Opportunity is Waiting
Philippians 3:13 Brethren do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind & reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
Today everybody has a fresh new start in every area of your life.
God offers A New Beginning to all of us if we chose it. I must decide to receive what God has for me now.
Today, if you chose you are walking away from your past, you are walking toward something new.
This is the Year of opportunity.
God is a God of new beginnings.
All New Beginnings must begin with God.
My New Beginning depends upon my obedience in God.
Your New Beginning does not depend upon anybody but God.And if you are depending upon someone other than God,you will never get that New Beginning.
Today everybody has fresh new start in every area of your life.
Something good is going to happen to you this year.
Def; Opportunity- a combination of circumstances favorable for the purpose. Especially one that offers some kind of advantage.
Hosea 4:6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Because you have rejected knowledge.
The most dangerous time in your life is when you don’t have a need.
God offers A New Beginning to all of us if we chose it. Are you ready to learn!
In order to have a great year of opportunity we must give, sow, plant more.
We must be careful in what we are sowing to have great opportunities.
A seed is a tiny beginning with a huge future.
Galatians 6:6) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap or harvest.
What are you sowing? & What are you reaping or harvesting?
Tell somebody I need change in my life right now.
You must know what you’re sowing to have great Opportunities.
What your sowing is what your farming, developing & harvesting.
Your Love is a seed for relationships. Your Time is a seed. Your faithfulness is a seed. Your Prayers are seeds. Your Kindness is a seed to others. Your Patience is a seed. Thankfulness is a seed.
God named His seed. Gen1:11 Then God said, Let the seed bring forth after its kind.
Your seed is good & has the power to bring a harvest of its kind.
1. You have to name your seed. 2. You have to sow (plant) your seed. 3. You have to wait patiently. 4. You have to expect a harvest.
The Number one problem in the people of God is finances. In order to have great opportunities you must sow,(plant) your money.
Your Money is a seed.
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, & wine makes merry, But money answers everything.
1Tim.6:10 For the(be in love with,be devoted to, cannot resist),love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness & pierce themselves through with many sorrows.
God wants His people to be obedient in tithe seed.
You must believe that the tithe is Holy unto the Lord to have great opportunities.
Lev.27:30 “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the Seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord”.
Pro.3:9-10 Honor the Lord with your possessions, & with the first fruits of all your increase; 10) So your barns will be filled with plenty, & your vats will overflow with new wine.
Your Seed is the proof of your faith. It is the proof that you have conquered greed.
Tithe consistently
Each tithe is an act of faith, a seed of obedience that creates momentum.
When you tithe consistently, you will create a consistent Harvest. Satan steals. Man hoards. God gives.
1Tim.1:7 ”For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, & of love, & of a sound mind”.
Tithing is proof that you have mastered feared.
Fear torments.It makes you hoard instead of giving. You become afraid that you can never replace the money that you are “giving to God”. The truth is, the tithe is already His.
Satan steals. John10:10 The devil comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy. He steals by not wanting you to know the truth.
John 8:44 The devil is a liar & the father of lies.
Satan has seeds of deception, evil, lack, poverty.
Do not let him plant these seeds in your heart. Your enemy is trying to confuse you, not understand you. Your enemy is to be destroyed, not understood.
Your giving is the only proof that God lives within you.
It is the only evidence that the nature of God is flourishing inside your heart. Sowing is the only known cure for greed.
