Topic: TAKE THE INITIATIVE!
Memory Verse: "And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do" - John 6:6 KJV
Bible Text: Ecclesiastes 11:4 KJV
4. He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
INSPIRATION: Never has life been a bed of roses or great victories won on a platter. It takes strong determination, skillful manoeuvres and an unshakable audacity to take the right initiatives that sway the pendulum in one's favour. It is irritating to see someone with a clearcut assignment who wastes their time procrastinating. They often fail to realise the wisdom in Zig Ziglar's advice, "If you wait until all the lights are 'green' before you leave home, you'll never get started on your trip to the top.”
You'll never know how many opportunities that slipped by or you've missed to hit several goldmines for delaying; you'll never know how many more destinies attached to yours that would suffer the very grave consequences of your negligence to take initiative. Square up your shoulders, brace yourself for it. You're well suited for this at this time. Don't let another great moment slip by. Go with a strike force precision and hit the home run. The moment is yours. Seize it and make it count!
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
A divine moment not seized and effectively used is an elongation of a season that you've outgrown. Think about it, please.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me not to waste my divine and destiny-changing moments any more. The grace to take the right initiatives is released upon me afresh to do exploits and conquer territories, in Jesus name.
