Whoever says opportunities are limited really knows nothing about the definition of opportunity. Also, whoever sides in with the fact that opportunity is no longer in vogue has signed on lie of defeatism.
Opportunities remain constant, inexhaustible and readily available. But how come many are languishing in poverty, penury and lack if indeed your claims are real? How come many appeared to be hopeless and helpless in the face of life circumstances?
The definition of opportunity is what is readily available to all but can only be seen by few with courage. Scriptures says “… the honour of the King to find it out,” (Prov.25;2). We are all confronted, accosted and trampled upon by opportunities everyday of our lives but blinded by wrong definition of what opportunity is, and what it takes to access them.
God never created anybody for failure; the design of heaven is prosperity, good health and long life.
We became beclouded by environmental pollution; the system of the world sold to us a wrong definition of what opportunity is and where to find it.
Opportunity is that big business proposition presented to you which you rejected because of the size of your pocket or the amount of money in your bank account.
Opportunity is that idea that looks bigger than life to you. Because of our inability to define what opportunity is or what makes for it, we have ended up squandering it on the platform of ignorance and wrong definition. One thing you must know is that every opportunity that emanates from God looks the size of God. Always bigger, heavier and mightier than you.
Joshua (Josh 1:6-7) had to be repeatedly warned and encouraged of God because of the scary nature of opportunity presented to the children of Israel, which he is to lead them into possessing. He was petrified with fear at the enormity of the opportunity.
From time immemorial, the key to unlocking every opportunity presented to you in life is COURAGE. For every overcomer or achiever in the Bible, it takes courage for them to take God at HIS WORD and take delivery of what was rightfully theirs.
The opportunity that God showed them were far too much for their brain to comprehend. Take for example the case of Gideon, how do you face an army of 135,000 well-armed and equipped with 300 Men with only a torchlight and a sword, and almost weeing in their pants? It was a SUICIDE MISSION, but against what he saw, how he felt, courage delivered the entire army of the Midianites, Amorites and Men of the East into his hands cheaply (Judges 7).
Along will come opportunity disguised in the cloak of impossible situations, they are yours, never let them go, go for it! Never see yourself as being unable to take advantage of them. Men that flourish in life are men that have proper interpretation of what opportunity is, they waited for it and they took it.
What is it that God has shown you that look larger than life? What is that idea that demoralises you at the thought of it? It is time to summon COURAGE, take God at HIS WORD and slay it. Refuse to be intimidated and oppressed. Square your shoulders, look it straight in the “eyes” and defeat it as it has been destined.
Remain Blessed.
