Opportunity is a period of time in which one is presented with a favorable circumstance-a good chance for advancement, growth and increase in life. God is the God of opportunities. He will present us with opportunities in our lives, which can be very uncomfortable. We must step out of our comfort zone to seize what He is offering us.
OPPORTUNITY STRETCHES FAITH
When opportunity knocks, you have to respond with faith. The opportunity that God presents is greater than your current position. It takes humility partnered with obedience to step into this. Stepping into opportunity will stretch your faith.
“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly but understand what the Lord wants you to do.” – Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT
Here, scripture is telling us that the wise make the most out of every opportunity. It’s not done out of a selfish or careless act, but strategically by the guiding of the Holy Spirit. It will be the still, small voice of God that will be pointing in the direction and path of the opportunity.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW DETERMINES WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
God opportunities will propel you forward into greater things. Opening doors supernaturally, shaping your future, developing you into a person of greater influence. You have to seize the opportunity that’s presented before it passes. You must determine to go where God wants you to go. Stepping into the current opportunity God is presenting to you will determine what happens next in your life. Don’t miss out on the promises of God in your life-the opportunities presented to you- due to being stuck in your comfort zone. There will be some uncomfortable variables along the way, because the enemy does not want your stepping into greater things. But rather focus on the OPPOSITION, focus on the OPPORTUNITY!
Every day you have an opportunity to grow closer to God. It’s an opportunity because God gave us free will, it’s a choice. Take advantage of this! Spending time with the Father has the potential to produce a miracle in your life! James 4:8 says to draw near to God and He will draw near to us. This very scripture is an opportunity! God will always meet you where you are, don’t miss out on what’s right in front of you!
WHEN OPPORTUNITY ARISES
In the story of the woman with the issue of blood, the woman was presented with an opportunity to receive her healing from Jesus. Just being there was unlawful, and she risked being killed. But she refused to let anything keep her from the opportunity and refused to let the opportunity pass her by. She believed she would be healed. She had to step out in faith and get uncomfortable. So many times, we miss our opportunity because we are too uncomfortable to act. Sometimes it takes being so desperate in your current state that you’ll allow nothing to hold you back from getting uncomfortable for the opportunity at hand. When God is on the scene, anything is possible! Step into the opportunity and watch what He can do!
When the woman touched Jesus it immediately caused the potential that was within Him to become a reality. Power flowed out of Him and immediately the miracle was evident in her. An immediate moment is all it takes! A moment where you touch God and He touches you. Be bold enough to get out of your comfort zone! When you step into a God opportunity you will never miss what you left behind!
