Recently, in my prayers, the Lord has been speaking the same thing to me over and over: “Huge Opportunities.” When I received this word, opportunities began to open up for me in ministry, business, and other areas of influence. When God speaks a word to you, expect him to move on that word in your life. 1 John 5:14 through 15 says, “We are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him, and since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.” NLT
As Kingdom believers, we should have full confidence that God will establish the plans He has placed on our hearts. The opportunities you are going to receive aren’t luck, chance, or accident, but by God’s favor and appointment. This is the season for believers to rise and claim the territory assigned to them. Expect big, life-changing opportunities to find you in these next 90 days!
The most important thing you can do in prayer is pray according to the will of God. If you want to see all your prayers answered and plans established, commit them to God and ensure they align with the will of God. Start praying for huge opportunities that align with the will of God over your life, and doors will begin to open for you.
Remember that obedience to God is also key. God honors those who are quick to obey, and he continues to bless and give opportunities to those who are good stewards of what they have. God didn’t just give me the word “Opportunity,” he said, “Huge Opportunities” because we are in accelerated times. Start making yourself God’s best candidate for opportunities! Here’s how you can do that: go on a fast, stay consistent in the word of God, establish daily prayer time, quickly obey when God speaks, and renew your mind with the word of God. All of these are ways you can see favor, blessing, and opportunities continually produce fruit in your life!
One of the most vital things about opportunities is walking them out with good stewardship. God honors obedience, but he also honors stewardship. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” NLT. We were meant to use our gift to serve others with good stewardship. Each and every person has a gift placed on their life, and whether or not you choose to steward that gift well is up to you, but God will continually give these huge opportunities to those who he knows are going to see it through to completion.
A core principle we see in the Bible is excellence. Excellence is not a man-made standard; it’s biblical. We see in the Bible Exodus, 1 Kings, and 2 Chronicles, where things were being established by God with excellence. These temples and tabernacles were being built to an uncommon standard of excellence with the best quality materials and furnishings. These examples prove that God honors excellence, and huge opportunities are coming to those who are quick to obey, inclined to the spirit, and ready to build, create, and design with an excellent spirit.
