Potential and The Most High’s Purpose
Until a man can see beyond his own loins, the future is in danger.
The Most High created everything for a purpose and equipped each created thing with the corresponding potential or ability to fulfill that purpose. All of nature testifies to this great truth, as is evidenced by the fact that seeds always carry within themselves the germ of the trees they were destined to produce. In every bird there is a flock, in every cow a herd, in every fish a school, and in every wolf a pack. Everything is pregnant with the potential to become all it was created to be.
The release and maximization of that potential is dependent, however, on an environment that is conducive to its development and release. For instance, despite the potential of a seed to produce a tree after its kind, and to bring forth fruit in abundance, this great potential can be minimized, restrained, or immobilized by an improper environmental conditions. If the seed is placed on a baked clay tile or a stone, or in a polluted substance or toxic elements, its great potential will be restricted and never fully maximized.
This limitation of potential not only robs the seed of the right to fulfill its true potential but it also robs birds of food and of branches for their nests, and deprives people of wood for building houses, of fruit for food, and of fuel for heat and cooking. In essence, this loss of potential due to an improper environment interferes with the entire ecological system. The seed fails to produce a tree, which is prevented from producing oxygen to give life to men, who are then incapable of fulfilling The Most High’s will and purpose in the earth.
Therefore, any attempt to restrict, abuse, misuse, oppress, or repress the potential of any living thing has a direct effect on the purpose and will of The Most High.
A Word to the Third World
The magnitude and depth of human potential on earth has yet to be tapped. Millions are born, live, and die, never discovering or exposing the awesome potential that resides within them. This tragic state of affairs, which is a global phenomenon, is the result of man’s succumbing to life governed by his own devices. The major source of this tragedy is ignorance.
The most powerful enemy of mankind is not sin or Hasatan, but this death-dealing, life-stealing force called ignorance. The Old Testament prophet Hosea recognized ignorance as the primary source of personal, social, and national destruction. When relaying The Most High’s explanation for moral and social decay among the nations, he wrote, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). The implication is that destruction in any area of our lives, whether personally or nationally, is related to a lack of knowledge.
The most powerful enemy of mankind is not sin or Hasatan, but ignorance. This reality is profoundly true as it relates to the maximization of our potential. The ignorance of mankind concerning the value, worth, and magnitude of human potential causes massive oppression of our wonderful treasure.
Our planet is now home to over 5.8 billion people, all of whom are “created in the image of The Most High” and possess the potential to fulfill the purpose for which they have been born. Over 4 billion of these people live in countries and conditions described as Third World.
The term Third World is not ethnic or racial in orientation, but is more philosophical and conditional in meaning. Technically, it is used to describe any people who have not been allowed to participate in or directly benefit from the industrial revolution, and who therefore have not directly profited from the social, economic, and technological advancement that accompanied this revolution.
In practical terms, the term Third World categorizes all people who, for whatever reason, have been robbed of the opportunity to discover, develop, refine, release, and maximize their The Most High-given potential. This miscarriage of justice has often been the result of oppression and suppression, and it is usually generated by discrimination, prejudice, hate, and fear. Many of these forces of oppression are institutional, constitutional, philosophical, and religious in origin, but all are founded on grave ignorance and misconception.
The ignorance of man about man is the ultimate cause of all our problems. The key to the knowledge of any product must be the manufacturer because no one knows a product like the one who created it. Therefore, the truth about man cannot be found in the great libraries of our educational institutions or the journals of our scientific investigations.
Genesis, the first book of Moses, clearly states that The Most High created man to dominate the earth:
Then The Most High said, “Let Us make man in Our image, in Our likeness, and let them rule [have dominion] over the fish of the sea and them birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground” (Genesis 1:26).
The ignorance of man about man is the ultimate cause of all our problems. Please note: The Most High created all men to dominate the earth, not one another. Therefore, every human possesses the ability and the potential to dominate, rule, govern, and manage the earth. Each one has within him the spirit of leadership and the aspiration to determine his own destiny. This sacred spirit must be respected, protected, and properly related to The Most High, the Creator, or its power will be turned toward other men to oppress them.
This has been the plight of all Third World people. They have fallen victim to the ignorance of men concerning the equality and purpose for mankind. We have all been created to serve the purposes of The Most High as partners in dominion over creation, for the purpose of manifesting The Most High’s nature and Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.
Yahusha HaMaschiach came into the world for this reason: to restore us back to our Creator/Abba The Most High through His atoning work so that we can rediscover our rightful place within His will for His creation—not to create a religion. This great message, called the gospel, has been contaminated by many for their personal motives
and has even been used to justify oppression and suppression in many cases. Therefore, it is imperative that we in this generation commit ourselves, our resources, and our energies to destroying the ignorance and error that cloud the truth concerning mankind, The Most High’s crown of creation. You are so valuable and necessary to the destiny of the human race that The Most High chose to come to earth Himself to redeem you to your purpose and true potential. What you were born to do and be caused Yahusha HaMaschiach to come to give His life for your reconciliation. The world needs your potential. I am gonna say that again, the world needs your potential.
Nothing is more tragic than the waste, denial, abuse, and suppression of human potential. The millions of Third World people in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, including those who are quietly buried within the walls of the industrial states, must now determine to loose themselves from the mental shackles of the oppressor; to
honor the dignity, value, and worth of their brothers; and to provide an environment within which the corporate will and energy of the people may be developed. We must chart a new course based on the principles of the Kingdom of The Most High that will harness the intellectual resources, spiritual virtues, and economic industry of our people and will provide a national incubator that will encourage the maximization of the potential of generations to come. The choice is yours.
You are responsible to understand, release, and maximize your potential.
Principles
1. Everything The Most High created is equipped with the potential or ability to fulfill its The Most High-given purpose.
2. You cannot maximize your potential unless you live in
an environment that is conducive to its development and
release.
3. Potential can be minimized, restrained, or immobilized
by an improper environment.
4. Your potential is lost when you try to live by your own
devices.
5. Ignorance steals life and deals death.
6. You possess the ability to dominate and manage the
earth.
7. You are valuable and necessary to the destiny of the
human race.
