OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT COME ONCE IN A LIFTIME

Opportunity does not come once in a life time, contrary to popular believes. The word opportunity means a time or set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something, it also means favorable circumstances.

It is common to see people make use of this very saying; “opportunity comes but once in a lifetime” This saying has structured the lives of many into a life of regret and a better yesterday.

You hear things like, “only if I had loved her a little better”,  “if I had gone to school”,  “if I had the right amount of money for that business”,  “if I had listen to my wife”, the list goes on and on.

YES, OPPORTUNITIES DON’T COME ONCE IN A LIFETIME, THEY COME BIGGER AND BETTER WITH EACH NEW DAY. People fail to see the power in each new day. Every day comes with opportunities that are better than the previous day, Just as today is greater in number than yesterday. How do I know this?

For God says, "Your cry CAME to me at a FAVORABLE TIME (opportunity), WHEN THE DOORS OF WELCOME WERE WIDE OPEN (opportunity). I helped you ON A DAY WHEN SALVATION WAS BEING OFFERED (opportunity)." RIGHT NOW GOD IS READY TO WELCOME YOU (another opportunity). TODAY HE IS READY TO SAVE YOU (another opportunity). (2 Corinthians 6:2 TLB).

Look at the above scripture very well, I have put in italics some key words and in bold letter others. See, the words “CAME”, “WERE”, “WAS” point to the fact that the opportunities are past, we can say gone with yesterday. Maybe utilized and maybe not. 

Now, I like you to see the words “RIGHT NOW” AND “TODAY”, they point to yet another opportunity.

Proverbs 4:18 says; But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Now, put both scriptures together and you will see clearly that opportunities come, not just once but again and again with each new day, bigger and better than yesterday’s. If you know this, you will not stop your life over a missed opportunity.

So quit staring at yesterday’s opportunity, today and now has presented you with a better one. Don’t lose today’s bigger and better opportunity looking at yesterdays.

Finally, remember, “For a tree there is always hope. Chop it down and it still has a chance — its roots can put out fresh sprouts.” (Job 14:7 MSG)

Great is his faithfulness; HIS LOVING-KINDNESS BEGINS AFRESH EACH DAY. (Lamentations 3:23 TLB).
