SPIRIT OF LIMITATION
Limitation can be referred to as the state of being limited or stagnant, not going beyond the set boundary. It is a barrier placed in a person’s way to greatness. They may have the potentials for greatness, excellence, and prosperity, but he/she is not making any real progress or movement in the right direction. Human beings are designed by God to move forward. Almost everything in you is designed to face forward. The things at the back are those you should not really consider. But if you are not truly going forward in any area of your life, then you are limited/stagnant.
Such people have spiritual ropes on their necks that limit them. A limited man is restricted by the devil. He suffers in the midst of plenty opportunities and possibilities. Though he may see, have dreams and visions of where he belongs or what he should attain but finds it difficult to get there.
