Proverbs 20:27 says that: The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. The human spirit is a very important part of everybody. What we are today and able to do is as a result of the condition of our human spirit. Man has made a lot of inventions and progressed from within, that is, from our spirits. Mention can be made of the cars, airplanes, spacecrafts etc. that have been invented. Medicine has also made so much progress over the century. Diseases that used to kill human beings some years back are not able to do so now because of medical advancement. All these advancements are as a result of the human spirit. The human spirit has also invented some lethal things which have brought about hardships in this world. How happy the world would have been if these energies that invented lethal things were channeled into inventing things that would have benefited the world!

When you become a christian, you are able to achieve much more because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your body. There is a union between your human spirit and the Holy Spirit. This union gives you the upper hand in any discovery in this world. The union conditions your spirit and helps you to know and do the right things. To know your future is dependent on the condition of your spirit. Your spirit is responsible for searching out things in the spiritual realm and delivering them to you. That is why it matters what you read and imbibe into spiritual system. The word of God and the Holy Spirit have all it takes to condition our human spirit and give us an edge over the challenges of this world. The Holy Spirit can aid us to discover more knowledge in medicine, science, engineering and any other relevant sectors in the world.

Because God has deposited treasure(s) or potential(s) in us, it is our responsibility to develop and bless the world with it. These potentials have always been in us. This is likened to a baby born on the first day. That baby may weigh about 3kg on the first day and look fragile and helpless. The baby has the potential to grow bigger and weigh more than 3kg; the baby has the potential to walk like any other normal human being after sometime; the baby has the potential to talk and function in many other areas of human endeavour. Like a baby with several potentials, the christian also has so much within which need to be discovered and developed.

To discover these potentials within us, we need the word of God. The word of God reveals to us who we truly are. Science has discovered many potentials of man but there are still more potentials in man that science has not discovered yet. It takes the word of God to make further discoveries regarding the potentials of man. For instance, the spirit nature of man came to light through the Gospel. Other potentials are that: we are the light of the world, meaning that, we are leaders in the world; we are doers of the word, meaning that, we don’t have difficulty in obeying what God has said in His word; we are able to heal terminal diseases that science has given up on etc.

God Almighty has finished His part of the ‘contract’, so it is your responsibility to produce results and let the world benefit from your treasure(s). This is the meaning of Matthew 5: 16 (Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven). A normal baby of age should be able to walk effortless because that ability or potential is already there. It is up to the baby to make a few attempts at walking for the first time with the assistance of an aid. The Holy Spirit, through God’s word, helps us to discover the treasure(s) God has deposited in us and to help us to demonstrate those treasure(s). Continuous fellowship with the Holy Spirit is key to enabling us live and shine as light in this world. Can you imagine how the world will be like if every christian discovers who they are and act accordingly? This is the truth in God’s word.
