i can do all things : all things are possible unto me
Inherent in everyone is the potential to get ALL THINGS done in line with God's purpose, right from creation. Man can do all things and all things are possible unto him within the jurisdiction of the abilities wired into him at creation. The true purpose of man is revealed with the discovery, utilisation and maximisation of his potentials. POTENTIALS ARE DIVINE ABILITIES INHERENT IN MAN. POTENTIALS ARE DIVINE DEPOSITS OF DIVINE ABILITIES IN MAN. In other words potentials are what man is capable of doing but has not yet done. Man can do all things and all things are possible within the confines of his potentials.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Potentials are given or deposited for what one has been sanctified and ordained for; that is, purpose.
Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
It is potential that separates man into what he can do. For example, the ability for receiving and delivering prophecy to the nations was given to Jeremiah from the mother's womb. Divine ability for prophecy has been wired into him before conception.
Further more, no man created himself with a purpose ; it is God who created all men and separated them into their purposes. In the light of this, it is imperative on man to unite with God, discover himself, finds his potentials and uses it to fulfil God's purpose. No man living in isolation from God can finds his potentials and use them to fulfil God's purpose. It is notJeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not given to man to be independent of God.
Jeremiah 10:23
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Despite the divine deposits of divine abilities in man, man is not at liberty to operates outside of God. It is expected that man works in partnership with God in order to discover himself and to use God's divine abilities in him to fulfil God's plans and purposes.
HOW MAN PARTNERS WITH GOD TO FULFILL PURPOSE.
(a) Encounter with God, his maker.
God finds man and cause man to know Him as his creator.
Judges 6:11-14
[11]And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
[12]And THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED UNTO HIM , and said unto him, THE LORD IS WITH THEE , thou mighty man of valour.
[13]And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
[14]And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Man will discover God, himself and his divine abilities at the place of encounter with God. The place of divine encounter is the place of self-discovery.
(b) God becomes the God of the ones encountered (Eze 11:20; Eze 14: 11; Eze 36:28)
(c) God dwelling among His people (Eze 37:27; 2Cor 6:16; Zec 2:10; Exo 29:10; 1Cor 3:16"; Eph 3: 17; Rev 21:3)
(d) God walks/ moves among His people (2Cor 6:16; Dt 23:14; Lev 26:12)
(e) God works on the inside of His people, making them willing and doing His purposes (Phil 2:13; Heb 13:20-21; 1Kgs 8:58; 1Chr 29:14-18)
(f) God is with His people to do His works (Matt 1:23; Jn 3:2; Acts 10: 38; Gen 39:2, 21; Gen 21:22; Gen 26:24)
(g) God is for / on the sides of His people. Nothing can withstand them. (Romans 8:31; Num 14:8; Ps 118:6; Jer 20:11)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit are what makes man a formidable force on the earth. The strength of any man is in his partnership with God.
(1) God can do all things.
Job 42:2
know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
It is man's knowledge of the ability of God that strengthens man to overcome personal limitations and to do exploits (Daniel 11:32).
(2) Nothing is possible in the strength of man alone. All things are possible with God.
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
(3) Nothing is impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
(4) The man who is joined with God can do all things, through God.
1 Corinthians 6:17
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
The ability of God to do all things is in anyone that is connected to Him. As nothing can stops God, nothing can stops him.
(5) To the man who believes in God and what God can do, there is no impossibility.
Mark 9:23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Whatever God can do can be done through any man whose faith is in God.
In conclusion, as we go in the might of these revelations, there is no telling what God can do in and through us.
We can do all things and all things are possible unto us because we are one with God who is able to do all things. May we see God's power and glory where men thought nothing could be done, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I am the offspring of the Almighty God and joint-heirs with Christ. The able God dwells
in me, walks and works in me to will and do His good pleasure. Whatever cannot stops
God cannot stops me. I do nothing by myself but I do all things by the power of God

unto me.
