MFM Daily Devotional 31 July 2023 MESSAGE

Yesterday, we started to look at the meaning of opportunity and people that missed opportunities in the Bible. We also looked at various opportunity wasters. Today, we want to look at what to do to overcome opportunity wasters. Procrastination is a cemetery of opportunities. God does not use a person who has had chances and will not take them.

Opportunity is often lost by deliberation and procrastination and when you keep dismissing an opportunity, you will miss so many good things. Sometimes, what we call adversity or problem, God calls opportunities. Small opportunities are often the beginning of great achievements.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 30 July 2023 – Overcoming Opportunity Wasters (I)

It is on record that great opportunities come to those who make the most of the small ones that they get. When opportunity knocks, you have to get up and answer the door. If you don’t answer the door, the opportunity will walk away. You are what you are today because of the people you have the opportunity to meet or the people you miss. Wasted and missed opportunities are very problematic. A wasted opportunity can set your life in a terrible spin. A wasted opportunity can set your life backwards.

A wasted opportunity can hinder, detain and hamper you. A wasted opportunity can stop the release of your potential. A wasted opportunity can be very tragic. When the opportunity is lost or missed, destiny is derailed and disorganised.

Here are some of the ways you can overcome opportunity wasters;
(1) You need to become a friend of God but surrender your life to Jesus.
(2) You need to sit down and analyse your life.
(3) You need to sit down and think of the opportunities that have come your way, the ones you have taken and the ones you have not taken.
(4) You need to have a rugged determination that you will no longer miss your opportunities.
(5) You need to pray hard to defeat opportunity wasters.

Make up your mind, whether there are giants in your land or whatever is happening in your land; you have facilities and opportunities. You need to take the bull by the hom and make sure that the enemy does not use you as a bad example or a bad testimony.
