Stinkin Little Limiter

I have a scooter, an off-brand Vespa.

Somebody told me that my scooter has a governor—an attachment to the throttle which limits speed.

This drives me crazy.

I know it has the potential to go faster, but somewhere hiding in the engine is a little thing that keeps it slow.

And I don’t know how to find it, change it, or remove it.

Grrrrrrr…

That stinkin little limiter!

Sometimes I think we (God’s people / the Church) have a governor.

We have potential for greater things, but somewhere hiding in our hearts is a little thing that keeps us small.

And we don’t know where to find it, change it, or remove it.

That stinkin little limiter!

There is a solution for my scooter: I can go to a mechanic.

He knows what I don’t. He can fix it—he can lift the limits.

So, what about us / what about the church?

2 Corinthians 3.14 informs us: Only through Christ are the limits lifted.

With the limits removed, “We are being transformed… from one degree of glory to another.” (2 Cor. 3.18)

In other words, when the limits have been lifted, we go to a whole notha level.

I’m asking God to do that…

Fix us.

Take the limiters off.

And take us to a whole notha level.
