Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS (Part 3)!
Bible Text: John 14:6 KJV; Isaiah 43:19 KJV
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
INSPIRATION: As we take on another instalment in this series, it is important to stress the point that an open door is bigger and more beneficial than money. Money has its limitations but an access is limitless. Many people who chose the seemingly immediate advantage of cash inflow over an access lived to regret their choices. They only asked for fish rather than how to catch fish. It's like choosing a set of harvested crops during famine over an entire farm when you could own large acres of cultivated farms.
There's a process that access avails us that guarantees a harvest in perpetuity which instant gratification cannot provide. Whilst it may be a hard choice to choose access over immediate cash benefits, life has taught many the bitter lessons of not being wise or smart enough to choose right. Access may not come with instant rewards but its process matures you to handle greatness on a broader spectrum.
If it were possible to weigh money and access on a scale, you'd realise there's no basis for comparison. It is like comparing sand to gold, where sand is money and gold is access. That was how Lot chose wrongly and almost got ruined (Gen. 13: 10 - 11). To base your decisions on the promptings of your five senses only, is a sure recipe for disaster. You'd only be shortchanging yourself. Access will give you ladders and bridges to leverage on. It connects you to multiple levels of operational opportunities and multidimensional interconnectivity that leaves you with many more options to choose from.
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
Place premium value on access if you want to go farther in life. Don't be blinded by your quest to make it soonest that it forces you to despise the unlimited treasures you could find in an access.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the presence of mind and right attitude to appreciate and leverage on each divine access You bring me into. Help me not to despise or disdain my opportunities, in Jesus name.
