Every person is born with something unique, something divine: a gift. Sadly, many people ignore the patterns of extraordinary results in their lives. They dismiss their potential, assuming it’s nothing special.

But look at Joseph. Even in prison, his potential, the ability to interpret dreams spoke for him. It opened doors and changed his story.

What about you?

There’s a classic story called Acres of Diamonds. A farmer sold his land to look for treasure, only for the new owner to discover diamonds right on that land. Sometimes we overlook our own potential, chasing after other people’s gifts instead.

Don’t make that mistake.

Your potential is more than a skill, it’s God’s way of partnering with you to bless others. And when you serve others, miracles flow. Joseph didn’t wait for a paycheck to use his gift. He served with it, even behind bars.

Don’t bury what God has placed in you. Instead, serve boldly, no matter where you are.

Serving is just the start. To let your gift truly speak, you must raise your skill. Pharaoh saw that Joseph was not only gifted, but also wise and excellent. Excellence gives your potential a louder voice.

If you’re already thriving, don’t stop. Pour into others. Help them discover their potential. Jesus raised leaders; so should we.

Remember: legacy isn’t built by success alone, it’s built by empowering others.

Let your potential speak, your gift serve, and your excellence shine. The world is waiting and God is ready to back you up.
