TOPIC: MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY
*EPHESIANS 5:15-18*
15 Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
*MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY*
In life, everybody has their share of opportunities. Whether big or small, opportunities are meant to be taken and utilized.
Paul cautions his readers to live wisely, not unwisely. He also tells them to understand what the Lord’s will is, and not to be foolish. Every successful person you see today, regardless of how you define success, took certain opportunities when they came their way.
Unfortunately, some people misuse their given opportunities and end up in misery. Paul warns us not to get drunk on wine. You need to be sane to leverage on opportunities when they come. Instead of getting drunk, you should be filled with the Holy Spirit.
The vision we are to wait for this year, as our theme stipulates, is one that requires being sane and ready. Some have missed many good, once – in – a – lifetime opportunities due to alcohol. Find your way back to sanity – make the most of every opportunity that presents itself. God is fair to all. Life is fair to all.
QUESTION:
What opportunities have you missed as a result of not being sane and alert?
PRAYER:
Keep me in check, O Lord. Help me to cash in on every opportunity You allow to come my way, in Jesus name. Amen.
