I know your works. See, I have set before you
an open door, and no one can shut it; for you
have a little strength, have kept My word, and
have not denied My name. REVELATION 3:8
An open door is an opportunity.
In the days before the construction of modern
harbours, a ship had to stay a distance away
from the shore to wait for the high tide before
they could make it to port.
The Captains had to wait for the critical moment
when the tide turned so that they could quickly
bring their ships to harbour. This precise timing
skill was known in Latin as, ‘ob portu’. It is a
term that literally means, 'standing off port,
waiting for the moment.'
The English word opportunity is derived from
this original meaning. It means to wait for the
right moment to act.
To recognize opportunity is the difference
between success and failure. When opportunity
knocks, we have to get up and answer the door.
Sadly, many people are unable to do just that.
They pray hard for God’s intervention yet when
the moment comes for the Lord to honour their
prayers, they either fail to see the opportunity
or hesitate and miss the opportunity.
I pray for you that today God will open your
eyes to the opportunities around you. I pray
that you will not miss your moment. MAY TODAY
BE YOUR DAY OF FULFILLED OPPORTUNITIES IN JESUS NAME.
