HOW TO GAUGE IF IT HAS BECOME AN OPPORTUNITY - NOW Series 008
READ Acts 10
Acts 10:11-13, KJV
"11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat."
When I asked the Lord, "how to gauge it has become an opportunity?" His reply was, "it will present itself." If it's not available, it's not opportunity. So, don't take it. In John 5, we didn't read that it was any of the invalids, priest or any fellow that goes to stir the water and say, 'it is ready, now leap and be healed." It's not what any man initiates. God sovereignly does at His time. None of those invalids lobbied for the favour of healing being done them. They only waited. How does their waiting translates into your experience today? It means, you should continue to do what you're doing - which your hand has found doing with all your might now until the time to change position has come. You may be a banker, driver, mechanic etc, continue being that. When the time has mature in God's mercy for you to leave that place to a new place, something like a violent reaction in the spirit will happen. When it does (without your initiation except that you're praying and fully expecting the 'trouble' to happen and the cloud to gather), that's when to go swiftly and take the opportunity. You will then dip the cloth in the dye; resign at work; relocate to a new destination or even break that relationship! Opportunities will always come slain. It will come presenting itself to you. It will give itself to you as take away. As long as you have the eyes that sees, you'll see this is mine to take. Don't come before the great congregation testifying God has done it all when you were the one going all around to see that the water is stirred. What I'm hearing is, "it will present itself. It will come dead. It will come prepared."
When it's an opportunity, the only voice you'll be hearing is "rise, kill, eat Peter." Was it Peter that made ready all those animals for himself? Was it Peter that led down that sheet? God did but what was God telling him to do, "act and take this opportunity!" Opportunities that you must take which will be righteous opportunities that won't deviate from "it's the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow will always come dead". It will come ready made and you'll know because if there's any demand following at all, it won't be unrighteous nor seen as demanding by you (the righteous).
PRAYER: Give me 'dead' opportunities. Those that come slain and adds no sorrow.
