(Your Ability Is Of God)
TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV
“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.”
LET’S TALK
The Apostle Paul declares in 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV, “…our sufficiency is from God.” The Greek word translated sufficiency is “hikanotēs”, meaning “competence” or “ability”.
This means as a child of God, you’re not ordinary; your competence is divine. As you journey into this new year, approach it with this consciousness.
Your goals, dreams, and aspirations must be seen through the ability of God at work in you. You’re not limited to natural strength or human intellect; the Spirit of God has infused you with His wisdom and excellence.
This is why it matters what you say. Knowledge alone doesn’t establish divine reality; affirmation does. The Word must be on your lips.
Declare often: “My sufficiency is of God. I function with divine competence. I accomplish my dreams with excellence and fulfil every vision by the power of the Spirit.”
Each time you affirm this truth, you align your spirit with God’s Word. The Holy Spirit then guides your thoughts, inspires your creativity, and opens opportunities that position you for success. You’ll find yourself walking in paths that manifest God’s power and ability in you.
Understand also that growth is progressive. Competence in every area may not appear at once, but consistency in your confession and sensitivity to the Spirit will bring steady advancement.
Each step you take will reveal more of God’s ability in you until your life becomes the unfolding of His wisdom and glory.
So, as you embrace 2026, set your vision high. Don’t think small. Don’t plan as one who is limited. Your sufficiency is of God, and with His competence at work in you, every dream is possible, every goal attainable, and every vision achievable.
Go Deeper:
Philippians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 3:5 AMPC
Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the divine competence and ability you have empowered me with. My ability is not of myself but from you; I’m therefore divinely empowered to succeed in all things. As I meditate on and confess your Word, I walk in the reality of my divine nature and fulfil all that you have called me to accomplish, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Day 2 done: each time I affirm this truth, I align my spirit with God’s Word.
So admin I have something to say:
The guy in the audio pronounced the word ‘hikanotēs’ like ‘hic-ah-not-ehs’. (it’s actually pronounced like hik-an-ot’-ace)
Other than that the devotional is fine 🙂
