However, as a believer you can leave the competition behind by becoming phenomenally creative with the sufficiency of God.\u00a0 This means, when you become totally yielded to the sufficiency of God within you, any inefficiency in your thinking, speech and whatever you do, will be swallowed up by divine sufficiency of God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Corinthians 3:5<br \/>\n\u201cNot that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Greek word translated \u2018of\u2019 is the same word that is translated \u2018from\u2019, and the word sufficiency also means \u2018ability\u2019. The above scripture can thus read, \u201cNot that we are\u00a0able\u00a0of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our\u00a0ability\u00a0is\u00a0from\u00a0God;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul says, \u201cOur ability is from God.\u201d In other words, &#8220;the accomplishments that you see and attribute to us come from God&#8221;. Our efficiency comes from Him. This is amazing. It implies that if we were cut open spiritually, what would be seen is this divine ability that has come from God and now resides in us.<br \/>\nThis ability seeks to regulate your thinking, it wants to regulate your mouth; it also wants to regulate your behaviour. When you are totally influenced and dominated by this ability, the world will exclaim, \u201cwhat manner of man is this (Matthew 8:27; Mark 4:41 &amp; Luke 8:25)?\u201d You will not have competition; you will function in the creative elements of God. Learning to be totally influenced and dominated by the sufficiency of God must become your number one preoccupation.<br \/>\nWe can achieve this goal through praying, fasting, studying the Word, and all other forms of spiritual exercises. We should keep pressing on until we come to a point in our spiritual development where God\u2019s sufficiency totally dominates our thinking, beliefs, words, actions, and perspective &#8211; our complete view of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Corinthians 9:8\u00a0\u201cAnd God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>This scripture reveals that, in whatsoever situation you find yourself, God is able to make ALL GRACE abound towards that you have ALL SUFFIENCY always unto EVERY GOOD work. So if you get to a place and the good work needed is healing,\u00a0miracle or money, you can abound unto that. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n<p>The Amplified bible version puts it:<br \/>\n<strong>\u2018\u2018And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]\u201d.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is the life Jesus brought to humanity. This life is available in God through faith in Jesus Christ. Please take time out and meditate this Word until it becomes spirit and life in you. Work it into every fiber of your soul. Rewire your thinking with the light of this truth. Let it fall from your lips as your persuasion. Let this reality in the spirit become real in your soul until it becomes material reality. This will change your options and influence your choices.<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u2018And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nMake a commitment that 2 Corinthians 9:8 will be true in your life; that poverty, disease and failure will not be your reality. You take a stand in the blood of Jesus against any satanic deceit and onslaught. It\u2019s that serious. The violent take it by force. It doesn\u2019t just happen.<br \/>\nLiving the ability of God is not reserved for Pastors, Prophets and Apostles. Every Child of God must function\u00a0 with the consciousness that God is their ability. This is the normal Christian life, not just for Pastors.<br \/>\nWe are taking the world for Jesus with this ability and not in the energy of the flesh (1 Samuel 2:9b). We are learning how to turn loose this divine sufficiency inside us.\u00a0 When this ability is unleashed, the whole world will be so influenced and shaped by God that it will be as the days of Heaven on the earth.<br \/>\nYour contemplation should be 2 Corinthians 3:5; \u201cNot that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Acts 3:12 Peter makes a revealing this statement:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>12 \u2018And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel\u00a0ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ability to do the impossible comes from God and not yourself. Learn to live on God\u2019s ability. God is literally connecting us with omnipotence when we yield to his ability in us.<br \/>\nWhat are you going to do with God\u2019s ability in you? The days of mediocrity are over. Wake up to the dominion and majesty of God in your spirit. Do not let His ability lie dormant in you. TAKE ACTION!\u00a0 Imagine what God\u2019s ability at work in you will do in business. Imagine what it will do in ministry, at home and in every sphere of your life.<br \/>\nBe strengthened in your spirit and established in this divine ability to rule this earth for God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world becomes extremely competitive, inefficiency is becoming increasingly costly to individuals, businesses and nations.
