Responsibility of chances

If you don’t fight in a battle you won’t appreciate the victory. Some of us think that because the scripture said that in his time, He makes all things beautiful, that automatically means that when His time comes you will pluck success off trees like Cherry without taking risks or attempting chances. Its a cheap grace mentality to think that you will not need to lift a finger.
Yes you will know when its time because there will be peace but that peace is not cheap. The ultimate measure of peace is discovered in war. You will need to act responsibly when His time comes. You may be surprised at the workings of God that you will be experiencing such that you begin to ask yourself where you’ve been all along and how come you were not seeing certain things before this time. The truth is: When His time comes all things may not be necessarily easier than you wish. You may not necessarily struggle for things but you will have to take responsibility for them.

The true season of greatness is that which comes to us… it is true that it may not be the door we forced open, neither the vision we created out of self-will but through divine direction, outworking of grace, by right positioning, through the power relationships ordained from above, personal preparation through mind engagement, studying of great men and women’s books, we are ushered into new seasons. We enter seasons as though they were unfolded to us although, they’ve always been there all along, and we see and capture opportunities. The truth is we were the ones who shifted; we were the individuals who changed and behold the opportunities? They appear! Just like Hagar, the maid of Sarah, she was close to the well water but she did not see it until God opened her eyes. Genesis 21:19 says: And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

Wholesome Restlessness!

Imagine how Esau was replied by his father Isaac after losing his blessing to Jacob, the cheat he had as a brother. He was told that until he becomes restless enough, that is when he will be able to break the oppression off his neck. Until then, he will keep serving his junior brother. His story would lead me into a conclusion i arrived at recently. And that is to live a life of wholesome restlessness. I've realized that the secret lie in the restlessness to succeed! Not allowing anyone to dissuade you from what you see and believe in.Whenever i talk about issues like this; i hear people say that you are sounding desperate. In point of fact, if you are not determined and desperately out to catch the free flying flies of financial freedom, greatness and success you are not going to catch them.

I will like to differentiate between wholesome restlessness and mere desperation.A desperate person is a frustrated fellow who is trying to act from an hopeless standpoint rather than look out for opportunities and take them. Being on the look out for opportunities is a thing we all need to be trained in. Our eyes often see what our heart is seeking. It takes an extraordinary heart to see and pick what is not obvious. And that is the point. A point where you can sense, smell, sniff opportunities and go for it doggedly until you catch up with it. A restless heart keep searching, keeps inquiring, until s/he is able to see, hold what s/he seeks in a tangible state.
