BETTER LIFE MESSAGE
DATE : MONDAY JUNE 1, 2020
TOPIC: BE SENSITIVE TO OPPORTUNITIES (PART 1)
TEXT : Ecclesiastes 9:11 “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.”
The best of our lives in Christ is essentially at the mercy of opportunities we seize and maximize. According to our text, the outcome of our lives is largely dependent on the chances (opportunities) we buy into because the race is not to the swift, battles is not for the strong, bread is not for the wise, riches is not for men of understanding, favour is not for the skillful but it takes our sensitivity to opportunities that are locked up in times to maximize destiny.
Just like the examination of life are without timetables so also the opportunities that makes like count does not announce its arrival time, hence our spiritual sensitivity is very crucial so as to be able to arrest them.
In this kingdom and the world at large, we rise by the opportunities we are able to seize in life.
The good news is that, no one has the monopoly of opportunities and there is no single person that is without opportunities. Every single day is loaded with countless numbers of opportunities to rise but insensitivity is the reason why many in the body of Christ are struggling, sweating and labouring without anything to show for their efforts - Psalms 127:2, Isaiah 42:22 “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none saith restore”
Timely response to opportunities of life will bring about the rain of restoration that will launch us to the limelight.
Most often times, opportunities of life comes as work, insurmountable mountain of challenges, through relegated people in the society etc hence, it requires spiritual sensitivity to connect to them.
Check through Genesis to Revelation in the Bible, you will discover that those that rose to prominence were men and women that took advantage of opportunities.
The period you are most challenged are seasons of divine opportunities to change your story and levels in quick succession.
Rebecca got married to Isaac by rendering help to a stranger (Eliezer, Abraham’s servant), unknown to her that she was writing a qualifying examination to be married. Genesis 24:1-4, 12-14, 17-22
Aliko Dangote, one of the wealthiest people in Africa, maximized opportunity to connect to the Prophetic grace of Archbishop Benson Idahosa by choosing to give out his seat in the flight to his guest that need emergency flight to America. What an opportunity, yet there are many Christians on board that flight that refused to honour the Archbishops request for a seat.
You will not miss the opportunity ordained to change your story in Jesus Mighty Name.
REMEMBER THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WISH YOUR WAY TO THE REALMS OF GREATNESS, YOU CAN ONLY RIDE ON THE WINGS OF DIVINE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE GREAT BECAUSE IF WISHES WERE HORSES BEGGARS WILL RIDE.
PRAYER POINT: FATHER, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS AND BY YOUR SPIRIT, QUICKEN MY SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY AS DAILY CONNECT ME TO DIVINE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL BRING ME UNIMAGINABLE BREAKTHROUGH – 1Cor 2:9-10, 14, Psalms 119:25
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
