MFM Daily Devotional 30 July 2023 MESSAGE

In life, there are three things that cannot come back the spoken word, the time spent and neglected opportunities.

Opportunity has the following meanings

(1) It is an opening.
(2) It refers to favourable circumstances.
(3) It means advantageous situations, a chance and a discovered avenue for profiting.
(4) It is taking advantage of God’s gifts upon your life.
(5) It is having a big break, a possibility, a prophetic massage delivered to you (Proverbs 12:27).
(6) It is locating what will work and making it to work
(7) it is to know what to produce and knowing what not to produce.
(8) It is taking advantage of God’s gifts upon your life.
(9) It is favourable allowance that God has given to you.

God’s best gift to us is not in things but in opportunities. Blind Bartimaeus and the woman with the issue of blood used their opportunities. When you miss an opportunity, you miss success. Highly successful people are actually products of used opportunities and you can never find a lost opportunity. Being in the right place at the right time as well as availing yourself of opportunities that come your way will make you successful in life. The Scriptures are full of men who, instead of keying into the ministry of divine help and using their opportunities, wasted the opportunities.

(1) Adam and Eve squandered the opportunity God gave them in the Garden of Eden.
(2) Lat moved with Abraham who was very spiritual and built altars wherever he went, but he never built altars. He missed the opportunities heaven provided him with.
(3) Men of Sodom and Gomorrah saw angels. Instead of crying for the angels to help them, they harassed the visitors from heaven and missed their opportunity.
(4) Esau sold his birthright and missed his opportunity.
(5) The sons of Aaron, Nadad and Abihu they missed their opportunities to be very great priests of God
(6) Jerusalem too missed its opportunities by being unable to decipher its day of visitation (Luke 19:29-44).
(7) Judas lost his opportunity to be a great apostle. Satan entered Judas in the presence of Jesus and he betrayed his master.
(8) Gehazi lost his opportunity for the fourfold anointing of Elijah.
(9) Demas lost the opportunity of being a great apostle.
