BETTER LIFE MESSAGE
DATE : TUESDAY JUNE 2, 2020
TOPIC: BE SENSITIVE TO OPPORTUNITIES (PART 2)
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 shinning stars of this world and that of the kingdom are product of diverse opportunities they are able to arrest and engaged effectively. If you think deeply, you will understand that not all the best brains usually ends up at the topmost top, but the ones we thought couldn’t make it but by chance of an opportunity they ended up springing surprises in life.
What a paradox. Check through your Elementary school, Secondary/High school and University/College, how many of the best brains and talented ones in your set can still be traced to the topmost top, may be very few.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to promote mediocrity, I am only trying to buttress the point raised in our scriptural text. Opportunities are very powerful and more than enough to give us access to where our certificates, smartness and skills cannot take us to, so refuse to be slack in taking advantage of opportunities.
KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES
I. OPPORTUNITY TO BE SAVED - This is the foundation and greatest opportunity that must not be missed or lost because it links us with Eternal Life, diverse opportunities on earth and above all it guarantees our safe arrival in heaven at the end of our sojourn on earth - John 3:1-8, 15-18 Until you are saved, your real and true life never begins. The life you are living without salvation is a fake life and not the real life. Salvation guarantees a life with a sense of direction.
Salvation is the gateway to becoming the sons and daughters of God which opens you up to the same order of inheritance with Christ as a Joint Heir - John 1:12, Romans 8:14-17. With salvation you are sure of direct access to the 7 redemptive packages listed in Revelation 5:9-12 (Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory and Blessing) which when correctly engaged, your glorious and colorful destiny is maximized and bound to manifest for all to see. 1Peter 2:9
REMEMBER THAT, YOU CANNOT BE CARNAL AND BE SPIRITUALLY SENSITIVE TO OPPORTUNITIES AT THE SAME TIME. Romans 8:1-8, 1Cor 3:1-3,
PRAYER POINT: FATHER, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, RELEASE UPON ME AFRESH THE UNQUENCHABLE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST AND LET IT CONSUME EVERY SEED OF CARNALITY WITHIN ME THEREBY MAKING ME FIT FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES ORDAINED FOR MY CHANGE OF STORY. Matthew 3:11-12, Romans 8:5-8, 2Timothy 2:19-21
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
