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 1 Cor 3:1-2
Heb 5:11-12
Are you dull in your hearing? DO you understand what God is trying to tell you? You still need milk instead of solid food. Eg, many times Pst Kong wants to tell Dayan about the truth in life, but he was too young, too innocent to handle. He doesn't have the capacity yet.
1 Corinthians 2:14
When you do not have the capacity, whatever God is doing, you couldn't understand. It seems so silly to you. Good news is, capacity can grow, can be expanded with our response.
it takes a decision to grow, enlarge your capacity.
