How To Build Spiritual Capacity

There is a level God desires His children to reach, which is a depth of understanding of the things of the Spirit. Growth is not optional; it is essential for where God is taking us.  

Meanwhile, no one truly knows the strength within until they step out in faith. In Matthew 25:14-30, we read the parable of the master who entrusted his servants with different talents before going on a journey. He gave five, two, and one talent respectively, and according to their capacity.

The first two servants invested and multiplied what was given to them, while the third buried his talent out of fear. When the master returned, he was pleased with those who had expanded their capacity and entrusted them with even more. But the servant who did nothing lost the one that he had.  

God gives according to our ability, but He expects growth. Spiritual capacity is not just for today; it is required for where God is leading us.

As believers, we are called to grow beyond spiritual infancy. 1 Peter 2:2 told us to desire the sincere milk of the Word so we may grow. However, we cannot stay on milk forever.

Hebrews 5:14 states that strong meat belongs to those who are mature, those who, through practice, have trained their senses to discern between good and evil.  

The more capacity we build, the more responsibilities God can entrust to us. And the more responsibilities we carry, the greater the supply of power we receive (Luke 12:48).  

Building spiritual capacity requires intentionality. It’s means stretching beyond our comfort zones and making room for more of God in our lives. Therefore, we must engage consistently with God’s Word, prayer, fasting, and obedience to divine instructions.

I urge us to increase our spiritual capacity today, positioning ourselves for greater assignments, deeper revelations, and a life of impact in God’s kingdom.

Shalom!
