=BE READY FOR YOUR MOMENT.=
John 4: 35 (NKJV)
Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'?
Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are
already white for harvest!
We have been looking at living outside of procrastination, living with a
desire to harvest and seize what is in our worlds now. Too many people are
waiting for what may come one day. We need to remain in faith concerning
the yet unseen of God in our future, but we must also be the people that
Carpe (grab) the day. We looked at relationships yesterday and today I want
to challenge you with opportunities. I believe God brings and offers
opportunities to us all at different times and we have a choice to grab them
(carpe them) or let them pass us by. Live in such a way that with wisdom you
seize opportunities, especially those which are authored and sent by God.
At different times in the Bible you see God turn up and offer something,
then you get to witness some who Carpe the God-offers and opportunities and
those who don't. Think of Elisha and that moment when Elijah walked across
the field and offered him His mantle. God's intention was clear and the
choice was now Elijah's. He chose to burn his plow and step into His God-
opportunity. He could have chosen to keep on plowing. When the disciples
were fishing they never saw Jesus coming, but He had been watching them.
Suddenly, a God-opportunity comes out of nowhere Jesus says, "Drop your nets
and follow me…" Again, they had the choice to say, "No thanks, we like
fishing!" Instead, they courageously seized the moment and stepped into
their destiny. Sadly, the rich, young ruler thought that he was ready for
his moment but when the cost was explained he really wasn't.
- God will always bring opportunity to you. Some small, some large ,some
bigger than you could have ever imagined, but make sure you are ready for
the 'no warning' offer of God when it comes.
- Let us all make the choice like the wise virgins to live ready, not just
for the 2nd coming of Christ but for those divine opportunities that
suddenly come that need us to respond with faith, not fear.
- I believe He prepares you for these moments when you are not even
noticing. I believe He had been working on the heart of Elisha prior to
Elijah's arrival. He had been working on the heart of the fisherman before
the one time offer came. He is working on our hearts now concerning future
moments and opportunities that are on the way.
King David was prepared for his opportunity with Goliath while defeating
lions and bears. Look at it this way, what you are getting victory with
today is setting you up for golden opportunities that God is going to bring
to you in your tomorrows.
Live ready for God moments because they come to us all!
God Bless.
