Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
This is the time to work, not in heaven. When we get to heaven, we will have answers to all questions. Imperfection will be made perfect and motality will be changed to immorality. Use all the knowledge and wisdom. Seek and search for knowledge. Knowledge is available. You can get wisdom from people who are ahead of you.
Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV) Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The wisdom of the wise virgin taught them not to be sentimental. They kept their oil so it will keep them through the Night. The foolish ones were forced to go out to look for oil in the night. When they returned, the doors were closed. These foolish virgins saw rhe opportunities but lost it.
David was not qualified to go to war. He seized an opportunity, notwithstanding the emotional blackmail of his elder brothers to dissuade him.
1 Samuel 17:28-29 (KJV) And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
Here was the opportunity, and the unqualified brought down Goliath .
God has a way of topping up for us where we fall short. It is not every opportunity we should jump into as a child of God.
Opportunities are combination of circumstances favourable to a people.
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.
To seize is to take possession by force. Everyone comes in conract for an opportunity almost every tine.
Are you prepared for that opporrunity if it comes now? Are you preparing to face tomorrow with outdated gadgets?
Knowledge is changing every 3 months now. If in three months you have not updated yourself, you are already outdated!
Luke 23:39-43 (KJV) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
The two thieves at the cross had opportunities to be blessed and saved one lost it by his utterances and one found himself in paradise with Jesus.
Your attitide under any circumstance can turn your wrong place to a right place.
Don’t let your sitiation beat your morale too low. Also have a positive attitide. The thief had an accidental encounter with a blessed response and attutude. Some persons have lost prospective suitors because of bad attitide. You will not lose any opportunity this year in the Name of Jesus.
The wise virgins had a positive attitide in carrying an extra oil. The thief had a positive attitide knowing he was condemned along with one who committed no sin. David seized the opportunity and brought down the head of Goliath. He could have choosen to stay with the sheep, but he took a decisive action! When he came face to face with Goliath, he came against him with the word of God and the right attitude. He understood that even if he was beaten yesterday, today was a new day.
He referred to Goliath as an uncircumcised Philistine. Despite the situation, learn to stay watchful for opportunities.
Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
This inspiration does not work in a negative environment. Your words should be positive. Despite the opposition, be ready like David.
Sometimes you need to push through!. Every thing was against David. He didn’t even have an armour that was his size! Always look for a.way out. Dont let anyone discourage you.
Sometimes to seize an opportunity; be sensitive to the voice of the holy spirit When you know God has sent you sonewhere, no matter the discouraement, stay there. Don’t always follow the crowd.
Stay in His presence with writing materials to receive instructions. You don’t need prayer books to pray.
OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT WAIT FOR THE SLOW OR FAINT HEARTED.
1 Corinthians 16:9-10 (KJV) For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
For people who are struggling in Ministry, you need a Timothy.
Every opportunity requires a persevering spirit. Ambition alone is not sufficient Sometimes you have to struggle for it. Sometimes you have to take some risk
How are you seeing the challenges of your life?
You may need to open your own limited liability companies. TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENS TO THEM ALL. Pray about it and God will lead you to someone to finance the job.
What if I lose evverything?
Start all over again! Positive attitude. Loss is a necessary part of life Be willing to take some risk be willing to aim high, higher than your hands can reach. Streach yourself. Leave your comfort zone!
Success with God is not magic.
Luke 21:15 (KJV) For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
May you meet with an encounter that will give you the needed opportunities. You will seize all opportunities and win your battles. I see excellence. Prosperity and new businesses everywhere. I see Ministries rising high . .
Ephesians 1:18 (KJV) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
May your eyes of understanding be enlightened to see.opportunities in the Name of Jesus.
