So I think anyone with a good fortune like that is timely, that is to say a person smart enough to capture a productive idea, and showcase . She is perceptive enough to detect what will work and how to make it work .
So what is an opportunity?
This is an avenue of enrichment has been discovered! It is locate what will work and do occur. Is knowing what will bear fruit . I consider the opportunity as the mother of good fortune. Being in the lack is to be unfortunate ! A wise man once said :
"Opportunity is missed by many people because she wears an apron referring to the work."
Indeed, many miss opportunities because they are dressed in smock . Many do not like the word work. They think the opportunity is the chance to enjoy what we have not won. But this is not the truth.
Another definition of opportunity is : enjoy the situations by the gifts of God in your life. By examining the situations you at hand , you determine that a particular property can be sold , and take the decisive step to attack the market.
There has long been a shortage of kerosene and gas arrived in the city , and a brother takes this opportunity to make a fortune. He went to the surrounding villages to buy firewood and brought into town. He made big sales in six weeks ! This is an opportunity! There was a situation at arms reach , and reasoning , he could benefit from it.
There is no shortcut to success. So stop the search through easy money and bypasses ! What you did not win does not remain in your hands. A wise man said : "There is no shortcut to success. If you focus your attention on traffic market , you never know market transactions . "
If you focus on the tricks of success, you never learn how to succeed. The only truth is that success is based on optimization opportunities.
How to locate opportunities?
There are four ways to locate and maximize opportunities :
1 . In a search :
"Ask, and it shall be given you , seek and and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened .
Matthew 7 : 7
You will never find what you are not looking . It is your responsibility to seek the gifts of God in how you can produce results . Are you saying: "What can I add to the company ? What contribution can I do with my life? You lead a sincere research into what your donations can produce to get a place in the system . You undertake to find where you can add something to life, and make an impact.
Do you know why this is necessary ? Because the opportunity is a sought person . If it does not come to you, it 's up to you to go looking for him. Conducting a meticulous research opportunity ! Something inside you just waiting to be expressed . Looking where to express themselves, and enjoy the benefits it will provide . Locate where you know or can do is ask , and sell it . You are a person of great value , a personality with great gifts . Look where these treasures can speak up and be used.
The world is a huge market place : "Being out at the eleventh hour , he found others who were on the spot, and he said: Why stand ye here all the day idle? Matthew 20 : 6
In this parable we find that the world is a marketplace where everyone has something to sell . Therefore locate where you have requested, and sell it at a good price . Jesus had found some idle on the market of life. When He asked them why they had idly doing nothing , they replied : " Because nobody wants to use us. " And His response:" If nobody hires you , then work on your own . "
A young man from our church is now the USA. This is a U.S. citizen. Being returned to his homeland , Nigeria , things went badly for his parents. While the sanctuary was under construction , he found there by the way to make money to pay for his ticket home . It was all day on the construction site, dressed in rags and carrying mortar. I was attracted to him by his expression. He had a clear English . I immediately understood that this young man was not in his place.
One evening , his mother brought him to me, asking me to pray for him, as he set off again in the U.S. the next day. I asked him how he got the money to buy the ticket , and he said : "Through the construction of the tabernacle ! "
Opportunities abound , but people are afraid of work they involve. People do not like to work , and that is why they cry that there are no opportunities . Jesus said : " Go to work ." This means that there is something to do . For you to find it. God does not give property to people. He pait for the services they render. You can not get life more than you put into it . A wise man once said : " Some people find that life is empty because they have nothing set . " .
2 . Create opportunities
If at the end of your search you find no opportunity , create one . The woman with the blood loss had said in his heart : "There is no way to access this man with such a crowd. But if I can manage to touch the tip of his garment, I shall be healed . " It created an opportunity for healing. Be creative and you generate opportunities . Say to yourself : "I can do it. I can do something. If nobody hires me , so I created my company ! "
3 . Seize the opportunity
On some occasions , you will not need to look for opportunities as they present themselves to you themselves. They will themselves dangled in front of you .
Opportunities abound around you. " Eyes that look are many, but few are those who see ," said a wise man. You can see abundant opportunities around you !
Looking through the scriptures, you meet people who became prominent through the opportunities that are presented to them and they have utilized. David lives in Goliath ( he killed ) an opportunity to access the throne of Israel . Joseph saw an opportunity through the king's cupbearer in prison. After interpreting his dream , he said : " Remember me when you're at the palace ."
Opportunities abound around you. They can not slip through your hands. Anything where you can be involved and adds color to your life is e opportunity to flourish . Anything that can put a bright smile on your face and increase your productivity is an opportunity. Enter one! And if it does not come knocking on your door , go in search of him !
4 . Use opportunities
It is one thing to find an opportunity, and anything else of value . Remember the man by the pool of Bethesda in John 5: 1-9 . He was slouched there for 38 years, and even when an opportunity presented itself to healing through Jesus , he was unable to grasp! Jesus asked, " Wilt thou be made whole? " Instead of simply answer " Yes " , he began to tell his life and his inability to dive into the pool .
You will have opportunities , yet will he commit to build on . This man was near "the pool of opportunities", but was only an unfortunate unhappy.
Opportunity is the mother of fortune
Be appropriate is to be wealthy . Another wise man once said : "Many of us have heard opportunity knocking at our door . But the time to open the lock of the double chain , double lock, kickstand double turn, and stop the burglar alarm in the basement , we finally open the door . But the opportunity is gone elsewhere. "
It is not enough to have an opportunity, you should stand to enjoy or you miss .
God bless you!
