WISDOM DELIGHT DEVOTIONAL
(MAY 13, 2025)
OPEN DOORS: GOOD OPPORTUNITIES - 1
1 Corinthians 16:8-9 ERV
"But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost. I will stay here, because a good opportunity for a great and growing work has been given to me now. And there are many people working against it."
Paul in the above verses said, a good opportunity was given to him for a great and growing work of ministry among the Gentiles in a particular season of his life and ministry.
Without opportunity, no man can be much. It is opportunities that make a man to amount to much. A man can be gifted, anointed, brilliant and even be deep and spiritual, but if he is denied opportunities that make great, he will not amount to much.
There are people who are not so skillful, brilliant or intelligent, there are pastors who are not so anointed so to say, but found relevant opportunities for their lifting and greatness, but they came across and maximized opportunities that make great in their journey.
All men find opportunities, but the kinds of opportunities that come your way matter. Some men are not wasters of opportunities, however, the kinds of opportunities that come their ways are not ones that can push them to fulfilment and greatness.
Friend, there are opportunities that make great in life. Such may look common or simple; you may come across such in the bus or trains, something, they hide in uncommon places and people, but they lead to destiny's greatness. Such can come through relationship, access, assignment or difficult engagement or errands.
PRAYERS
1. My Father and my God, in the name of Jesus, thank You for every past opportunity I have come across and enjoyed in the journey of life, thank You for more opportunities that come now.
2. My Father and my God, in the name of Jesus, by the Holy Ghost, lead me to and lead to me opportunities that make great in life, career, ministry, business etc.
3. I decree and declare, every door of opportunity that has been shut against my life, ministry, health, marriage, business or finance, open up now, in the name of Jesus.
