The Power Of Opportunity – 2

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ezekiel 22:30(KJV); And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

In this life, I have learnt that the fastest man by the standards of the world might not necessarily be the fastest man. The fastest man might be in the remotest part of the world, sprinting for miles across grasslands as he moves from village to village.

It is possible that the fastest swimmer is not the man we watch during the olympics. The fastest swimmer might presently not even know how to swim. If he can swim, he might be doing so in lakes and rivers while hunting for his next meal. That man may leave this earth and never know that he was its greatest swimmer.

The greatest artists might not be the ones on television but men and women too hidden from the public eye for the world to know that they exist.

How is this so? These men and women do not have the opportunity.

How then does one unlock the doors of opportunity?

One of the principles of unlocking the doors of opportunity is availability because the Spirit of greatness responds to yielded men and not merely talented men.

There are men who are available to their families, available for their jobs, available to their businesses but they are not available to greatness.

Opportunity responds to a man who is available to greatness. A man available to greatness lives his life with a vision of his future in mind. There are sacrifices he makes because of the future he sees. Such a man knows that where he presently is, is not where he will end.

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Opportunity responds to a man who is available to greatness. Such a man knows that where he presently is, is not where he will end.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. Thank you for the opportunities you have laid before me, for the great things that I must do in this world. I am available for your work and purpose because there is nothing greater than serving God. I never lag in zeal, I am fervent in spirit, in doing the will of my Father. To the glory of your name, Amen.
