_*Exhortation Pills: Faith Is Not Enough; Build Capacity!*_ _By Rev. Stephen Dadedzi_ _Day 46 (15/Feb/2025)_ > ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Proverbs 24:3-4 NKJV Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. A young man once prayed fervently for God to use him mightily. But when an opportunity came to lead, he struggled because he lacked the knowledge and endurance needed for the task. Faith opened the door, but he had no capacity to sustain the assignment. Many believers have great faith, yet they remain limited because they fail to build capacity. *1. Capacity Is Your Ability to Contain:* God can only pour into you what you are prepared to handle. Just as a small cup cannot contain a gallon of water, a person without spiritual and mental growth cannot handle greater responsibilities. Jesus said, "Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins" (Matthew 9:17). Your capacity determines how much of God's power, wisdom, and blessings you can sustain. *2. Capacity Building Requires Discipline and Hard Work:* William J. Seymour, the leader of the Azusa Street Revival, once said, “Before God comes in great power, He must have vessels who are willing to pay the price.” Growth in any area—whether spiritual, intellectual, or financial—requires effort. Prayer is vital, but so is study, fasting, and developing skills that align with your calling. Paul advised, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed" (2 Timothy 2:15). *3. Faith Opens Doors, but Capacity Keeps You There:* Many people receive divine opportunities but lose them because they lack wisdom, endurance, or competence. Joseph’s faith gave him dreams, but it was his leadership capacity that sustained him in Egypt. God does not just want to bless you; He wants you to be prepared to handle the blessing. That’s why He allows challenges—to build your endurance and wisdom (James 1:2-4). _🙏 Prayer:_ Father, help me not only to have faith but to build the capacity to handle the blessings and assignments You have for me. Teach me discipline, diligence, and wisdom so I can fulfill my purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen. _⚠️ Are You Saved?_ Enjoy God's gift of eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart today. Believe God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as your Lord and Savior (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10). _Follow for more:_ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va8CpbP65yD6cGE7Qq2I | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephendadedzi | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephendadedzi | X: https://x.com/stephendadedzi | eBooks on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/stephendadedzi
