VOP 2022: January 17, 2022- Maximize chances, minimize excuses

VOP 2022: January 17, 2022 “Maximize chances, minimize excuses” To achieve any dream or anything we desire in life, there are usually set goals and preparation made in advance. There are opportunities that give us the privilege to make prompt choices or decisions which are usually time bound. If we delay or make excuses in such decisions, we may lose the chance of the actualization or the full manifestation of the desired dream. The reason most people are slow to act or maximize their chances is because they fail to prioritize right. We must ask God, “The Holy Spirit” to help us to be diligent and faithful so that we do not miss or lose our chances to other people who may not be as qualified as us, because God qualifies the unqualified. Making excuses shuts the door against one who may be qualified and opens the door for another who may not be qualified, and not expecting to receive, but is simply quick to seize the opportunity. Nugget: Take heed, so that you do not lose your chances to others who are more prepared and do not make excuses. What you can do quick, do and do not procrastinate. “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬. “Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭14
