Opportunities before us

Posted on 01 Nov 2019

Opportunity is a gift from GOD. Our decision impact our and someone else life. Some opportunities are sacrificial you pour your life for somebody else.

Opportunity is a favourable time when we are in a position that it will impact our lives in a positive way. Some opportunities come and go. Opportunities don’t last forever.

You are where you are right now as you respond to the opportunities GOD is giving you.

The best way to recognise them is to read Word of GOD and allow GOD to show you. He uses His Word to show us the opportunities. He uses His Word to open our hearts to what He wants us to do. Be sensitive to the opportunities.

Mark 10:46-52

46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging.

47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.

48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, You son of David, have mercy on me.

49And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calls you.

50And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

51And Jesus answered and said unto him, What will you that I should do unto you? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

52And Jesus said unto him, Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

John 9:1-3

1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Today there are many spiritually blind.

2 Corinthians 4:4

4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

If you tell them they are blind with their heart and spirit, they will fight you.

There are opportunities that GOD sends in our life therefore we need to live with sensitivity to the work of the Holy Spirit in our life. How you sharpen your spiritual gifts to be able to identify the opportunities is that you read the Word of GOD. You began to watch how GOD desires to work in your life. He makes you sensitive to His voice, listen to Him, watch how He works in everybody else life.

The more they tried to make him keep quiet, louder he got. This was his opportunity. He did not let it go by. LORD Jesus gave him identity and He loved him no matter what.
