The Power Of Opportunity – 4

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ecclesiastes 9:11(KJV); I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 

There are no coincidences when it comes to opportunity. You must know how to open doors for your sake. 

This is what makes the life of faith deliberate and not a matter of chance and luck. No one stumbles into success or greatness. If they do so, they will also stumble out of it. 

Opportunity does not waste time with the timid and unprepared. In fact, if you are unprepared and the spotlight of success is ever trained on you, you will not be able to hide your unpreparedness. 

When you look through the scriptures, you will find a pattern of deliberation for the men and women who received from Christ by faith. 

The friends of the paralytic man broke through a roof (Luke 5:17-39). That was deliberate. 

The woman with the issue of blood reached for the hem of his garment, that was deliberate (Luke 8:43-48). 

Blind Bartimaeus called out to the Lord and ignored those who asked him to be quiet (Mark 10:46-52). 

Opportunity is not for the passive who sit idly waiting for something to happen. 

It is for those who climb out of their comfort zones, defy the odds and reach out for destiny. 

What do you want to achieve? 
Where do you want to go? What do you want to build? Who do you want to become? 

Step out in faith. Do the things that point you to destiny. Act like a man or woman on a mission to greatness. Start that business, take that job and roll out that idea. 

The doors of opportunity respond to those who are deliberate in faith.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for the power of opportunity. There is great potential inside me. I step out in faith to do the great things you have ordained for my sake. Success is mine because I am deliberate. Greatness and increase are mine because I am deliberate. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
