Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Ephesians 3:20 (New International Version)

BOOK QUOTE: Understanding Your Potential [Preface]
The wealthiest spot on this planet is not the oil fields of Kuwait.
Iraq. or Saudi Arabia. Neither is it the gold and diamond mines of
South Africa, the uranium mines of the Soviet Union. or the silver
mines of Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest deposits on
our planet lie just a few blocks from your house. They rest in your
local cemetery or graveyard. Buried beneath the soil within the walls
of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs
that were never sung. books that were never written, paintings that
never filled a canvas. ideas that were never shared, visions that never
became reality. inventions that were never designed. plans that never
went beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purposes that were
never fulfilled. Our graveyards are filled with potential that
remained potential. What a Tragedy!
Only a minute percentage of the five billion people on this
planet will experience a significant portion of their true potential.
Are you a candidate for contributing to the wealth of the cemetery?

Ask yourself the following questions.
Who am I?
Why am I here?
how much potential do I have?
What am I capable of doing?
By what criteria should J measure mv ability?
Who sets the standards?
By what process can I maximize my ability?
What are mv limitations?
Within the answers to these questions lies the key to a fulfilled.
effective life.
One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die
untapped. Many potentially great men and women never realize their
potential because they do not understand the nature and concept of
the potential principle. As God has revealed to me the nature of
potential. I have received a burden to teach others what I have learned.
There’s a wealth of potential in you. I know, because God has shown me
the vast store He placed in me. My purpose is to help you understand
that potential and get it out. You must decide if you are going to rob
the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked
away within you.
You are more than what you have done.
