VIKTORIOUS MINISTRIES

Opportunities – Are they what separate us? Some believe that because of their lack of opportunities in life they can make excuses. They believe that they were born into a bad family with a poor father. They believe that they don’t have the right color hair for the part. They believe they haft to have money to make money.

Their outlook is based on their current circumstances and they can’t see any further than that.

Now, you may be saying “well, I can see myself doing my dream job; but I just don’t know how to get there”. What you need to know is seeing further is not “dreaming” about who you want to be.

Your “dream” will always be a dream; if that’s all you do about it. My question to you is “How are you going to arrive at your destination? Now, if you read my last post, you know that you’re most important moment is the one that you’re living in right now.

Your life can’t be lived in the future; it must be lived in this moment. Remember this; life is lived today. You may not know this; but the person you desire to be, (you know, the one you dream about at night and day-dream about while you’re doing your current job) can be who you are today.

Your clothes, your house and the car you drive don’t make you who you are. They never have, and they never will. As soon as you understand that you will begin to realize how important the moment you’re living in now is.

You will begin to see “destiny” differently and more importantly you will begin to see people differently.

The question “How will you arrive at your destination?” must then be answered in the moment called now.

Now, in today’s culture we glorify “the answer” when in all reality the “answer” will not magically bring us to the destination. Most people believe that just because they have “the answer” they will reach their goals.

Which bring us back to “Your opportunity.”  Whether you know it or not opportunities are not situations that come to you, you must go to the situation. If you think you’re going to sit around on your couch and God is going to bless you; He won’t.

You must take action and press forward. We are to overcome evil; not sit back and let it beat us to a pulp. If there is a trade you desire to do, if there is a job you wish to have or a career you would like to be in; you must make opportunities for yourself.

Get involved in low level management of the job you desire. You must begin by taking a step into your desired life. And remember, you cannot be ashamed of starting small.

What do you want more; keep your so called “dignity” and sit on your couch the rest of your life? Or would you rather start by sweeping the floors in the career you know you were born to do?

JOB 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

I often wonder what my destiny holds in store for me and I begin to dwell on the future. I realize the future can be a very scary place. It is a place of insecurity for some, because they do not know what will come or what awaits them.

Some believe that they can change their future. They make plans, they write out what they want to do with their lives and set goals. They strategically map out their entire lives and believe if they stick to this regiment, it will bring them happiness and a sense of fulfillment.

Many believers also take this same approach to life. And others of the faith believe that this approach is wrong, and state: you should wait on God and let Him direct you.

They quote scriptures like “if the Lord is willing”, and because of this scripture most never take any action in their Christian walk as a believer.

So is writing out what you desire to do with your life wrong? Not necessarily; but you must question your motives as to why you want to do what you want to do.

One thing we fail to realize as both believers of the Word of God and as people of this world is that our mind was not meant to figure out our futures. In fact the Word of God says that that the natural mind (or your human thinking) is an enmity against God.

We were not made to think out our futures. Sure, there is nothing wrong with goal setting. There is nothing wrong with having a plan. But if that is where your security lies, your plans will not bring you peace. They will not bring you happiness or contentment. They will not bring you the life that you have truly desired.

Sure, they may bring you great wealth; you may become respected amongst men. You may become the person your father or mother wanted you to become; but none of this is real. None of these things will last forever. The life you build here on this earth will be left when you leave and the memory of who you are will slowly fade away.

Destiny is not a point in the future. No, destiny is the spot you are supposed to be in right now. I remember talking to a friend one time about our destinies. We were talking about the people we thought we were called to be and wondered how this would all come about.

I remember him making the statement “God, I just don’t know how I will get there”. I clearly saw that he was trying to figure out his whole entire destiny. He was trying to map out in his mind how he was going to achieve his goals.

I realized that because he was so focused on the future, he would never take action today. I also discovered another startling fact; he was always going to be subject to his circumstances. No plan, no matter how great, is not without a flaw. A plan cannot dictate what life will be like in 10 years.

One thing is for certain; you will never accomplish your dreams by thinking about it. We were not made to be led by what we THINK we should do.

No, we were made to be led by our hearts. We sometimes describe it as a “gut feeling” or our conscience; but it is much more than that.

For Christians it is the inward witness, the Holy Spirit who dwells in you because you accepted Christ as your Savior. The Bible says that those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. You are really not a child of God until you are led by Him.

If you desire to walk in the life you desire you must be led by your heart, not your head. Your head will always tell you to “leave it until tomorrow”; but your heart will always tell you what to do now.

I finished by telling my friend that I too was uncertain of what the future held, but that didn’t really matter. I told him that all my life I have been sure of one thing: God will always show me what to do at this very moment. I am not to look to what I should be doing 5 years from now; but rather what I should be doing at this very moment.

Right now is your greatest moment; what are you doing with it?

What will make me happy? If we can answer this question, we can answer of life’s other questions. But it seems to me that it is the question itself that leads to our moments of depression (some more than others I might add). The focal point of the question is based on the noun ME.

Our quest for happiness cannot begin with ourselvess because it is the wrong starting point. When begin our pursuit of happiness it must be started at single point. In this case all roads do not lead to Rome.

And let me add this; the fore-fathers got it wrong when they said the pursuit of happiness; because happiness, as you may know, seems to flee at every opportunity it gets.

The problem is that most of us don’t look in the mirror enough. We look around at the circumstances and the conditions of our life. I think we forget sometimes that life is filled with empty boxes.

We mistakenly believe that goals we have achieved have brought us happiness; so we continue to pursue after things and these people, so that they can bring us joy.

Our problem can be summed up in one word: Foundation. If don’t have a foundation you will be up one day and down the next. See, most people don’t even know who they are. They just stumble around life being the person everyone else has told them to be.

They have no self worth, they have no self value and of course they are never happy. Until you have a purpose in life, you will never be significant. You’re biggest problem is your lazy. Sure, you say work hard…. But let’s be honest, doesn’t everybody “say” that they work hard?

You must become a person who is purpose driven. Notice I didn’t say purposes. You must narrow Your life goal down to one (not two) specific goal.

I’m sure you’ve been told all your life that you’re special and you made to do something very special; guess what, everybody’s special, everybody’s different, so don’t make such a big deal about YOU.

In fact get over yourself and stop letting your pride get in the way of who you really are. Stop trying to figure out who you really are and why you’re here on this earth.

Stop reading all those dumb books and start DOING this one specific thing!
