The Power Of Opportunity – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

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.

There are many people in this life who have prepared themselves for great things but have never had the opportunity to be who they want to be. They have studied hard for years, obtained master’s degrees and yet they do not have jobs.

There are men with the ability to work in certain positions but men with less ability have occupied those positions.

There are men and women with great voices who have never recorded an album or stood on platforms where their crafts can be appreciated.

In our theme scripture, the Bible reveals that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither bread to the wise but time and chance happen to them all.

This means that opportunities are available to us all.

Opportunity is the only blessing that allows a man to release his hidden potential. If this potential is not released, the person will be like a pregnant woman who has exceeded the nine months of pregnancy and has entered the tenth month without bringing forth her child.

We all have the ability to express our potential through the power of opportunity.

God has not designed for you to have too much in you and yet not have the platform to express it.

He has not placed treasure in you and not created the place for you to shine. He has not anointed you to hide you. He did not light you and put you under a bushel.

He made you light and set you as a city on a hill. He lit your spirit so that gentiles can come to your rising. He wrote your story so you can be read by all men.

What is in you must come forth. What God has invested in your spirit must manifest. That is your portion and story.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

God has not designed you to have too much in you and yet not have the platform to express it. He has not placed treasure in you and not created the place for you to shine. He has not anointed you to hide you. He did not light you and put you under a bushel.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this knowledge. I know that great doors are opened to me because I never underestimate the power of opportunity. The world will see the greatness in me and know that I am called of God. I live a full life because I manifest all that you have placed inside me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
